What I found interesting about The Guardian interview is that Zara mentions a former boyfriend who sounds like a right d**k as he seemed to be constantly trying undermine her, but she says that he was also an artist and I was wondering if anyone knows who it could be?

"One of the main changes was the decision to move away from certain social circles, including an ex-boyfriend. We met when I was 14, and we were back and forth for way too long. At the start of 2016, I had this really successful stretch of my career – I was on David Guetta’s Euros song This One’s for You, and I released my track Lush Life. But, despite how well my career was going, I never felt like I was the main character in my life – I was just the side character in his. I was drawn into his world, hanging out with only his friends. He was also an artist, and it seemed his only passion after we broke up was to do better than me. It felt like he could not be pleased for any of my accomplishments, and he would say things like: “I want to make more money than you and I’m going to be more successful.” Since then, I’ve definitely learned to surround myself with people who are truly happy for me."
