M.I.A has a lot of time for Zayn due to the pressure he is under

"Paper Planes" star M.I.A. has revealed that she's interested in how Zayn Malik is handling himself in the spotlight now that he's a solo artist because the pressure he's under must be intense.

She told Britain's Daily Star newspaper that she has a lot of time for him because he's experiencing something unusual and is staying true to himself:

"I like Zayn because he's going through something really weird. He's going solo in a time where the world is getting more and more divisive."

"The pressure on him is more and more, because of the fact that he's half-Pakistani, and he tweets s**t like #FreePalestine. He's gone from not talking about something, to having to carry all the pressures of somebody who embodies all these things. Even if he's not playing that card, we project all that s**t on to him." 

M.I.A. and Zayn have collaborated on a new song called "Freedun", which features on her new album "AIM".
