While the British boyband One Direction are considered the biggest boyband on the planet, there are still those who cannot accept that a manufactured boyband gets more exposure that artists with real talent. The Kooks singer Luke Pritchard is one of those, who started a war of words with One Direction, by slating their album launch party.
Luke Pritchard slammed The Kooks
Pritchard took to his official Twitter account to say, "Stop this malfunction. World realign please. Artists dying.'' Then, when a fan revealed that they followed both The Kooks and One Direction, Luke ranted, "How can you be a fan of something that has no life? I honestly feel so depressed that you are into Kooks.; ''I'd rather anyone who likes One Direction never follow me. You literally have no idea how upset I am."
Luke Pritchard later took the posts down and claimed that he had been drinking at the time but One Direction's Liam Payne made sure he got his few cents in, tweeting, "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 ;)."
Liam Payne has hit back
It is not the first time that One Direction have been targeted by other musicians and, due to how huge and successful they have become, it will certainly not be the last time that somebody has a pop. Fortunately One Direction are sensible lads and have a good team of people around them.
