In his first interview in six years, Zayn Malik peeled back the curtain on fatherhood, music — and even addressed his feud with Yolanda Hadid. Malik, 30, dished on his journey in the spotlight on the Wednesday, July 12, episode of the “Call Her Daddy” podcast, sitting down with host Alex Cooper at her family’s home in Pennsylvania.

However, drama still found him in the suburbs.
