A beef quickly escalated between One Direction‘s Louis Tomlinson and UK producer Naughty Boy after the latter posted several messages that seemed to point at Zayn Malik’s exit. He also shared a demo recorded by the former 1D member called “I Won’t Mind.”
Tomlinson took to social media after with a direct message for the music producer.
Wow @NaughtyBoyMusic you’re so inconsiderate pal , seriously how fucking old are you ? Grow up ! #masterofallwisdom

Naughty Boy shot back at Tomlinson and from there the twosome found themselves in a very public war of words.
@NaughtyBoyMusic I was talking about the video you tweeted . Clearly trying to wind the fans up ! Well you succeeded anyway . Fair play

After the exchange, Naughty Boy had another message.
no one is against anyone here. the fans made all of us. not just a chosen few. the love is alive. hate just doesn’t belong there.

While the remaining 1D members hadn’t tweeted anything as of press time, Tomlinson tried to bring the attention back to the fans.
