Talk about battle of the bands.
One Direction and The Wanted engaged in an all-out Twitter war earlier this week. On Tuesday, One Direction crooner Zayn Malik called The Wanted’s Max George a “geek” — and he was less than happy with that particular hashtag.
It all started when George tweeted a photo with “Gangnam Style” singer Psy. “Me and Psy getting messy #geekandproud,” he tweeted. However, Malik’s reply was less than complimentary.
“The first step is acceptance #geekoftheweek,” he tweeted. He then added, “Your display just shows how much of a wannabe you are :).” That’s when things got ugly. (Note: All of the tweets have since been deleted, but screengrabs of the exchange can be found here.)
George fired back with, “That’s not very nice. I was just starting to like you and your RnB hits.” The Wanted’s Tom Parker then added, “I think ’1 stripes’ got his knickers in a twist bro,” referring to the signature blonde streak in Malik’s hair.
