Cher Lloyd calls Lorde a "knob" for dissing Selena Gomez

Cher Lloyd has branded Lorde a "knob" for questioning Selena Gomez.

The 16-year-old New Zealand singer - who hit No.1 in the States with her track 'Royals' - recently criticised Gomez's 'Come & Get It' for its apparently suggestive lyrics.

This has irked former X Factor contesant Lloyd, who told J-14 that Lorde had no right to blast Gomez. She said:

"No way! Why does she have to go do that? She’s doing so well - what a knob. Why would she do that? She’s sitting at number one."

Lloyd added: "I think she’s going to eat her words, which she obviously already has, and I think for someone who’s gaining so much success so early, she should be considering herself lucky, it takes a lot of work. You know what though? If she said something about me, it’d be a different story. I wouldn’t stand for any of that, I’d be straight back on it."

Gomez had previously responded to Lorde's jibe, saying: "I appreciate everybody’s opinion, especially because I’ve covered her music lots of times. I think she is super talented and I think it’s awesome. But I think at the same time that feminism and that specific thing is very sensitive because in my opinion it’s not feminism if you’re tearing down another artist. So that’s the only thing that I feel but you know, she’s young, she’s got so much talent, she’s gonna take over, she gets it, so I don’t take it to heart."
