One Direction was once one of the biggest boy bands globally, with each member enjoying a dedicated fan base. For years, fans eagerly awaited a reunion, hoping to see their favorite stars together again. But those hopes were shattered when news broke of Liam Payne’s tragic death, leaving the world in shock.

Amidst the grief, an old clip resurfaced where the British singer described a chilling encounter with Sean Diddy Combs, calling him “evil.” Liam Payne passed away on October 17 after a fatal fall from the third floor of the CasaSur Palermo hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Reports suggest he was under the influence of drugs, and his hotel room was found in disarray.

Before the incident, he allegedly had an altercation with an escort. Meanwhile, Sean Diddy Combs faces serious allegations, including multiple sexual assault lawsuits, and many of his past controversies are now coming back into the spotlight. In a 2016 interview with Australian radio station KIIS FM, Liam recounted an unsettling experience with Sean Diddy Combs. He attended an event where Diddy was present, along with Jay Z and Leonardo DiCaprio. Describing the encounter, Payne shared, “I went over to speak to him and Jay-Z, and as I shook his hand, he just chuckled… the most evil laugh I’ve ever heard.

” Payne admitted that the experience left him feeling intimidated, joking, “So, I’m a little bit fearful of that man.” He also remarked that he had initially thought P. Diddy would be “a safe bet” but quickly realized he was mistaken. Payne revisited this story during an appearance on The Graham Norton Show, where he shared the couch with Salma Hayek and David Walliams. Social media users have even highlighted Salma’s reaction to his retelling, which has since gone viral on the platform X. Currently, Sean Diddy Combs is held at the Brooklyn Metropolitan Detention Center, facing charges including sex trafficking, harassment, and racketeering. On the other side, reports allege that Liam Payne was partying with two prostitutes and using hallucinogenic drugs in his hotel room before his tragic death
