Relax, Zayn Malik Is NOT Leaving One Direction To Become A Rapper 

Zayn Malik is not about to be the next Kanye West just yet.

Hollywood Life had previously claimed that Zayn was planning to leave One Direction and embark on a solo career, much like bandmate Harry Styles.

A source told the website: “Zayn wants to go into rap and has been working Naughty Boy.

“The lads are already making plans after One Direction. Liam and Niall are hoping to work together on new projects.”

WUT. Life after 1D? Say it isn’t so? Thankfully, Gossip Cop investigated this rumour, with an insider pouring cold water on the speculation.

They explained that Malik and Styles are “both in the studio working on new material for the new One Direction album”, while Liam and Louis have teamed-up with Good Charlotte and Nickelback to work on songs for the same LP.

The website adds that 1D often “work separately and bring the songs to each other when deciding what’s going to be recorded for the album.”
