So, maybe there were some hard feelings when Zayn Malik left One Direction. Today, Zayn and former band mate, Louis Tomlinson, exchanged a few testy tweets on twitter. OH THE SHADE.
First, producer Naughty Boy posted a photo of himself with Zayn:

It was followed up by this totally snarky sub-tweet from 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!
— Louis Tomlinson (@Louis_Tomlinson) May 6, 2015
And then Zayn responded DIRECTLY to Louis. BUUUUUURRRRRRN:
@Louis_Tomlinson remember when you had a life and stopped making bitchy comments about mine ?

And then Louis and Naughty boy went at it for a bit:
@NaughtyBoyMusic Jesus forgot you were such an in demand producer …. How does it feel to be riding on the back of someone else's career ?
— Louis Tomlinson (@Louis_Tomlinson) May 6, 2015
@Louis_Tomlinson Yeah how does it feel mate? You've been doing that for the last five years… I've got Emeli Sande and Sam smith on my CV ????
— Naughty Boy (@NaughtyBoyMusic) May 6, 2015
@NaughtyBoyMusic good for you , well done !! I think we've done alright in terms of sales and I've happened to write on most. Keep trying !

FIGHT FIGHT FIGHT! I want some bitch slapping and hair pulling ya’ll. To be honest, as twitter battles go, this one is pretty tame. The startling thing is how the two former bandmates had a go at each other in public. Was Louis holding back resentment that finally reached a breaking point with Naughty Boy’s tweet?
You may remember, Louis going after Naughty boy shortly after Zayn left the group. When NB posted a series of braggy tweets about working with Zayn in the studio, Louis advised him to “grow up.”
I wonder what Simon Cowell is thinking? He’s probably delighted. He’s a fan of controversy, and if it goes viral, all the better.
