From Zayn Malik's subtle diss at One Direction when he signed his record deal to Simon Cowell sending his congratulations, Harry Styles has every right to be pissed.
A Vine video clip from 1D is Love 1D is Life account showed Harry Styles apparently getting irritated at the mention of Zayn Malik's name.
The caption reads, "the boy that taught them how to whip said "zayn isn't here" & harry told him "don't remind us!" & "that's the last time i whip & nae nae."
"The fact that Zayn Malik quit One Direction to 'be a normal 23-year-old' and now, he just signed with RCA records to put out a solo album must REALLY bother the other boys of 1D! Actually, a fan captured a backstage video on July 28 where you can clearly hear Harry Styles, 21, complaining about Zayn," said Hollywood Life.
And One Direction knows just how to respond with Zayn Malik signing a solo deal by dropping a new track of their own called "Drag Me Down," which could also be a dig at their former band member.
"In the official release announcing the new single, the song 'showcases a more mature One Direction sound.' Nothing says 'mature' like a song title that some may consider a diss track," commented Entertainment Tonighthttps://www.etonline.com/music/169074_one_direction_drops_surprise_single_one_day_after_zayn_malik_new_record_deal/.
Zayn Malik on Twitter announced that he's signing a record deal with RCA and also threw some shade on One Direction. "I guess I never explained why I left , it was for this moment to be given the opportunity to show you who i really am! #realmusic #RCA !!"
One fan wrote, "nah u lied and said u wanted a break from the spotlight."
Another said, "boy congrats u deserve it but you sing really bad in solo, that's why simon put you in the band. i hope you get sucess in ur life."
But Simon Cowell seemed happy that Zayn Malik has signed a record deal with RCA.
In a series of tweets, the music producer said, "We have been working on this for a while and I am pleased to say congratulations to @Zaynmalik on signing with @RCARecords. I believe they are the perfect label for @ZaynMalik's solo career and I am sure whatever they release together will be special."
