Liam Payne has reportedly been dropped by his management firm KIN over fears he is "spiralling".
The 28 year old, who recently gave some rare insight into co-parenting his son Bear with ex Cheryl, signed with the company after going solo from One Direction back in 2016.
However, now The Sun has claimed they've parted ways amid concerns over the singer's partying lifestyle.
A source told the publication: “There are concerns right now for Liam because he isn’t committed to anything and is spiralling a bit. His management were at the end of their tether and said enough is enough."
The insider went on to claim that his management couldn't think of any other way to "help" Liam and added that it's been difficult for him to see his former bandmate 27 year old Harry Styles' career skyrocket.
They continued: “They didn’t know what else they could do to help him. It is hard for him seeing his bandmate Harry Styles having acclaim across the globe but the truth is that Liam has let himself go and is feeling lost.
“Everyone wants to see him succeed but he’s not in a good place right now.”
OK! Online has approached both Liam and management firm KIN for further comment.
Liam made his debut as a singer back in 2008 by auditioning for The X Factor but was eliminated from the competition. He then auditioned again two years later and was put into a group with four other contestants, forming One Direction.
The group, which was comprised of Liam, Harry, Louis Tomlinson, 29, and Niall Horan, 28, became one of the bestselling bands of all time.

Liam went solo in 2016 and released his debut single Strip That Down a year later, which reached No 3 in the UK singles charts. However, his album LP1 didn't do quite as well as it only reached No 17 back in 2019.
In June this year, Liam spoke to Steven Barlett on the Diary of a CEO podcast, where he shared he had "moments of suicidal ideation" while in the band.
Liam, who recently reportedly got back together with Maya Henry, said: “There were a few pictures of me on a boat and I was all bloated out and I call it my pills-and-booze face.

“My face was 10 times bigger than it is now. The problem was, the best way to secure us was to lock us in our rooms, and what is in the room? A mini-bar."
He added: “So I had a party-for-one that seemed to carry on for years. It was wild but the only way you could get frustration out.”
