And the 22-year-old was totally not happy about it! After slamming the DJ for his weight, Zayn also said no one knows who Naughty Boy is, that they aren’t friends, and that he’s just a faker.
Woah!
Now, the 30-year-old is speaking up about the online outburst. He says that he never expected his collaboration partner to say something so hurtful:
“It sounded like one of the things the little girls who send me hate would say. I can deal with what he said but he knows the hate I’ve had to endure for him is the bit that upset me. That’s not how I know Zayn to speak, even face to face. I definitely thought at first that he had been hacked. The fat joke thing wasn’t necessary and he’s getting a lot of backlash for that because a lot of his fans don’t look like Selena Gomez. At some point as an artist you have to take responsibility for everything you say. That’s why I think Zayn did it out of anger.”
He also denies that he was the one who leaked the cover that got Zayn so upset, explaining:
“I think initially when Zayn had tweeted that he had assumed I had leaked.I have never leaked anything of Zayn’s. The cover we leaked together. Nothing has been leaked by me. Zayn asked Mic Righteous to write something but it was never going to be used – it was always going to be Krept and Konan – but Mic Righteous decided to put that out himself. The Krept and Konan video was just seven seconds on Snapchat. For me, it’s not a big deal because it’s not a leak. And we were under the impression that if something is put on Snapchat then it’s immediately gone after you’ve seen it. I don’t have Snapchat so I don’t understand how it works. We had been working all night so we didn’t get up till 5-6pm the day of the tweet. We wondered what all the missed calls and messages were about. I thought someone had died!”
Naught Boy also says he has no interest in harboring bad feelings for the former boy band member. He says he still views Zayn as a friend, and that he would still be interested in working with him in the future.
What do U think of the feud, Perezcious readers?
