One Direction Stomp on Naughty Boy Pinata in Concert

Everything seems to be good between One Direction and its former bandmate Zayn Malik now, but things are not OK between the boy band and Malik's (former?) producer Naughty Boy. During an On The Road Again Tour stop in Kansas City last night (July 28), 1D members Liam Payne and Louis Tomlinson stomped on a piñata with the likeness of Naughty Boy.

A group of fans, who are presumably not fans of Naughty Boy and his relationship with Malik, brought a piñata in the shape of a monkey with the producer's face glued on to the head. Somehow, the party game made its way on to the stage, when Tomlinson began to stomp on it, causing it to explode.

Later on, Payne and reportedly Niall Horan also joined in on the game, and the boys of One Direction stomped the piñata to bits.

While fans at the show cheered 1D on as they destroyed the piñata, others are decrying the act as immature and in slightly poor taste at best. Others are calling the act potentially racist or sizest against Naughty Boy, who is Asian and not quite as slim as the boys in One Direction.

It's also unclear whether or not One Direction even knew whether or not the piñata had Naughty Boy's face on it.

If they did know, it would not be the first time Tomlinson attacked Naughty Boy in a public forum. Earlier this summer, he called the producer out for flaunting his relationship with Malik in the wake of his split from One Direction. Meanwhile, Malik has seemingly also distanced himself from his friend, calling him a "fat joke" on Twitter.
