Zayn Malik pledges to reveal ‘real me’ after record deal

The 55-year-old music mogul previously managed the singer under his Syco label when he was part of One Direction.

After Zayn confirmed on Wednesday that he had signed a deal with RCA Records, Simon was quick to show that there were no hard feelings between the pair.

Zayn, 22, popped into top club Warwick with a group of pals, just hours after telling his Twitter followers of his exciting news.

But the 1D fans can still remain hopeful…

“Is this zayn’s moment he’s taking off his hannah montana wig and now he’s miley cyrus (sic)”, to which he replied “that’s so amusing!” with a laughing emoji.

Malik’s explanation is sure to stir the ire of some One Direction fans considering he did offer up a very different reason for his departure when it happened in March.

‘Since leaving the band, Zayn has changed management and lawyers so it would kind of make sense for him to work with a new label team’. “I’m extremely excited to hear it”, said one fan. The short tweet is a message to let everyone know the singer is ready to show his true self to the world now that he’s a solo artist.

While Louis continued his Twitter sabbatical since the news broke, Harry and Niall reached out to their fans to thank them for their support.

The producer also retweeted a blurry, cryptic pic Zayn tweeted inside a recording studio, further fueling collaboration rumors.
