The Sun's article claimed that Zayn would be moved to another Sony label shortly, so Syco didn't deny anything with that statement. He is still with them. For now.
I think Syco figured Zayn is too difficult for them to handle, so they are handing him over to a bigger Sony label. I wouldn't say leaving Syco would be necessarily good for him. I remember how Alexandra Burke moved from Syco to RCA between the first and the second album. The first one was very successful, the second one flopped.

I thought it was confirmed that Simon only agreed to let him out of the 1D contract if he stayed with the label months ago. Or am I making that up? I think Syco figured Zayn is too difficult for them to handle, so they are handing him over to a bigger Sony label. Pretty sure Syco isn't going to want to ditch what would end up being one of their biggest cash cows, no matter the uh... "difficulty".

I think Syco figured Zayn is too difficult for them to handle, so they are handing him over to a bigger Sony label. Pretty sure Syco isn't going to want to ditch what would end up being one of their biggest cash cows, no matter the uh... "difficulty". Syco had first dibs on him when he went solo. There are rumors going around that Zayn was actually removed from One Direction because of his drug problem and that he is difficult. He dissed Naughty Boy just this past week on twitter ... You know, the guy that was supposed to produce his solo material. I don't think Zayn was ever guaranteed a success as a solo artist (One Direction boys are a force together, not as individuals.) and now it looks like Zayn isn't very easy to work with as a soloist. Syco is a small Sony label, they have a lot of artists to take care of. I could see them moving an artist to one of the bigger Sony labels.

I actually didn't know Syco was under the Sony umbrella. Even still, I've never heard of a label passing the buck when it comes to a difficult artist. They usually just tell them to f**k off or prevent them from releasing material (at least that I've known). Hell, Interscope held on to Azealia Banks' problematic ass for as long as they did before she basically forced them to let go of her. There are rumors going around no

www.billboard.com/articles/columns/pop-shop/6648307/zayn-malik-management-deal-iggy-azalea?utm_source=twitterZayn Malik Signs With Iggy Azalea's Manager Zayn Malik has reportedly inked a deal with Turn First Artists, where he'll be managed by Sarah Stennett, who has also guided the career of Iggy Azalea. Malik was previously part of the Modest! Management family as a member of One Direction, but turned to Turn First to help launch his solo career. A rep for Malik did not respond to Billboard's request for comment, but sources close to the situation confirmed the signing to Billboard. Stennett started Turn First as a management and branding company in 2011, with support from Universal Music Group chairman/CEO Lucian Grainge. In addition to Azalea, the London-based company also works with Ellie Goulding and Rita Ora. Earlier this month, it was confirmed that Malik is still a part of Simon Cowell's Syco Music roster, which will likely shepherd his solo material. One Direction is currently touring North America, and Malik recently tweeted at his "bro" Liam Payne on the group's five-year anniversary.

There were no aliens at Roswell. JFK only had one shooter. The Earth is really round. Elvis and Tupac are dead. There were no WMDs. The moon landing was real. Zayn is not coming back to One Direction.
I swear in 50-60 years when 1D and most of their fans are near the end of their life, some of these conspiracy theorists will go to their grave still swearing Zayn is coming back to the group (even if he's already dead himself). Let him go!

A homeless fashion rocker, a hottie gone obese, a soon-to-be asexual single father and a forever twink do not deserve the hot creature that The Zayn still is. Zayn solo was the mission from the very beginning anw.

Ugh at the record label he signed with. They've butchered all of their main releases this past year.

Zayn is not coming back to One Direction. At least three of these statements are fallacies and you can side eye me all you want for saying so, but never mind that. Let's discuss how badly we think RCA is going to fuck up this release. They haven't done shit right all year...will this continue or is Zayn the guy they've been secretly withholding all of their 2015 promotional funds for?
