Zayn Malik has parted ways with his erstwhile BFF Naughty Boy, lashing out at him on Twitter with a tirade that Directioners (are they still called Directioners now he’s left One Direction? Or do they have another nickname? Keep us posted) have decreed shows no chill whatsoever, using the hashtag #ZAYNHASNOCHILL to chat about what happened.

Zayn and Naughty Boy were so tight in the days after Zayn left One Direction they amassed a veritable bromance in just a few hours of studio time together. But, like holiday romances and prawns in hot weather, some flings just aren’t built to last…
