Zayn Malik’s Newly Released Single Gets Deleted After One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson Slams Naughty Boy

Zayn Malik, who broke away from his hit band "One Direction" last week and his new producer, Naughty Boy, wasted no time in getting him back on track by releasing his first ever solo project, which was eventually taken down from the web less than 12 hours after it was posted.

The 22-year old's single "I Won't Mind's" release and removal came after Naughty Boy, whose real name is Shahid Khan and One Direction member Louis Tomlinson exchanged argumentative tweets.

The Twitter war started when the 30-year old producer tweeted a short video clip on Monday, which featured an unidentified voice singing the lyrics "Naughty Boy saved my life, Zaughty will rise," to the tune of the nursery rhyme, "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star."

23-year old Louis, who didn't seem amused at all, fired back at Naughty Boy and took to Twitter to express his disappointment. He wrote, "Wow Naughty Boy, you're so inconsiderate pal. . . Grow up!" And revealed that he has always struggled to keep his mouth shut.

While Naughty Boy didn't directly respond to Louis' tweet, he made an indirect reply, by uploading Zayn's single on SoundCloud and tweeting "Let the music do the talking guys. Thank us later. :)," which further heated the feud and upset the fans.

After the song, which Naughty Boy called a demo track, was deleted, Billboard uploaded a YouTube copy of the ballad, which the magazine claims had been recorded by Zayn over the weekend.

Within an hour of the song's posting, Naughty Boy again tweeted an image, with the words, "Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you or makes you happy," which many think is a reference to Zayn's departure from the band.

Just this Tuesday, Naughty Boy posted another tweet and explained that nobody is against anyone. He gave credit to the fans, whom he says made all of them. He finished his tweet by saying, "the love is alive. Hate just doesn't belong here."
