This week on BuzzFeed podcast See Something Say Something, I bring on BuzzFeed News editor Sara Yasin to talk about Muslim sex symbol and pop icon, Zayn Malik.
Joining us are Twitter badass Farwa Zaidi and writer/Zayn Malik scholar Fariha Róisìn.
1. To celebrate the episode, let's count down the best Zayn moments in history, starting with that time he gave us this LOOK.
2. That time Zayn and Gigi Hadid, brown power couple, smoldered in the Pillow Talk video. 🇵🇸🇵🇰
3. That time he was cheeky, but also a good desi boy.
4. That time he broke a 3-month olds heart.
I asked my three month old niece if she's sad that zayn malik is way too old for her and she cried for ten minutes straight
5. That time he put an Urdu song on his album.
Listen to @fariharoisin @farwzz @radbrowndads and @missyasin talk about how much @zaynmalik's Urdu song, Intermissi… https://t.co/RkGNrIQ4jA
6. That time when Zayn and I totally met and made a song together, documented on this t-shirt.
Definitely not photoshopped by Sara. Nope.
7. That time Fariha's scholarly study of Zayn paid off 'cause he knew who she was (probably).
GUYZ ZAYN KNOWS MY NAME MAYBE? here's the interview: https://t.co/yhiKydGR6x
8. That time he gave salaams (look at that baby face!).
9. That time he was a new kind of icon after years of shit like Aladdin.
This week on @seesomething podcast, we talk about Zayn Malik, discuss Muslim pop iconhood, and deconstruct it.… https://t.co/VHjKSd9qYs
10. That time he wished Eid Mubarak to his fans and family.
Eid Mubarak, thankyou to everyone who wished me a happy eid. Love you all :) x
11. That time he gave us THIS OTHER LOOK.
That time the podcast introduced a brand new segment: MUSLIM MEMES (this doesn't have anything to do with Zayn's history tbh).
