He’s already considered to be on a downward spiral, but former One Direction member Zayn Malik, 22, is only adding to his troubles with a Twitter fight with DJ Calvin Harris, 31.

Malik is said to have retweeted a critical tweet about Harris’ girlfriend Taylor Swift, which triggered Harris’ whiteknighting to defend his girlfriend’s honour with a series of tweets. Malik, refusing to give up, rudely responded to Harris with several insulting tweets.

Harris walked away from the spat unscathed, apologizing and complimenting the former boy bander’s voice, but Malik continued in typical confrontational manner, slamming Harris as a ‘dickhead’ after the argument had finished.
