Zayn Malik AXED by RCA ‘over fears he’s smoking strong cannabis’ after denying Yolanda Hadid claim

Zayn Malik has been dropped by his record label, RCA, following fears that he has been smoking ‘extremely strong’ cannabis according to a new report.

This comes after it was revealed that the 28-year-old singer had split from model Gigi Hadid, 26, after denying claims that he had struck her mother Yolanda Hadid.

Now The Sun is reporting that Malik has been ditched by his US record label RCA following claims from those close to him saying that he has been increasingly smoking ‘extremely strong’ cannabis.

A senior music source told the publication on Thursday: ‘A lot of people have tried desperately to get Zayn’s life and career back on track, but nothing has worked.

‘So many people who have worked with him have just given up.

‘He’s almost impossible to control or guide. A while ago his label quietly decided it was the end of the line for their relationship, and now this.’

Zayn has often spoken openly about smoking marijuana, previously revealing that he thinks it can help him when it comes to his ‘creative process’ as a musician.

This comes after it was revealed that Malik had pleaded no contest to four counts of harassment after allegedly pushing his partner’s mother, Yolanda Hadid, into a dresser and calling her a ‘f*****g Dutch sl*t’ last month in a fight at the home he shares with Gigi in Pennsylvania.

The details emerged in court documents obtained by DailyMail.com on Friday. They reveal that he was charged with four counts of harassment, that he pleaded no contest and that he must ow complete 360 days probation in addition to completing an anger management class.

The British singer must also have no contact with Yolanda, his daughter’s grandmother, or with John McMahon, a security guard for the Hadid family who witnessed the incident and who he also harassed.

The documents confirm previous source claims that there was a fight in the couple’s home near New Hope, Pennsylvania, which emerged on Thursday alongside the news that Zayn and supermodel Gigi had split. It remains unclear if they broke up before the fight, or as a result of it.

The couple share a one-year-old daughter, Khai, and lived in a farmhouse in Pennsylvania, near Yolanda’s home.

On September 29, Yolanda went to the couple’s property while Gigi was modeling in Paris.  Zayn was there, though it’s unclear if Khai was. What transpired next is unclear but the pair started arguing and Zayn ‘grabbed Yolanda’ and ‘shoved’ her into a dresser.

He also verbally berated her, screaming: ‘Stay away from [my] f*****g daughter and calling her a ‘f*****g Dutch s**t’.

He is said to have called Gigi in Paris and yelled down the phone to her: ‘Strap on some f***ing balls and defend your partner against your f***ing mother in my house.’

A security guard was present for the exchange, according to the court documents, and Zayn screamed at him: ‘Get the f*** out of my f***ing house copper.’

At another point he referred to fathering Khai with the ‘f*****g sperm that came out of my f*****g c**k’.

Gigi has refused to comment in detail on the matter but released a statement on Thursday night.

‘Gigi is solely focused on the best for Khai. She asks for privacy during this time,’ her rep said

Yolanda is yet to comment.

Zayn posted a statement on social media on Thursday that confirmed there was an incident, that he pleaded no contest (although it was unclear at the time that he’d been criminally charged) and that he was trying to protect his daughter.

He denied striking Yolanda, as had been reported by TMZ, citing an unnamed source.

‘As you all know I am a private person and I very much want to create a safe and private space for my daughter to grow up in.

‘A place where private family matters aren’t thrown on the world stage for all to poke and pick apart.

‘In an effort to protect that space for her, I agreed to not contest claims arising from an argument I had with a family member of my partner’s who entered our home while my partner was away several weeks ago.

‘This was and still should be a private matter but it seems for now there is a divisiveness and despite my efforts to restore us to a peaceful family environment that will allow for me to co-parent my daughter in a manner in which she deserves, this has been ‘leaked’ to the press.

‘I am hopeful though for healing for all involved with the harsh words shared and more importantly I remain vigilant to protect Khai and give her the privacy she deserves.’

The tension between he and Yolanda allegedly began when he suspected her of leaking news of Gigi’s pregnancy to the media, according to an unnamed source cited by The Sun.

It compounded what the source described as an already tense relationship between the pair, who are ‘like chalk and cheese’.

‘They’ve never seen eye to eye. Zayn lives an almost hermit like existence, he likes quiet, solitude, a slow pace, working on music – the farm/rural life suits him and they’ve been living at the ranch for a while.

‘Gigi loves it too – she cooks for him every single day and even took up knitting, she also does crafts around the home and painted rooms herself.

‘But she also wants to go back to work – which means parties, events, red carpets, ad campaigns, Instagram – all the things that Zayn wants to avoid.

‘Yolanda has always been very supportive of and involved in Gigi’s career and is always saying Zayn should do more to support her – walk red carpets with her, post about her on IG, at one point she even suggested a reality show and he was horrified.
