Rap sensation 50 Cent has revealed that he would like to meet up with former One Direction member Zayn Malik because he thinks he is "hot". 

The 'In Da Club' superstar told The Daily Beast that he thinks the singer has a lot of potential and expects him to have a fantastic career: "He's hot. Zayn's hot. I haven't met with him yet, but I like the idea. He is hot, man. He's no joke."

Back in March before Malik had actually quit 1D, Fiddy admitted to The Sun newspaper that he would happily sign Malik to his label and work as his mentor:

"If Zayn wants a rap career, just because of who he is, he is going to sell records. But if he wants to be credible he has to be with the right people. I'd happily sign him up to my label, mentor him and have him working with the biggest rappers on the planet."
