One Direction fans are going all in on social media following Liam Payne’s controversial podcast interview with Logan Paul.
During the 75-minute chat on Impaulsive, Payne talked about former bandmate Zayn Malik and Gigi Hadid, the 1D beef with Justin Bieber and one of his former bandmates throwing him against a wall.
It was the comments about Malik that enraged the Internet, however, with “Liam Payne” trending on Twitter not long after the interview went live.
“Liam Payne going onto Logan Paul’s podcast and calling Zayn Malik a dick is not something i thought would happen today but here we are,” one fan tweeted.
“The funniest thing about Liam Payne saying “he was 1d’s center/honor member” is that he’s being dead serious. just trusting the voices in his head without a single doubt,” wrote another.
“Liam Payne is only “relevant” bc he won’t shut the fuck up about One Direction, while the other 4 are thriving in their solo careers,” posted someone else.
One tweet called Payne “a racist piece of sh!t.”

“White people should never be allowed to speak on immigrant parents and the children of immigrants and for him to compare his own white upbringing to Zayn’s, Liam Payne is a racist piece of sh!t not even surprised to know about it since he never defended him in the band either,” the post read.
Another fan referred to Harry Styles eating a scorpion in a game of ‘Spill Your Guts’ on James Corden’s The Late Late Show.

“Harry ate a scorpion and Niall drinking a salmon smoothie so they don’t disrespect and embarrass their band mates and LIAM PAYNE OUT HERE ON LOGAN PAULS SHOW TALKING SHIT WITHOUT HESITATION,” they wrote.
Another fan claimed that whomever “threw Payne against the wall” was their “new favourite” member of the band.
