“What I saw was he was the kind of person that wants people to worship him. He needs to be worshiped and I don’t do that," he added.

The 435-pages long book talks about his relationship with his half-brother whom he met in 1985. The book details about his good days with Barack Obama while he was in the White House followed by a falling out over a foundation that they had established in memory of their father.

"She wanted him to look out for her, build her a house, etc. I told him he owed it to her, to the family for him to do anything, something.” Barack claimed to be broke and refused to help, Malik claimed.

He also alleged that Barack paid only $5,000 when Malik asked for $20,000 to bring back his deceased aunt's body back to Kenya.

Malik is now an ardent supporter of the current US President Donald Trump. “110 percent still with Trump. He’s not fake. He tells us the way he sees it. He’s bold and fearless and he’s tough," he told a media house. Malik has been urging people to vote for Trump in the upcoming Presidential elections in November. 

“I don’t think he’s going to make it. His teeth are falling off. He looks like he’s going to drop dead,” he said when asked about Trump's competitor Joe Biden. Malik supported Trump over Hillary Clinton in the 2016 Presidential elections too.
