Yesterday Zayn Malik added Harris to the list of musicians he's had a spat with over social media
Malik retweeted the stances of Miley Cyrus ("I've made my money. If no one buys my album, cool. It's fine") and Taylor Swift ("I think there should be an inherent value placed on art") with the caption "The difference is astounding" Harris seemed to take this tweet as a dig at Taylor Swift's stance on streaming and replied to Malik: "You've made your money? Cool...fuck the 99% of musicians who depend on these services to survive right? Yeah fuck em" The DJ later added ""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... stay out my fuckin mentions pls... While u kids are refresh voting teen choice awards there's some poor fucker in a basement making your new favorite record trying to survive Meaning... stay out of things you don't understand".
Malik later responded to Harris's tweet with ""ha you just made an absolute fool of yourself mate... you clearly didn't understand what I just said either... so i suggest you calm your knickers before them dentures fall out... Oh and I write my own shit too dickhead".
Later Louis Tomlinson and Niki Minaj favourited Harris' tweet subtly showing whose side they were on in this war of words. Harris seemed to backtrack from his position against Malik later adding"All good, it was the quote not you personally mate," Harris later wrote. "Best of luck, genuinely. You've got a great voice".
Just another Twitter feud in the day and life of Malik
