Zayn Malik Doesn't Speak to One Direction Anymore (Except Liam Payne)
Drama is usually bound to happen with boy bands after one member breaks away, and the cat claws of One Direction continue to be sharpened ever since Zayn Malik left the group. In an interview with NME, the solo artist commented on his distant relationship with his former bandmates for the umpteenth time (as if there isn't anything else he could discuss, like his new album perhaps?).
"I tried to have contact but nobody's reached out. So...whatever," Malik said. He seems to be over his boy band past, yet he does keep in contact with 1D's Liam Payne. He tells the magazine,
"I'm still probably the closest to Liam. We talk on the phone. He congratulated me on my single, which was nice. I congratulated him on his Brit Award [the group collected the British Video Award for 'Drag Me Down']. It was a good chat. We haven't met up in a long time so we want to meet up."
