Tyler, the Creator approached Malik on Twitter over the weekend about working together:"Hi @zaynmalik, I have beautiful instrumentals and you have a voice lets figure this out my guy. Epic album cuts tho no radio singles".

Zayn Malik who left One Direction in March to focus on "making real music" is signed with RCA and replied to the rapper this morning on Twitter saying:"@fucktyler sounds sick BRO let do some shit!

This news of a possible collaboration comes after Noel Gallagher labelling Malik as a "fucking idiot" for leaving One Direction.
