The tension between One Direction, its fans and Zayn Malik has begun, or at least his solo album producer Naughty Boy. Last night (March 30), remaining 1D member Louis Tomlinson fired off at Naughty Boy on Twitter after he posted an Instagram video saying he "saved" Malik, and now Directioners are gathering behind their #masterofallwisdom.

The drama began when Naughty Boy retweeted a video saying "Naughty Boy saved my live, Zaughty [a nickname for Zayn/Naughty] will rise."

Tomlinson, always the outspoken member of One Direction, took offence to the video, tweeting that the producer was just trying to rile up the Directioners fanbase and calling him "immature."

Even as Directioners rallied behind Tomlinson and the #masterofallwisdom hashtag, Naughty Boy attempted to take the high road. After telling Tomlinson to let the other members of One Direction to "talk for a change," he released Malik's first solo single "I Won't Mind" on Soundcloud (though the official audio has since been deleted).

For his own part, Malik has been silent on social media ever since announcing that he would be leaving One Direction's On The Road Again Tour and then quitting the band for good.
