Zayn is at it again! The ex-One Directioner seems to love stirring up a bit of trouble via social media. Yesterday was no different.
The UK native took a dig at country-pop star Taylor Swift on Twitter. He retweeted a photo that compared T-Swift and Miley Cyrus's thoughts concerning music and monetary gains. Taylor's quote touched on reasons she pulled all her music from the streaming music, Spotify, while Miley's read "I've made my money. If no one buys my album, cool. It's fine. I've got a house, and I've got dogs that I love. I don't need anything else."
Zayn has since deleted the retweet, however, nothing truly dies on the internet and the little bit of damage has been done.
Taylor's boyfriend, and world-class DJ, Calvin Harris, fired back at Malik in defense of "struggling artists" around the world, and probably Taylor Swift. Harris tweeted, "@FemaleTexts @ zaynmalik You've made your money? Cool...f**k the 99% of musicians who depend on these services to survive" and "If u don't get what it means when a successful artist uses their celebrity to benefit every other musician and songwriter in the industry..."
The initial tweet must have really touched a hot button with the Scottish music producer, as he seemed quite heated in the tweets that followed. He then tweeted, "While u kids are refresh voting teen choice awards there's some poor f**ker in a basement making your new favorite record trying to survive" and "Meaning...stay out of things you don't understand."
Zayn spat, "@CalvinHarris you just made an absolute fool of yourself mate ... you clearly didn't understand what I just said either" and "@CalvinHarris so i suggest you calm your knickers before them dentures fall out."
The solo-singer then followed with "Oh and I write my own s**t too d**khead."
Harris appeared to try and bury the hatchet by commenting, "all good, it was the quote not you personally mate" and "best of luck, genuinely. You've got a great voice."
Whoa! But the twitter row did not exactly stop there. "Anaconda " rapper and notorious queen of the subtweet , Nicki Minaj, had to weigh in just a little bit. The YMCMB emcee favorited a retweet of Zayn's "dickhead" comment.
Minaj may have gotten involved since she and the "Shake It Off" singer shared a charged Twitter moment a few weeks ago concerning Nicki's "Video of the Year" snub. Nicki tweeted "If your video celebrates women with very slim bodies, you will be nominated for vid of the year."
To which Taylor overtly replied to Nicki Minaj saying, "@NickiMinaj I've done nothing but love & support you. It's unlike you to pit women against each other. Maybe one of the men took your slot.."
Minaj was not having it. She tweeted, "Huh?.. Didn't say a word about u... @taylorswift13."
Yikes! Drake and Meek. Nicki and Taylor. Now Zayn and Calvin! Who will be next to exchange words over Twitter?
