Liam Payne's recent interview with Logan Paul's podcast has sparked debate on the internet, as the former member of the boy band had said some remarks that left fans of One Direction unsettled.
On the now infamous tell-all podcast episode, Liam Payne brought out One Directions' dirty laundry out in the open, sniping Zayn Malik along the way.
Payne, who took over the headlines last week, received an overwhelming amount of backlash from One Direction fans, prompting countless memes, clapbacks, and even a hilarious reaction from Lizzo herself.

In Logan Paul's "impaulsive" videos on Youtube, the former One Direction member has been candid on his thoughts on the now broken-up boy band.
Fans were upset and laughed at Payne's claim that his single, "Strip That Down," has outsold everyone in the band.
But, fans were quick to counter this claim as the track, which only ranked No. 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, was surpassed by Styles' debut solo single "Sign of the Times" and Malik's "Pillowtalk," which peaked at No. 4, and No. 1 on the charts, respectively.
Also, fans argued that Payne's critically-planned album "LP1" ranked the lowest among all former members of One Direction, reaching only No. 111 on the Billboard 200 charts. Malik, Payne, and Horan's debut albums peaked at No. 1, while Tomlinson's reached No. 9. on the charts.
