Zayn Malik fans spent Friday in a frenzy after a viral X post claimed the former One Direction star had come out as bisexual, using lyrics from his new song Take Turns as supposed proof. The claim, centred on Malik's words about 'boys' and sharing a lover, ricocheted across social media within hours, but the singer has made no such announcement, and there is no verified statement from him confirming any change or clarification about his sexuality.
The news came after the release of Konnakol, Zayn Malik's new album, which dropped on 17 April and immediately sent fans poring over its lyrics for hidden meanings. In the middle of the usual first-week excitement and promotional noise, one particular track, Take Turns, was seized on as a kind of coded confession. That search for clues, combined with a well‑known parody account on X, appears to have been enough to convince tens of thousands of people that a major personal revelation had taken place when, in reality, nothing of the sort has been confirmed.
