Boy George has clearly irked a boy bander.

Following Wednesday's Brit Awards, the Culture Club frontman took to Twitter and lashed out against Liam Payne after the One Direction star allegedly refused to pause and take a photo with his niece on the red carpet.

"Top marks to Harry Styles for stopping for a picture with my niece and Bollox's to Liam and the disrespectful wanker of a minder!" George wrote.

Well, it didn't take long for Payne to respond.

"@BoyGeorge now now boy lets not tell porkies. Firstly thanks for getting my name wrong three times secondly then asking me where is liam?...awkward. Then when you finally got it right saying you wanted Niall instead," he tweeted.

Payne then added, "If you would have asked me for a picture i would have stopped bro i just did what you said and pointed niall out for you so u just keep wearing ur strange hats and enjoy yourself my little Georgie pie... It's still not cool you just look weird."

Ouch.
