"He warned him that won't do him any favors long-term," the source added.
Jenner, who is the younger sister of famed reality TV star Kim Kardashian, is featured on the hit reality TV show "Keeping Up With The Kardashians." Friends of Styles reportedly fear that the model's mother Kris Jenner, who is renowned for her ambitious money-making tactics, could ultimately jeopardize his successful music career by pressuring him into business ventures with her daughter.
"Kris will push them to do joint business ventures. She'll make sure she benefits off them," another source said.
"People who date the Kardashians end up cursed," another insider revealed. "Harry is loved by people around the world and his friends don't want Kris to sink her teeth into him."
Showbiz critics believe that anyone who dates a Kardashian-Jenner is it risk of falling victim to what has been dubbed the "Kardashian curse," whereby one's career suffers after getting involved with the fame-hungry family, according to the HuffingtonPost. Fans have pointed out the likes of Reggie Bush, Kris Humphries and Lamar Odom whose careers declined in one way or another after they began dating members of the E! star family.
Reports claim Jenner's mother is pushing for the British pop star to be featured on the family's reality TV show in order to boost ratings.
"Kris has always seen her children's relationships as business opportunities, so she wants him on the show," an insider told Grazia magazine. "She insisted Kendall talk to him about it and has also made inroads, explaining what a great opportunity it would be for him."
