One Direction singer Liam Payne has hit back at The Kooks' frontman Luke Pritchard, after the indie star criticised the X Factor boyband in a drunken Twitter rant.
Earlier this week, Pritchard took to Twitter to slam the world-conquering talent show stars, telling fans that he would rather One Direction fans stop following him on Twitter, and expressing his unhappiness with their global success.
"Do not like what I do. i'd rather anyone who likes one direction never follow me. you literally have no idea who upset I am," later adding: "How can you be a fan of something that has no life. I honestly feel so depressed that you are into Kooks." He later admitted he was drunk while tweeting.
Now, Payne has responded to the criticsm, claiming One Direction are (or were) fans of The Kooks, prior to his criticism.
"Sad thing is @lukekook we are/where [sic] fans of your band, nice one man verbally attacking your own fans how very rock and roll of you ;)" Payne wrote on Twitter.
