Zayn Malik Just Named His Fandom and You're Either Going to Really Love It or REALLY Hate It (2024)

Every iconic pop star has their fandom name. Katy Perry dubbed her fans the Katy Cats, andthere's Ariana Grande's Arianators, Demi Lovato'sLovatics, Justin Bieber'sBeliebers, and Fifth Harmony's Harmonizers. And of course, One Direction's massive fanbase is called the Directioners.

When Zayn Malik left the band, Directioners were devastated, but overall, they supported Zayn's new solo aspirations. But now that his newalbum,Mind of Mine, is out and topping the charts,it's time for his solo fanbase to graduate and get a fandom name of their own.

Yesterday, Zayn finally addressed his fandomby their new, true name, and you're either going to love it, orreally hate it.

Zquad! Zquad? So Zayn's fans are just "squad" with a Z in front of it.

Some fans are so here for thename.

Whileothersthink it sounds kind of stupid.

Hopefully, the name will grow on fans who aren't crazy about it, because now that Zayn's using it to refer to the fans, it looks like it's here to stay.
