Zayn Malik tells Louis Tomlinson: 'Remember when you had a life?'

Naughty Boy, Zayn Malik and One Direction's Louis Tomlinson spent this afternoon having a few (very public) words on Twitter.

The series of awkward tweets began when Naughty Boy shared a photograph of himself posing with Zayn Malik in the studio (pictured left). Louis Tomlinson took to his official Twitter page and referenced the photo, writing: "Remember when you were 12 and you used to think those Mac filters for your pictures were cool haha ! Some people still do HA!"

Upon seeing the subtweet, Naughty Boy then sent a direct public message to Tomlinson and made a remark about his vocal ability: "@Louis_Tomlinson and some people can't even sing.. but who's complaining when there's auto tune eh."

Tomlinson hit back and replied: @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? 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!"

Zayn Malik then got involved and tweeted the following message to former 1D band member Louis Tomlinson: "@Louis_Tomlinson remember when you had a life and stopped making bitchy comments about mine?"
