Naughty Boy Reveals The Truth About The Deleted Zayn Malik Demo

Zayn Malik fans were whipped into a frenzy on Tuesday, when producer Naughty Boyappeared to share a snippet on Zayn’s upcoming solo material online.

“They aren't furiously working on his solo material or anything, there aren't plans for anything and this wasn't recorded in the last few days.

“They are very good friends and Zayn is taking time out including visiting Naughty Boy at his studio and hanging out.”

Since quitting 1D, Zayn hasn’t exactly been keeping a low profile, and his trips to the recording studio haven't gone unnoticed.

His former bandmate Louis Tomlinson took to Twitter when the demo was released, criticising Naughty Boy, real name Shahid Khan, for “winding up” fans.

Zayn’s fiancée Perrie Edwards has been keeping a low profile since his decision to leave the band was announced, and on Tuesday afternoon she was spotted enjoying a shopping trip with Zayn’s mum and sisters.
