One Direction and The Wanted Clash in Twitter Feud

Truth rating: 10

1:12 pm, November 23rd, 2012

(GettyImages.com)

One Direction and The Wanted went at it in a full-blown Twitter war earlier this week.

The boy bander clash seemingly erupted on Tuesday, when One Direction’s Zayn Malik called The Wanted’s Max George a “geek.”

Malik reportedly commented on a photo George uploaded of him and Psy, writing, “The first step is acceptance #geekoftheweek.”

Malik then added, “Your [Twitter] display just [s]how’s how much of a wannabe you are :)”

George fired back with, “That’s not very nice. I was just starting to like you and your RnB hits.”

Zing!

The boys soon had to call in reinforcements.

George’s band mate Tom Parker chimed in, “I think ’1 stripes’ got his knickers in a twist bro,” referring to the blonde streak in Malik’s hair.

Malik shot back at Parker, “Mate if I had a face like yours my hair would be the last thing I’d worry about :)” and One Direction’s Louis Tomlinson backed up his pal, telling Parker, “Pipe down bad boy.”

Malik later wrote to George and Parker, “Let’s not even start discussing vocal ability boys ;) would love to chat gotta run though rehearsals.”

And George replied, “Enjoy rehearsals. Stay off the bud… It clearly makes u cranky.”

All of the tweets have since been deleted.

What do you think of the boy banders’ Twitter feud?

    Zayn’s comments seemed really harsh because I saw all the comments and he didn’t seem to be provoked :( I liked him (though i prefer The Wanted) and I am disappointed by what Zayn said :(

  • …

    “Let’s not even start discussing vocal ability boys ;)” Come on Zyan, The Wanted are so much better than you.

    Gee, I hope this doesn’t give them unwanted PR. WINK!

  • bella

    damn…zayn malik is sooo mean & rude!!

  • Immature

    Seriously someone needs to get these guys off Twitter. They are going to start a legit rival between fanbases. You don’t do that crap online and call each other out.

  • Holly

    I don’t hate any of them…but I greatly dislike One Direction. Their music is alright, but some of the members (like Zyan) need serious attitude checks.

  • http://twitter.com/Meriyam Meriem Salhi

    I think that something else happened , because Zayn can’t tweet these things with know reason , something must’ve happened , he’s been provoked ..!!

  • Ohbrother

    These are the future “men” the world is molding. Nothing but pretty boys. Chivalry is dead and boys wear jeans so tight it looks like they’re painted on. I weep for your generation.

  • Anonymous

    bitch please…no one over the age of 17 cares about these twats. that goes for both bands. And don’t get your knickers in a twist just because someone said something not so nice about your precious’.

  • BeingHonest

    Who the hell is One Direction and The Wanted? Never heard of either one of them

  • jessie

    One direction all the WAY !

  • s hansway

    Zayn/1D all the way. The Wanted who?

  • !

    Don say the wanted! Zayn was being harsh because the wanted insulted one direction at the AMA’s! They were laughing when one direction lost! So I’m glad zayn called him a geek.
    So yea I’m totally with zayn on this one! And why would they guy from the wanted insult zayn back…. Can someone tell me when the last time the wanted got an award! AND THEY HAVE BEEN A BAND SINCE 2009! And one direction was a band 2010! So I wouldn’t be insulting one direction! The wanted should shut fuck off.

  • Lilyx0x

    1D is overrated, the only reason why they’re famous is because they are “good looking”. I think that this kid Zayn is a total douchebag. The Wanted was just trying to do a hashtag trend in twitter and the boy had to comment about it.

  • jackalexandria

    you lost me at boy band

  • http://twitter.com/FabulousNails FabulousNails

    The Wanted have a tendency to slag off other celebrities in interviews, so I have no hard time believing they have made ennemies in the people they have insulted in the past. I don’t know about the Wanted’s musical abilities (They have only come to my notice through those attacks against other celebs), but the One direction kids seem nice enough generally speaking, I don’t understand why they would randomly attack some other british band without a cause…
    When you read this article and the tweets, it does indeed seem like One direction (Zayn) started the feud, but I get the feeling we are missing background information considering the Wanted’s tendency to be rude.
    However, I just wish they would just stop arguing like that, it makes them look like fools. And even when provoked, taking the high road is always the better option.

  • heydude

    please don’t define my whole generation on this… or blame on skinny jeans! there are actually decent ppl from our generation making a diference.. they just don’t get that kind of recognition!

  • anonymous

    the wanted started it by insulting harry. of course louis was pissed and reacted then zayn got into it. the wanted are douchebags who people only notice when they fight 1D on twitter. regardless, its stupid. im a directioner and i dont like the wanted, but they should just leave each other alone. they’re both hardworking groups who make ppl happy and fighting isnt good. blah blah blah idc -.-

  • anonymous

    cool buddy. you should climb out from under your rock sometime.

  • Lindsey

    More like One Direction all the gay ;)

  • Lindsey

    1D Who? Oh right, no one cares.

  • anonymous

    im 23 and i know a lot of others who are above and around my age who like 1D. and it was started when the guy from the wanted insulted harry. the wanted are douchebags who try to get fame from harassing 1D. overall its all publicity. and yeah 1D isnt perfect, but they make ppl happy. thats the main point of music. so stop being an ignorant dork and grow up.

  • Lindsey

    Do you know 1D personally? LOL NOPE. He’s clearly a dickhead. Try and process that before you spout nonsense on the internet.

  • anonymous

    the boys from 1D may not be perfect, but they are nice. the wanted are douches who insult many celebrities. people like the wanted are the ones who give this generation a bad name. and don’t generalize people, what are you 12? grow up.

  • iiiveL

    oh. Zayn started this one. But I still love him. :)) 1D and TW would probably move on fast..

  • http://www.facebook.com/fatii.castlee Fatii Castlee Styles

    That is SO NOT TRUE!

  • http://www.facebook.com/fatii.castlee Fatii Castlee Styles

    there not gay!

  • Molly

    One Direction let fame get to their heads. They are always trash talking The Wanted when The wanted are nothing but respectful to them. You would think that they would have respect for people who been in the industry longer but no. One Direction have zero class. They think they’re all bad boys by getting (the stupidest) tattoos. I personally think that One Direction is jealous of The Wanted because One Direction wants to do the music The Wanted do. Little Things is pretty much like WMYB but in a slower beat.

  • lyra

    Gosh, that Zayn Malik is one to speak. He purposely provoked this fight and has the nerve to insult people. FYI,Max George has 100% more talent than Zayn Malik. Fucking arrogant git..

    Do u know them bitch didn’t think so!! So sit your stupid ass down

  • Tbh.

    Lucky you. You are better of not knowing. They are two worthless boy groups.

  • Being Honest

    You should crawl under a pile of s*it and die

  • Mislove

    Maybe, just MAYBE it was all just a JOKE?????

  • Laura

    They aren’t gay, but besides that: is calling someone gay supposed to be an insult? Care to enlighten me on what it is about being gay that is so demeaning and terrible?

  • Laura

    Get your facts checked. You of all people should be the one told not to spout nonsense on the internet. TW and 1D have been in a feud for quite some time now, starting with TW trashing 1D in an interview.

  • natcheung

    I’m just really disappointed with zayn :( I’ve always been a fan of both bands and I hate seeing them in a twitter fight :(

  • Bea Malik ;)

    Oh Sorry, The Wanted is NOT EVEN THE HALF OF ONE DIRECTION, And yeah, We can’t hear you well, the England Queen is still clapping. Bitch Please ¬¬’

  • >>

    At least The Wanted doesn’t let the fame get into their heads…’.the England Queen still clapping’ sorry we CAN’T hear it because our mind are still blown away by the Wanted performance in AMA 2012…

    You should get you fact right before trash talking people….that’s all I want to say and don’t even bother to reply…

  • NiallHoransGirl

    if you think the wanted are better then one direction then your deluded. one direction have the top single , AND album in the WORLD right now. not to mention over 4 worldwide numer ones, and ANOTHER worldwide number one album. where are the wanted? oh yeah, in the backarse of the top 40, singing about shit. and its *Zayn.

  • Get a life D’s

    Don’t listen to those peeps below; once an obsessive delusional directioner, always an obsessive delusional directioner ;-)-|-<

  • lyd

    The Wanted insulted one person. Christina Aguilera. And that was because she ignored them and The Wanted apologized for that. They’re not rude. They’re truthful and they’re not under strict management like One Direction, so they are able to say what they want.

  • http://www.facebook.com/casey.coles.35 Casey Coles

    GO ZAYN U TELL HIM TOMMO!! WHOOOOOP WHOOOOOP AND ALL U BETCHEZ SUPPORTING THE WANTED CAN GET NECKED DEM FAGGOTZ

  • http://www.facebook.com/casey.coles.35 Casey Coles

    actually the wanted started the insulting but it was 1D who brought it to twitter

  • Miranda

    It all actually started when Max said in an interview that 1D has fans just cos of their pretty faces while TW has fans because they produce good music.

  • ;

    The Wanted aren’t better than 1D ,please . Zayn just replied for that wrong things The Wanted said about 1D , and pleaaase … if you say that The Wanted sing better than 1D just … go on youtube and search : One Direction on X Factor and stop comment ok?

  • Ricky

    I really don’t care about either band but The Wanted has constantly been dissing One.Direction for a majority of the year so what Zayn did wasn’t rude, he was just getting his own back. The Wanted even admitted they brought it on themselves. I wish people would wake up and realise that The Wanted are a bunch of little girls that can dish it out but can’t take it and produce songs like I Found You that are actually painful to listen to.

  • mecindylewis

    I don’t hate any of
    them…but I greatly dislike The Wanted…….

    The Wanted wish they were like One Direction!

  • http://twitter.com/DimitriMardoche Dimitri Mardochée

    actually the wanted started because a fake account of harry styles posted something harsh on the wanted on twitter and they thought it was real

  • http://twitter.com/DimitriMardoche Dimitri Mardochée

    1D, The bunch of f*aggs justin bieber wannabees

  • Liksrwr

    They guy that looks like zayn is a Chanel model

  • HARSUKH

    hey zayn go for the right. ALL THE BEST!!: )

  • missytw

    One Direction is commercial that’s why.

  • Marissa

    One Direction are only more famous because there commercial and because of their “looks” in no way are they more talented than The Wanted.

    As a Harry Potter quote…At lest The Wanted didn’t have to go on a TV show. They got formed on pure talent.

    And The Wanted also had to build their way up from the bottom to the very top, unlike 1D who instantly got a fan base from X Factor

  • tatiana146

    DAMMMMM!!!!!!! #Team Zayn!!!:D<3

  • Anonymous!! :)

    Actually, for all you people that don’t know, The Wanted started the fight a while ago. They began saying they were much better than One Direction. Recently, the boys of TW (The Wanted) laughed at the boys of One Direction for not winning an award. To get back, Zayn called Max a geek, hoping to insult him, and the fight broke out. I’m not on either side. Both of their music stinks, but this was a fun topic to research!

  • juliazoe4

    I’m a directioner
    and i don’t like the wanted, but they should just leave each other alone.

    one direction all the way. i love zayn <3

  • xoxorisandluxoxo

    I’m a HUGE Directioner, but wht Zayn did was sort of uncalled for I think. Unless there’s another thing that happened that I don’t know of. Regardless, I think that the once they got into it, the boys were just being boys and probably saying things they didn’t truly mean. Although, I have to say that One Direction is more talented than The Wanted, vocally. I don’t really want to stir anything, but I haven’t listened to The Wanted without autotune so I can’t be certain. However, none of my boys can dance AT ALL. I don’t think anyone should judge on a single fault of a person though.
