Naughty Boy has warned Louis he will regret picking a fight with him.

After a twitter feud involving the former One Direction bandmates, the 'La La La' hitmaker has blasted Louis, 23, telling him to ''shut his mouth''.

Revealing his side of the argument, where the keyboard player poked fun at the producer's selfie in the studio with Zayn, the rapper exclusively told The Sun newspaper: ''Louis should be supporting Zayn. I've been the one looking after Zayn since he left One Direction ... He should actually be reaching out to Zayn and maintaining that relationship. It's all about loyalty and what they had in that band was a group of loyalty.''

He continued: ''I think Zayn has shown that he is still loyal to them as he said that was the best five years of his life and he thanked them when he won an award at the Asian Awards recently.''

Adding to the newspaper: ''I hope he's not jealous - he should be more worried about autotune running out in the near future because then he'll be alright.''

The DJ had one clear message for him, he remarked: ''Louis needs to shut his mouth. He is just a child. He's messing with a sleeping lion and you shouldn't have woken up a sleeping lion as you are only going to regret it.''

Naughty Boy reminded the 'Steal My Girl' hitmaker: ''I'm not prepared to be the brunt of everything as everyone needs to wait for the real story to come out and then they will realise.''
