It seems One Direction fans don't know much about classic hip hop.

Fans of ex-member Zayn Malik were sent into overdrive on Twitter when the singer appeared to tweet that he had an evening of "meth" ahead of him.

The tweet included a picture of Malik on a balcony with a cityscape background and the caption, "Meth and red man tonight".

Rather than hard drugs, Malik was actually referring to Wu Tang Clan rappers Method Man and Redman. However, some of his younger fans were confused and tweeted their dismay.

A photo posted later on of Malik with the rappers appeared to clear up any confusion.
