Liam Payne has responded to Boy George after the legendary singer accused the One Direction star of failing to take a photo with his niece.

The Culture Club man took to Twitter after attending the BRIT Awards in London last night (February 20) with his family member to criticise Payne, saying:

"Top marks to Harry Styles for stopping for a picture with my niece and Bollox's to Liam and the disrespectful w*nker of a minder!"

Payne has now taken to his own Twitter account to lay into George and refute his claims. The One Direction star said:

"Now now boy lets not tell porkies firstly thanks for getting my name wrong three times secondly then asking me where is liam?...akward then when you finally got it right saying you wanted Niall instead. if you would have asked me for a picture i would have stopped bro I just did what you said and pointed niall out for you so u just keep wearing ur strange hats and enjoy yourself my little Georgie pie...It's still not cool you just look wierd (sic)"

Bandmate Louis Tomlinson soon after posted in the conversation: "Hahahhaha this is so funny!"
