There’s so much excitement on Twitter these days among DJs, pop stars, and their ilk.
The incident in question started when newly solo Zayn Malik retweeted a comparison of Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus’s stances on charging for streaming songs. (Swift is for it, and Cyrus against it).

DJ Calvin Harris then railed against Cyrus’s stance and Zayn’s support of it by pointing out that while Miley Cyrus may not need the money, burgeoning musicians do.

He also defended Swift’s use of her celebrity on this issue to benefit others in the music industry . . .

. . . . and then continued to rant.

Thus inspiring a volley of Tweets from Mailk, calling Harris a “dickhead” and suggesting that Harris is an old man with his knickers in a bind.
@CalvinHarris ha you just made an absolute fool of yourself mate

@CalvinHarris you clearly didn't understand what I just said either
— zayn (@zaynmalik) August 17, 2015
@CalvinHarris so i suggest you calm your knickers before them dentures fall out

Astonishingly, in an arena all about childish overreactions, Harris apparently decided to be a grown-up and apologized, LOLing to the denture joke and “genuinely” wishing Malik luck.

A win for maturity, but a loss for entertainment value. Oh well—tomorrow’s another day, which means more Twitter drama on the horizon.
