Liam Payne Narrates Why One Direction Broke Up, Speaks About His Beef With Zayn Malik

Liam Payne, a pop icon and former “One Direction” member, joined the boys on the “Impulsive” podcast and revealed why their pop band split up.

Why did One Direction Break up?

One Direction has been described as reviving interest in boy bands and as part of a new “British Invasion” (along with acts such as Adele) in the United States.

Liam Payne, the pop icon, has finally answered some long-standing questions about the famous band “One Direction,” which consisted of Niall Horan, Liam Payne, Harry Styles, Louis Tomlinson, and Zayn Malik. 

Zayne left the group for the first time in March 2015.

On an episode of Logan Paul’s “Impaulsive” Podcast, he joined the boys for a heart-to-heart. 

While Liam admitted that the sudden international fame was difficult to deal with, he also admitted that getting to know his new bandmates was difficult.

He admitted that he was not used to ‘rowdy guys’ and that he didn’t have many friends, preferring to spend time with his father. 

“Louis was wild,” Liam said when asked who in the band was “rowdy.” He desired to be wild. 

He has this spirit.” He went on to say that Louis is his “best mate now,” but that they used to hate each other. 

“Like, to come to blows hate each other, it was close,” he said.

Liam’s Dispute with an Unidentified Member

Later in the interview, Liam discussed his life in One Direction in greater detail and was asked pointedly if he and the other members had ever ‘actually come to blows.’ 

“We came very close at times,” Liam said. Backstage, there was an argument, and one of the members, in particular, threw me up a wall.”

Liam explained how he handled the situation. “If you don’t remove those hands, there’s a good chance you’ll never use them again,” he said. 

He went on to say that the unnamed member then ‘took his hands off.’

Liam and Zayn Malik’s Rivalry

Liam Payne also discussed his relationship with Zayn Malik. The 28-year-old singer revealed his former One Direction bandmate, who left the group in 2015, a year before the boy band’s indefinite hiatus, on a podcast. 

“There are many reasons why I dislike Zayn, and many reasons why I’ll always, always be on his side,” Liam said.

“If I had had to go through what he went through with his growth and whatever else…,” Liam said on the podcast. My parents are overly encouraging to the point of annoyance at times. 

In that regard, Zayn had a different upbringing.”

Liam went on to say that because he is “so misunderstood,” he “can’t sit here and d**k on [Zayn] because of whatever.” 

“Listen, I don’t agree with any of his actions,” Liam said. I can’t say I agree with everything he’s done. That is something I cannot support.” 

“What I can say is I understand,” he added, “and your only hope is that the person on the other end of the phone wants to receive the help that you’re willing to give them at some point in their life.”

Rewinding the Clock

For those who have forgotten, Simon Cowell formed the group on July 23, 2010, after they all auditioned as solo artists on The X Factor. 

They went on to release five epic albums together, embark on numerous sold-out world tours, break numerous records, and win numerous awards.

Liam’s time in One Direction came to an end in 2016, when the pop band announced a six-year hiatus. 

If you recall, in 2015, “One Direction” shocked the world when they announced an indefinite hiatus.
