Zayn Malik news updates these past few days centered around the former One Direction member's recent feud with Calvin Harris over Taylor Swift.

Zayn Malik and Calvin Harris' Twitter fight started with the ex-1D singer posting an image on Twitter.

"The image compares Swift, who withdrew her music from Spotify in protest over royalties, to Miley Cyrus, who set up a charitable foundation after saying she had made enough money," Telegraph reported in a previously published news report.

According to an insider, it seems that Zayn has been hot-headed these days, scaring off friends in the business.

"Zayn is walking around like a bear with a sore head, ready to poke fights with anyone, and he can't seem to make friends anywhere," a source close to the situation allegedly told Dish Nation.

"He now sees Calvin as an enemy and is reaching out to Rita to see if they can create some music together."

And now, Zayn Malik is allegedly thinking of finding a friend in a music artist who may still have bad blood against Calvin Harris - no other than his ex-girlfriend, Rita Ora.

"The added bonus of that is that Rita had an acrimonious split with Calvin and could be willing to deliver some snarky lines. The duet would certainly create headlines and get a message out to the world," the insider added.

Though there have been previous news that Zayn Malik would be collaborating with Taylor Swift's bestie, Selena Gomez, the source claimed that the project is highly unlikely to push through now.

"Selena and Zayn's duet is less likely after his attack on Calvin because her loyalties lie with Taylor."

Will Zayn Malik collaborate with Rita Ora for a song that he initially wanted to make with Selena Gomez? Fans will have to monitor more news about the former One Direction member to find out.
