Liam Payne is finally addressing his One Direction comments from the summer — and the severe backlash he got…
If you don’t remember, the 29-year-old made an appearance on Logan Paul’s Impaulsive podcast back in June, where he didn’t spare ANY words regarding his former bandmates. The singer went on a bit of a tangent talking about the feuds with his fellow 1D alums, specifically Zayn Malik. Not only did he admit he straight-up “dislikes” the Pillowtalk singer, he brought up the alleged physical altercation with Yolanda Hadid! He also shaded the rest by boasting he had the most successful debut solo track and was the starting point for the band’s creation. Yeah. Wow.
This of course ignited fan outrage online! The X Factor UK set the record straight in July, pointing out that it was Niall Horan who was first selected for the group, with Liam actually being chosen fourth!

One fan tweeted that Liam’s sentiment had made them laugh, and we guess that was all it took for the Sunshine singer to open up about his now-infamous podcast interview. In an IG response to the tweet, Liam wrote:
