One Direction video apparently shows Louis Tomlinson using version of N-word | Mail Online
One Direction's Louis Tomlinson has been plunged into a race row after apparently using a racial slur in a video of him and a bandmate smoking a ‘joint’.
Bringing the under-fire band into further disrepute, Louise was today lambasted for using the word 'nig' - which fans say is a shortened version of the N-word - in the controversial footage.
The video, revealed by MailOnline last night, shows Louis, 22, and fellow One Direction member Zayn Malik, 21, passing round what appears to be cannabis.
Louis put on an accent while speaking about drugs, then said: ‘It’s green only, nig.’
One Direction fans - as well as MPs and racism campaigners - demanded apologies from the band in light of the video.
They said the boy band had abused their position as role models and risked encouraging their young fans to copy them.
Simon Cowell, their ultimate boss, was also dragged into the row as fans sent him messages urging him to take action over the use of a form of the N-word.
Louis himself Zayn on Google Glasses on the way to perform in Lima, Peru, last month during their world tour.
In the footage, they can be seen lighting up a roll-up and passing it around in the car that is escorting them to the Estadio Nacional, where they performed to a 40,000 capacity crowd.
