Robbie Williams has a new music group to fight with.

This year, the U.K. pop star has been involved in a public feud with Oasis, and now, he and The Dandy Warhols are arguing, NME reports.

The group's singer, Courtney Taylor, described Robbie to NME as "a hero of artistic villainy" and said "Watching the Robbie Williams show, y'know, the vapid, soulless rendition of vapid, soulless songs - and I use the term loosely - music is a generous term."

Robbie, who hasn't spoken with the magazine since he walked out of an interview in 1998, then wrote NME a letter fighting back against Courtney's insults.

"Whilst taking a break from being incredibly tepid, corporate and evil," he wrote, "I was reading the 'Heroes & Villains' section of the NME (a wonderful way to start my Tuesday morning)... A very interesting read. Now, I don't like broccoli but it doesn't stop it from being a vegetable does it? "Good luck with everything you've got going on now and in the future, kind regards Robbie Williams. PS: You smell like poo and the girls don't like you. Enjoy your 15 minutes, I am."
