Call it professional jealousy or rivalry, the fact is that ever since Zayn Malik has left the pop band One Direction, things between him and his former band mates have been getting sourer by the day.

For example, Zayn M has been badmouthing 1D from the moment he separated from it. And now that his first single Pillowtalk from his debut album is out (and news is that it’s doing fine on the charts) One Direction’s Harry Styles has nothing good to say about it. He has been quoted to have said that the song is called Pillowtalk because ‘it puts you to sleep’. Ouch. That’s nasty. Harry S, try and have some coffee when you hear the song.
