Louis Tomlinson took the opportunity to destroy a Naughty Boy piñata.
The feud between One Direction and Naughty Boy rages on.
Though the boys said it was all love at the time, Zayn Malik’s departure from One Direction has provided a lot of animosity – not towards their former bandmate – but people assisting in Malik’s solo ventures. Particularly producer Naughty Boy, who publicly flaunted his working relationship with Malik on social media and fired shots at the 1D boys. Let’s just say it caused a rift.
@Louis_Tomlinson remember when you had a life and stopped making bitchy comments about mine ?— zaynmalik (@zaynmalik) May 6, 2015
From there it was an embarrassing back-and-forth between Louis and Naughty Boy comparing their résumés and name-dropping Sam Smith that was just cringeworthy for everyone involved.
Then in June, Malik’s cover of Rae Sremmurd’s “No Type” mysteriously leaked, and many pointed the finger at Naughty Boy, who adamantly denied any involvement.
Lol @NaughtyBoyMusic tell the truth shah. We recorded them bars in ur studio months ago. .. Bout 'stolen hard drive' https://t.co/b679FlFnhC— MIC (@MicRighteous) June 15, 2015
Regardless of how it got leaked, Malik wasn’t having any of it. He called out Naughty Boy on Twitter calling him a “fat joke” and a “faker.” We imagine their collaborations are scrapped.
@NaughtyBoyMusic you fat joke stop pretending we're friends no one knows you .— zaynmalik (@zaynmalik) July 13, 2015
Someone learned how to upload a video… maybe now he should learn how to use logic ha you ain't shit but a faker— zaynmalik (@zaynmalik) July 13, 2015
Now, things took a turn for the worse when a fan threw a piñata of a monkey with Naughty Boy’s attached on stage at One Direction’s Kansas City show on Tuesday, resulting in Louis Tomlinson aggressively stomping on it and kicking it back to the audience.
