Never fear Directioners, 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.

I figured it out
I figured it out from black and white
Seconds and hours
Maybe they had to take some time

I know how it goes
I know how it goes from wrong and right
Silence and sound
Did they ever hold each other tight like us?
Did they ever fight like us?

You and I, we don't wanna be like them
We can make it 'til the end
Nothing can come between you and I
Not even the gods above
Can separate the two of us
No, nothing can come between you and I

Oh, you and I

I figured it out
Saw the mistakes of up and down
Meet in the middle
There's always room for common ground

I see what it's like
I see what it's like for day and night
Never together
'Cause they see things in a different light like us
They never tried like us

You and I, we don't wanna be like them
We can make it 'til the end
Nothing can come between you and I
Not even the gods above
Can separate the two of us
(Two of us, two of us, two of us, two of us...)

'Cause you and I
We don't wanna be like them
We can make it 'til the end
Nothing can come between you and I
Not even the gods above
Can separate the two of us
No, nothing can come between you and I
You and I
Oh, you and I
Oh, you and I
We could make it if we try, you and I
Oh, you and I

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.”

Phew!
