Zayn Malik: I Was "Defending Myself" Against Louis Tomlinson

Former 1D star tries to justify THAT tweet to Louis as Directioners unfollow him on Twitter...

Zayn Malik has tried to explain his reasons for taking a swipe at former One Direction bandmate Louis Tomlinson on Twitter yesterday (May 6).

The drama unfolded after Louis and Malik’s new BFF Naughty Boy were involved in yet another spat on the social-networking site, with Zayn wading in on their row.

It all started after Louis made a dig at Naughty Boy over a selfie he posted of himself and Malik, and after they exchanged a series of heated tweets, Zayn hit back at Tomlinson - breaking millions of Directioners hearts.

He wrote: “@Louis_Tomlinson remember when you had a life and stopped making bitchy comments about mine?”

This sent 1D fans into a frenzy, with the pair soon trending on Twitter as many expressed their disappointment over Malik’s actions.

Many Directioners even unfollowed Zayn, with the 22-year old singer now returning to Twitter to justify his response - stating he was trying to “defend” himself.

Earlier today (May 7), Zayn tweeted: “Don't know why I'm being attacked for defending myself, people got it twisted!

“I love my fans ?! Every single one of you x.”

Tomlinson has since thanks fans for their support, writing: "Our fans support really has been a different class ! Huge love to you guys!!"

The rest of 1D are yet to comment on their spat.
