The hashtag has caused a Twitter meltdown.
Despite the fact that Zayn Malik quit One Direction back in March and will feature on Naughty Boy’s upcoming album, it seems that fans are still hopeful that he will return to the chart-topping boy band.
The hashtag #WelcomeBackTo1DZayn has sent Twitter into meltdown this week and fans were in a tizzy wondering if the news was true or not.
The confused and angry fans were not too happy with the prank, with a number of Directioners expressing their disappointment on social media.
It’s not okay to make trends like this just bc you’re bored it’s like twisting the knife in the heart #WelcomeBackTo1DZayn
