Liam Payne hits back after saying he 'dislikes' former One Direction bandmate Zayn Malik in candid interview

Liam Payne has spoken out after receiving backlash from a tell-all interview where he talked about his former One Direction band member. The singer, who rose to fame on The X-Factor as part of the boyband, told podcast host Logan Paul that he dislikes Zayn Malik.

The 28-year-old revealed that 'there are many reasons why' he dislikes Zayn, which didn't go down too well with fans. Listeners accused Liam of being 'disrespectful' towards his former bandmate and seemed to refer to an alleged incident between Zayn and his ex girlfriend Gigi Hadid's mum.

Liam has now broken his silence on social media with a statement where he admitted he perhaps 'didn't articulate' himself as well as he could have. The dad-of-one took to Twitter on Thursday morning to explain how he 'wouldn't normally comment' on the matter but it's 'hard to let it slide' when it comes to 'family.'
