Sugarscape\'s Hottest Male Human 2015: THE RESULTS

Yesterday, Zayn Malik managed to give the internet a minor heart attack when a mega attractive Billboard magazine photoshoot, and an eye-poppingly honest interview to match seemed to appear from THIN AIR.

After approximately 0.4 seconds, #ZaynOnBillboard was trending number one worldwide with both One Direction fans and Zayn stans speaking out on some of the controversial comments that he\'d made during the chat.

And errr, it\'s fair to say that it was basically the fandom equivalent of World War III.

QUIZ: Which GIF from One Direction\'s \'Kiss You\'...

Thanks to Zayn opening up properly for the first time about his reasons for leaving the band, as well as the SHOCK confession that he hadn\'t actually heard Made In The AM yet, One Direction fans were left less than impressed.

But on the flip side, his honesty about finally being happy with his career, and the news that his phonecalls have supposedly been ignored by the other boys, meant that Team Zayn were proudly loving life in Z016.

ANYWAY, if you haven\'t decided where you stand on all of this yet, here\'s some of the best reactions we found from fans on Twitter to help you choose your alliance wisely.

A lot of fans were proud that he\'d actually been honest about things.

don\'t ask for zayn to be honest if you can\'t handle it, the truth hurts sometimes #ZaynOnBillboard

And mostly people were just excited about the incoming solo slay.

Can\'t hear your hate over the sound of is inevitably massively successful solo album.

This year belongs to Zayn and irrelevant opinions won\'t be listened cuz the sound of Zayn\'s album will be to loud :) #ZaynOnBillboard

It was an emotional experience for Zayn stans who felt like he was finally being real.

zayn\'s finally going to express who he really is instead of being controlled over what to say or do #ZaynOnBillboard pic.twitter.com/nSBWtZhkdP

The interview made it seem like Zeehhhnn was finally happy, which has gotta be a  good thing.

Zayn: i lost weight, i was unhappy, we were overworked, the boys ignored me, im happier now, i love life

zayn at the people who is mad at him for telling the truth #ZaynOnBillboard pic.twitter.com/aDbDyVkMv8

Directioners: "say that again shady traitor!"

But honestly, people were mostly just here for the photoshoot.

Even if the classic fetus/Z016 comparisons did get us feeling all the feels.

But not everyone was quite so happy about his controversial comments.

Like honestly, who doesn\'t like \'Perfect\'? Everyone likes \'Perfect\'.

There seemed to be more shade being chucked around than your average beach parasol.

Really do love Zayn, but tired of seeing him STILL throwing shade at the boys\' music, don\'t forget what launched your career

And loads of people were annoyed by him saying that certain things weren\'t \'cool\'.

I\'m actually disappointed in some of the things Zayn said in the article. It makes him look like he\'s in it for the image not the music

I don\'t know if I hate zayn or love him right now

— Ruth // NIALL PLS (@pop_ruth) January 7, 2016

And for some, it only made sense to stan with One Direction instead.

I hate that Zayn said they don\'t talk to him cause they have pride issues. He left in the middle of a tour. What did he expect them to do?-E

But in general, everyone seemed to be supporting both Zayn and the 1D boys.

Just because you\'ve been supporting 5 throughout the years doesn\'t mean that u can\'t support 4+1

Because the article still contained a couple of magical quotes like this.

Bandmate Liam Payne “would always give me credit in terms of vocal ability,” says Malik modestly.

And after five years, we should probably be able to handle a bit of drama by now.

At least we can all connect spiritually with this one.

Why does the 1d drama perpetually feel like my parents are going through a difficult divorce #ZaynOnBillboard

The end. CHRIST, and there we were thinking that this whole hiatus thing would mean a break from the dramatic Twitter explosions. How naive we were.

Thoughts on this whole head to head battle between 1D stans and Zayn stans? Let us know with a tweet to @Sugarscape.
