When Zayn Malik left One Direction in March, the band issued a statement saying Zayn and the remaining members would “always be friends.”
But the reality may not be quite as peachy.
Zayn and 1D’s Louis Tomlinson have been exchanging words on Twitter today after producer and songwriter Naughty Boy tweeted a photo of him and Zayn together at a recording studio.
The duo has been working together and apparently the photo, which featured a filter that made it look like it was taken with Apple’s Photobooth, struck a chord with Louis.
“Remember when you were 12 and you used to think those Mac filters for your pictures were cool haha! Some people still do HA!” he tweeted in response.
Zayn wasn’t impressed: “remember when you had a life and stopped making bitchy comments about mine?”
Directioners seemed to be quite distraught by the spat, some urging the pair to remember when they used to be like brothers and other expressing shock and outrage.
A riled up Naughty Boy also fired back at Louis – check out the tweets below.
