Did Simon Cowell really drop former One Direction singer Zayn Malik from his Syco record label? That rumor got started this week, but it turns out that Malik’s music career is safe for the moment.
The U.K. tabloid The Sun claimed this week that Malik was dropped by Syco, since Cowell is loyal to the other One Direction members - Louis Tomlinson, Liam Payne, Niall Horan and Harry Styles.
“It’s a big move for Simon because Zayn could have a very successful solo career but his priority absolutely remains the band and this is a big statement on his part,” a source told the tabloid.
However, a Syco spokesman told Entertainment Weekly that Malik, 22, “is still with Syco.”
Malik quit the boy band in March, which was crushing news to 1D fans.However, the singer does plan to launch a solo career. He is reportedly making new music with producer Naughty Boy.
