Zayn Malik, ex-member of the phenomenal British boy band One Direction has come to the media's attention again. This time around, the hype was about his awful public squabble with record producer Naughty Boy and an impending reunion with his former bandmates?
In an unexpected twist of events, Malik, 22, expelled Naughty Boy, 30, from his life and has decided to reach out for encouragement to Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson, collectively known as One Direction.
Hollywood Life has learned that Zayn and the boys haven't communicated much since he left the band abruptly while doing their "On The Road Again" tour. Now that he cut his ties with Naughty Boy, it finally dawned on him on who gives his interests more importance. A source detailed, "Zayn has spoken to Louis Tomlinson, 23, and the 1D boys in the past few weeks after realizing more and more that Naughty Boy was only out for himself."
Malik has received negative comments from Directioners and netizens alike ever since he made a sudden decision to quit One Direction and jumped over to Naughty Boy. He even exchanged strong words on Twitter with his best friend Louis Tomlinson.
The source further added, "Zayn actually apologized to Louis for all the crap that went down. Zayn wanted to reach out and make sure they all knew he was still their brother."
Meanwhile, Naughty Boy has finally reacted to Malik's issues about him by posting on Twitter a throwback picture of himself when he was a young boy with the "la la la" from his song of the same title. Although it's not directly referring to Malik's comment, but he placed the hashtag "#turningupthevolume," meaning he's not paying attention to all the drama, as per J-14.

On the other hand, if things don't turn up well for Zayn and One Direction, rival group The Vamps, are open to him joining their group.
According to Mirror, lead vocalist Bradley Simpson admitted, "He can join us if he wants."
Unfortunately, "He'd have to do backing vocals or something like that because we already have a lead singer," related guitarist James McVey.
Ouch!
Well, whatever the outcome of Zayn Malik's predicament, fans are hoping he will be able to find his "direction."
