Music / Chopped Or NotMusic / Chopped Or NotWatch: beabadoobee on AI slop, the Gen Z stare and Zayn MalikFor our new Chopped Or Not video series, the indie musician runs through some of the things she loves and hatesShareLink copied ✔️March 4, 2026March 4, 2026TextHalima Jibril During her Dazed covershoot, we asked our new coverstar, beabadoobee, some hard-hitting questions for our new Chopped Or Not series. One of them: “Do you still have love for Zayn Malik?” (the indie-rock singer once ran a Malik stan account). She pauses for a second, then answers with confidence: “Yeah, fuck yeah! I love everyone I used to have love for… kind of.” Other than Zayn Malik, the musician feels passionately about a lot of things, especially being cringe: “Being cringe is not chopped!”, the musician exclaims in the video. “Let’s embrace the cringe. A lot of good art comes from being fucking cringe. I’ve had so many cringe moments in my life, I’ve literally pissed myself in public. Who cares?” If you want to learn more about her thoughts on situationships, lookmaxxing and being chronically online – watch the full video above and read our interview with her here.
