During a recent podcast interview, Liam Payne, 28, expressed his actual emotions regarding former One Direction band mate Zayn Malik, 29. In a new interview on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive, the singer admitted to having “dislike” for the “Pillow Talk” singer. But also added that he’ll “always be on his side”. He and the host were discussing Zayn’s online dispute with Logan’s brother, Jake Paul, in 2020, and how Zayn’s then-girlfriend, Gigi Hadid, stood up for him by calling him “a respectful king” after Jake was labelled “irrelevant.”
“She tweeted something about get yourself a respectful man or something,” Liam Payne answered. That one didn’t hold up well over time.”
After he allegedly threw her mother, Yolanda Hadid, into a dresser and called her a “f**king Dutch slut” during an altercation, Liam said of Gigi’s tweet, hinting to her subsequent divorce from Zayn.
Zayn stated he “adamantly denies striking Yolanda” in a statement to ET at the time. He entered a not guilty plea to four counts of harassment. He was given 90 days of probation on each count, for a total of 360 days, as well as an anger management class and a domestic violence programme to complete.
What was Liam Payne’s opinion on Zayn Malik?
As the podcast’s discussion of Zayn Malik progressed, Liam Payne stated that there are various reasons why he “dislikes” Malik.
“There are a lot of reasons why I dislike Zayn, and there are a lot of reasons why I’ll always, always be on his side,” Liam explained on the show. “If I’d had to go through what he did, with his growth and everything else… My parents are extremely supportive, to the point of annoyance at times. In that regard, Zayn had a different upbringing.”
“You can always look at the dude and say, ‘Oh yeah, whatever, that guy’s a d**k,'” he added. “But, at the end of the day, once you comprehend what he’s gone through to get to that point — and whether or not he chose to be there,” says the author.
Liam Payne’s appearance on Logan Paul’s podcast has gotten a lot of attention on the internet
The British singer’s dig at his former bandmate was met with disapproval on the internet. He was also humiliated online for appearing on the YouTuber’s programme, according to several.
One user remarked, “I’ve never seen a bigger flop than Liam Payne in my life.” You went from being in the world’s biggest band to appear on a Logan Paul podcast discussing former members of your band.
Another person claimed that Liam Payne is an insignificant c-list star who is homophobic, biphobic, and transphobic, as well as having cheated on his fiancée. Why is he focusing his attention on Zayn and Louis?
One user said, “I’m the most successful out of the band,” Liam Payne, you’re sitting there with Logan Paul on his podcast while Harry is shattering records and playing two sold-out nights at Wembley Stadium in less than three weeks.
Another person stated that Liam Payne is doing a podcast with Logan Paul and that Harry Styles will be performing at Wembley Stadium in a few weeks to a sold-out crowd. The levels are amusing.
Payne has received backlash after being photographed with a lady who was not his fiancée, in addition to receiving a lot of vitriol online for his comments about Zayn Malik. Payne was photographed with his arms around another woman, according to a fan page.
Payne’s representative confirmed the split to E! News on May 23. However, no other details about the breakup have been revealed.
