Social media users were not happy after the singer made a controversial statement about the education activist and Nobel laureate Malala Yousafzai. Soon after Twitter users demanded that Khalid apologize, pointing out that Malala had made more efforts to speak up on the rights of Pakistani women than Khalid had ever done.
Twitterati were prompt to slam the singer posting comments in defense of Malala.

Many found it ironic that Khalid is going after Yousafzai for living in the UK, when she herself lives in the UK as well.
