Fans of One Direction and former 1D member Zayn Malik are emotionally distraught once again!

Zayn Malik Is In New York Recording With MYKL, Jay Sean & L.A. Reid?

Back on March 25, the falsetto slayer released a statement through the band's Facebook page, in which he revealed he wanted "to be a normal 22-year-old who is able to relax and have some private time out of the spotlight."

That is not actually true though since Malik has been in and out of recording studios with a variety of people in the music industry, including his former friend, producer Naughty Boy and more recently it appears as though he was with Jay Sean, MYKL and Epic Record's CEO L.A. Reid.

How Are The Remaining Members Of One Direction Coping Without Zayn Malik?

In a recent interview with The Sun, Simon Cowell revealed Malik would stay within the Sony family for a solo deal, which is definitely the case. The former 1D member announced on his Twitter Wednesday that he is officially a RCA Records recording artist.

"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!" he declared while hash tagging "#realmusic" and "#RCA".

Malik then revealed a photo of himself signing his contract while sporting a huge grin.

He took it one step further by hash tagging "#REALME," which seemed to really rile fans even more than his "#realmusic" hashtag since many feel as though he is dissing One Direction even though that's what gave him his start.

Malik could have perhaps worded his tweets a bit better to avoid the backlash, but he did retweet a fan that is totally supportive of what he meant.

Malik is now part of the label that is home to Justin Timberlake, Tinashe and a bunch of other great artists spanning the pop, R&B and hip-hop genres.
