A video was recently leaked, showing One Direction boys Louis Tomlinson and Zayn Malik enjoying some marijuana in an SUV while driving around Peru. Around the 3:15 mark, Louis Tomlinson says to the driver of the SUV, “It’s green only, Nig.” While many fans are in an uproar over the possibility that dear Louis could have dropped a racial slur, others have defended Louis and said he was probably referring to the term “nig nog,” which generally means “a silly person.”
