LAST NIGHT WHAT appears to be the first solo material from Zayn Malik since he left One Direction was released.

Producer Naughty Boy – who Zayn was known to be working with –  tweeted:

@NaughtyBoyMusic @NaughtyBoyMusic

The tweet contains a Soundcloud link to a demo of I Won’t Mind, with vocals by Zayn.

Naughty Boy also appears to be trying to make ‘Zaughty’ happen. We say no. No to Zaughty. The song isn’t the worst thing we’ve ever heard though. Lots of feelings and emotions and clutching at chests will be involved in the video, we imagine.

Naughty Boy also retweeted a link to a video with the message “Naughty Boy saved my life, Zaughty will rise”.

And that was enough to push Zayn’s former bandmate Louis Tomlinson over the edge.

He tackled Naughty Boy on Twitter:

And later clarified:

Naughty Boy has come in for a barrage of stick (and some support), and he appears to be revelling in it, and teasing that there’s a lot more to come…

Louis meanwhile…

Zayn, meanwhile, remains silent. Clever boy.
