The newly leaked song of Zayn Malik has caused a Twitter war between his collaborators Naughty Boy and rapper MIC Righteous.  A new track, "No Type," was unveiled by Righteous on June 15, Monday, after which Naughty Boy claimed that the song is unfinished and stolen.

"That had nothing to do with me or Zayn, something was stolen from the hard drive that had nothing to do with the rapper involved," tweeted the singer's collaborator, who has been working with Malik since his departure from the band, One Direction.

Malik teamed up with Righteous for a cover of Atlanta rap duo Rae Sremmurd's "No Type," Billboard reported. Within hours of its release on SoundCloud, the song became embroiled in controversy when Naughty Boy claimed it as his own.

The rapper hit back saying that the track is not stolen and he has released it on behalf of Malik, who himself is not allowed by Naughty Boy's label to release music for two years.

Malik's latest collaborator also insisted that the track was recorded in Naughty Boy's studio few months ago. The track was taken down, but was soon uploaded again as the rapper explained on his Facebook page that he does not have to keep the label happy.

The rapper also explained in his lengthy Facebook post that Malik wanted to be on the song and wanted it to be released as Naughty Boy's label will not allow him to release any music for two years.

Meanwhile, music lovers are overjoyed and have approved the new track, Daily Mail reported. Earlier in March, Malik had released a single track "I Won't Mind," on SoundCloud in collaboration with Naughty Boy, but that was taken down soon following the backlash.
