50 Cent wants to make “a lot of money” with Zayn Malik.

The 39-year-old rapper is keen to tempt the former One Direction star away from his long-time mentor Simon Cowell with the promise that they could make millions together.

He told the Daily Mirror newspaper, “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, artistes and people in the genre.

“Some of the pop star rappers are a little cringe, and he doesn’t want that.”

Despite insisting he wanted to live like a ‘normal 22-year-old’ when he quit the band amid rumours he had cheated on his Little Mix star-fiancee Perrie Edwards earlier this year, Zayn is believed to have already begun working on solo material with close pal and producer Naughty Boy.

However, after a number of public spats between the La La La hitmaker and his former bandmate Louis Tomlinson, Zayn could be tempted to travel to the US to work with 50.
