Zayn Malik claims to have written on every song on his debut album Mind of Mine, but if his former friend and musical partner Naughty Boy is to be believed, that isn't necessarily the case.
In a series of subtweets, Naughty Boy seems to claim that either 1) Mind of Mine wasn't written in the order or manner that Zayn is implying or 2) that the former One Direction singer didn't write his own music at all.
As Seventeen reports, Naughty Boy kicked off his string of Zayn-related tweets by quoting a Zayn tweet, in which he told a fan that the first Mind of Mine song he wrote was "Pillowtalk." In a since-deleted post, Naughty Boy only had one thing to say: "LOL" (he also tagged Make You Know Love, the production team behind the track).

But, the shady tweets didn't stop there. Naughty Boy claimed that he was only trying to get Zayn to admit that maybe he didn't quite do as much work on "Pillowtalk" as he would like to say he did. He also threatened to leak the original version of the album's second single "Like I Would." He seems to indicate that his work on the track was scrubbed clean and, in the end, he was given no credit for his work.

And once again, for Naughty Boy it's all about dishing proper credit.
credit where credit is due

Zayn has yet to publicly respond to Naughty Boy's tweets.
