One Direction's Harry Styles has reportedly signed an $80 million solo record deal - and let's just say some 'Directioners' ain't happy.
The 22-year-old has teamed-up with Columbia Records - the same label that released all five of 1D's hit albums - for a three-album deal.
The terms of the deal are as yet unknown, and there is currently no timeline for when new material from Styles will be released.
Fans were quick to get the hashtag #CongratulationsHarry trending on Twitter, with many expressing their concerns that Harry's solo material might prevent One Direction from reuniting in the near future.

Styles has been kept busy with his budding acting career, after landing a role in Christopher Nolan's Dunkirk, a World War II drama about the evacuation of Allied troops from French beaches in 1940.
Has Harry Styles tuned his back on 1D for good?
Since One Direction went on hiatus earlier this year, Niall Horan, Louis Tomlinson and Liam Payne, have also been working on their own projects.
Payne, who is now dating former X Factor judge Cheryl Fernandez-Versini has been writing music, while Tomlinson is working on his record label and has since become a dad.
Mullingar man Horan has been working on his golf management agency and was recently named as an ambassador for the 2016 Ryder Cup golf tournament.
He is also reportedly eyeing up a solo career with Simon Cowell's label Syco and One Direction's management company, Modest.
