Liam Payne was on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast the other day and wasn’t shy at all about bigging himself up and dissing the former One Direction lads that he disliked.

During the hour-long interview, he claimed he and Louis Tomlinson hated each other while in the band, admitted there are ‘many things’ he ‘dislikes’ about Zayn Malik, and also claims a One D member shoved him up against a wall once but never messed with him again after he set him straight.

He also claimed One Direction was built around him (‘started with my face and worked around the rest’) and that Simon Cowell said this to him personally…

Another claim he made that wound up One Direction fans was that his debut solo single had outsold the rest of the former members’ debuts. I’m not sure if that’s true but safe to say Harry Styles’s solo career has blown Payne’s out of the water. Here’s the general reaction to the interview online:

Literally in shock! The response wasn’t much better on Twitter…

So yeah, not a great day at the office for Liam Payne but an even worse day for any of the boys and girls out there who were hoping for a One Direction reunion anytime soon. Then again they could just get the band back together without him – would anyone even notice?

For the time Liam Payne was accused of ‘biphobia’ because of lyrics to his song ‘Both Ways’, click HERE. Poor guy can’t seem to do anything right.
