Zayn Malik has blasted Louis Tomlinson for making "bitchy comments" about his life.
The former One Direction star, who dramatically quit the British boy band in March, lashed out at his former bandmate on Twitter after the Story of My Life hitmaker got into another heated argument with music producer Naughty Boy, who is helping Malik record his first solo music.
Defending his friend, Zayn tweeted:
The spat between the long-time pals, who previously insisted they would remain close despite Malik leaving the band, erupted after Tomlinson mocked a picture filter Naughty Boy - whose real name is Shahid Khan - used on an image of him and Zayn in the recording studio.
