One Direction may have broken up 6 years ago, but its members are still very much making wave in the music industry – one of them being Zayn who notably was the first to leave the band 5 months prior to their split.

Back then, there were heavy rumours about him not getting along with the rest of the boys but there is certainly one band member he likes more than the rest…

In an interview with SiriusXM’s Volume, he was asked who in One Direction he believes is the second best in the group (besides himself, obviously) to which he replied “I’ll tell you what — Niall is my favourite.”

He even acknowledged that “Niall makes the best music” and that “he makes better music than me. I’m a Niall fan.”

Wow, that would be a loaded statement to debate on considering Harry has just won a Grammy but everyone has their own taste. We still stan the two former bandmates supporting one another!
