I wasn't too sure on if i should write this post or not because being such a One Direction fan my opinion on the matter is pretty bias. However, after a request i thought it was appropriate to go ahead.
Basically, for those saying 'they saw it coming' and 'they knew he would be the first to go' are in my opinion trying to act as if they knew anything about the situation when in fact to fans of One Direction it was a shock and things were only appearing to be wrong when Zayn left for stress. Zayn to the outside world seemed happy, he was seen out happy , joking with the rest of the band and crew, tweeting 'let's do this' before shows. So saying 'they saw it coming' is impossible unless they were with him personally. Zayn was always a bit distant from the band but that is due to the fact he is in a serious relationship, is always travelling home to spend time with his family in Bradford and he has other hobbies such as Art that he likes to enjoy away from the hustle and bustle of the band. I am not pretending to know Zayn because he has no idea who i am but as somebody who has followed 1D since day one i feel as if my opinion is more valid than those who have listened to the hits and seen a few tabloid articles.
At first when i found out Zayn had left i was shocked, upset and felt slightly disappointed. However, i just wanted him to be happy. With the rest of the band showing support towards Zayn that gave me comfort. I knew the band would carry on so it wasn't so bad because at least there was 4 boys left. Of course i was upset however knowing that Zayn was stressed and had published a statement saying he 'wanted to be normal' i felt as if i should be happy for him, knowing he would stay in touch with the boys and had support from Perrie i was Ok with the situation.
Naughty Boy. The thing with the Naughty Boy situation is if Zayn would have released this song whilst in the band i know all the fans would be happy for him because Niall does writing for other artists, Harry writes on the side for artists and friends, Liam and Louis have spent time with studios with other artists helping them out. So Zayn doing a solo project didn't bother me. However, releasing the song with Naughty Boy a matter of days after leaving 1D because he wanted to be 'normal' and didn't want to be a part of the music lifestyle for a while was strange and completely went against what he had said. What upset and made me angry was the fact the remaining One Direction band members were tweeted by Naughty Boy and had the song rubbed in their faces. Zayn had lied to the band who had built his career and who he had called his 'brothers' and 'best friends' for the past five years.
I will always support One Direction and if i am honest Good Luck to Zayn for everything he does in the future but it's gonna take a lot to make up for the Naughty Boy situation.
So there my opinion on the matter.
If you don't agree then fine but as a fan, i am pretty upset and angry about it.
