Shocked. Hurt. Disappointed. These are only a few of the emotions that Directioners felt when they learned that Zayn released a solo song not even a week after quitting One Direction — he’s lost over 50k Twitter since the song dropped!

English musician Naughty Boy, 30, posted a demo with Zayn Malik, 22, to SoundCloud on March 30 and hearts broke all over the world. Confused fans are now questioning the real reason behind Zayn’s sudden departure from One Direction —  fans eventually started to post their angry tweets!

The main question on everyone’s mind is, why would you release solo music so soon if you quit One Direction for a break from the spotlight, Zayn?
