Is One Direction's Louis Tomlinson feuding with 'Recovery' singer James Arthur? Twitter diss turns into threatening texts

As a rising star on a record label that includes the biggest boy band in the world, you would think that James Arthur would keep his mouth shut when it came to badmouthing members of said band. Unfortunately for him, he decided to diss Louis Tomlinson of One Direction online and his world might be tumbling down now. According to Arthur, Tomlinson threatened to end his budding career and informed the singer that the label, Syco, doesn't even like him!

For some strange reason, James Arthur called Louis Tomlinson "a little b*tch" online. Louis didn't appear to retaliate through any form of social media, so it looked like he was keeping his cool. But now Arthur explains that Louis contacted him directly through text messages and is dropping bombshells on his life.

"I don't want to rat anyone out or be a bitch, but the guy was threatening to end my career," Arthur said. "Louis texted me: 'It's a long way down from here if you say stuff about us.' Then he was saying people at Syco don't respect me."

"I was in a hell of a mood and my nan had just died," he added. "After his texts, I convinced myself that nobody at Syco liked me and they were going to drop me like a hot coal. That's why I blew up. For me, I've always been the guy who self sabotages. In my head I was thinking, 'It's going to go wrong anyway'."

We're not sure what Arthur expected to happen after he called out Tomlinson like that, but hopefully he's learned his lesson.
