Although no one has been paying attention to the feud between One Direction and The Wanted, fans of both bands were glad to learn that Harry Styles and Nathan Sykes already reconciled. Sykes even said that he was “with Harry” in Los Angeles recently.
“We were both a bit merry,” Sykes told The Mirror, according to Press Party. “We had one hell of an embrace.”
“I never had a problem with any of the 1D boys and never got involved with the Twitter fights,” he added. “It wasn’t me. I think sometimes you can be a victim of hatred through association. I was, like, ‘I didn’t say anything.’” According to him, it was the other members of their corresponding bands who had a social media fight one another.
He even praised his former rival band’s latest music. “I think their last album sounded brilliant,” Sykes said. It turn out that Sykes has been a 1D fan after all, according to Cambio.
This feud actually began in 2012 when Zayn Malik of One Direction called Max George of The Wanted a “geek.” Soon enough, the argument escalated and they started to bash each other’s vocal abilities. Eventually, Malik took a more personal jab and called George “Chlamydia boy.”
Their feud was later blown out of proportions when they threatened to meet up for a fist fight following the mockery of Tom Parker from The Wanted of 1D’s Louis Tomlinson as well as the band’s climb to fame after they won the talent show, “The X Factor UK.”
Despite the non-involvement of both Styles and Sykes in the fight, they decided to let bygones be bygones and become friends as they celebrated a drunken night in Los Angeles.
However, there is one person who may think it is awkward to be close friends with the British heartthrob again especially after a relatively bitter parting. His rumored girlfriend, now his alleged ex-girlfriend, Nadine Leopold, reportedly dumped him because of his flirty behavior.
“Harry is constantly being swarmed by gorgeous women,” a source said, according to Sugar Scape. “Making matters worse is that Harry is a major flirt. Most of the time, it’s harmless. But, it definitely affected Nadine.”
Although Styles is reportedly desperate to get back with Leopold, she is not ready to rekindle any romance with the known Casanova. “She was the first girl, in a long time, he’s really liked,” said the source. “He’s been calling and texting her nonstop to get her back.”
