Did Zayn Malik Shade Harry Styles Over Ticket Prices?

Recently, Zayn Malik took the stage at Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas. During the show, he thanked fans for being there, saying, “You could’ve been anywhere, but you decided to spend your night with me. Hopefully the ticket prices weren’t too high. Just saying.”

In a TikTok video showing the moment, Malik’s comments are met with cheers from the audience. Although the singer didn’t mention his former One Direction bandmate Harry Styles by name, it’s safe to assume that the ticket remark was a dig at him.

Recently, Styles made headlines for the high price of tickets at his upcoming shows. According to TMZ, tickets to Styles’ shows at Wembley Stadium in the UK were going for as high as $642.76. Meanwhile, a VIP package for his New York City shows reportedly cost as much as $1,667.

The X account Pop Base posted the video of Zayn Malik’s Las Vegas concert moment on Thursday, inspiring over 130,000 likes and 12,000 reposts as of this writing. Fans seemed divided over the singer’s apparent dig at Harry Styles.

One X user wondered, “Why are they all always randomly fighting.” Another admitted, “That’s low but drag him.” However, another user criticized the remark, writing, “being shady towards harry while being a flop solo artist himself is crazy. i don’t even like harry but come on…”
