Yep, the 'Candy Shop' rap star has spoken out once again about how he wants to help he former One Direction star become a bonafide rapping solo superstar. Errr… what are you waiting for Zayn?
50 Cent told The Mirror, "I want it to happen. I can make him a lot of money and he can make me a lot of money. The point I am making is he needs to be working with the right producers, artists, and people in the genre. Some of the pop star rappers are a little cringe, and he doesn’t want that.”
The 'In Da Club' star also claims that they have set up a business meeting for July to discuss Zayn potentially cutting ties with Simon Cowell and being mentored by 50 Cent who can put him in touch with some of the best rappers in the game.

"I'd happily sign him up to my label, mentor him and have him working with the biggest rappers on the planet," he explained.
