Justin Bieber is apparently a big fan of Zayn Malik's music. Rumor has it, the two idols are forming a kind of friendship after Justin retweeted a link to Zayn's newest single off his upcoming album featuring PARTYNEXTDOOR, "Still Got Time". The two allegedly have been in touch to plan a collaboration for a new track together.

Selena Gomez's ex reportedly admired the "Pillowtalk" crooner's music after he left One Direction. A source told The Sun, "Justin has been really complimentary of Zayn's new music and there have been tentative discussions about them working on something together." It is also rumored that they have been forming a friendship almost instantly. "They are in touch and chatting about all sorts and getting on like a house on fire. Justin even retweeted a link to Zayn's single on his Twitter which he doesn't just do for anyone," the source added.

"It would be a huge collaboration if it happened so watch this space," the source said. Both Justin and Zayn are two of today's biggest pop stars and it would be a huge collab indeed if they decide to hit studio together and join forces in new music.

The news of their friendship totally surprised their fans as Zayn was dragged into a social media feud between Justin and his ex, Selena Gomez, back in 2016. The former couple fought on Instagram after the "Baby" hitmaker threatened to turn his account private because fans kept trolling his new girlfriend, Sofia Richie.

In response to Justin's threatening message to his fans, Selena commented, "If you can't handle the hate then stop posting pictures of your girlfriend lol -it should be special between you two only. Don't be mad at your fans. They love you. They were there for you before anyone." Unfortunately, Justin replied to his ex with a low blow. He accused her of cheating on him with Zayn.
