One Direction star Louis Tomlinson is currently facing a lot of backlash for using the "N-word" in the controversial video of smoking weed.

The singer, who was filmed apparently smoking drugs, had said that its only green "nig", which the fans accuse of being a shortened version of the N-word, Metro.co.uk reported.

Tomlinson and Zayn Malik, 21, were caught on camera allegedly smoking marijuana while on tour in Peru last month and if proven, it may mean they will be banned from the US.
