Liam Payne is spilling all kinds of tea these days.
As we previously reported, Cheryl‘s baby daddy gave some pretty blunt answers when asked about his One Direction peers’ attempts at solo careers. While the 23-year-old had some nice things to say about Niall Horan, the new dad couldn’t bring himself to actually compliment Harry Styles‘ self-titled album.

And it looks like it’s Zayn Malik‘s turn to get some shade from the Strip That Down singer. While chatting with Dan Wootton for the Bizarre Life podcast, Bear Payne‘s poppa weighed in on whether or not he think Gigi Hadid‘s man will ever reunite with 1D — HINT: The outlook does not look good.
The former boy bander noted:

Of course, Zayn stans were quick to clap back (below) at Liam online as they reminded him about all of the racism, islamophobia, and anxiety the 24-year-old faced while in the X Factor formed musical group.
Zayn: victim of islamophobia, racism, death threats, suffered from anxiety, developed eating disorder
Liam: Not sure why he didn’t love it.

@ZaynJMNews @LiamPayne @zaynmalik Zayn always says that he appreciates the times with the boys but its the type of music they made that he did not like

@ZaynJMNews @LiamPayne @zaynmalik His convo with Z must of not been in detail because what Liam said is absolute bullshit and simply not true.

Remind us not to piss off Zayn fans! It’ll be inneresting to see if the Pillowtalk performer reacts to this somewhat shady remark.
Don’t worry, we’re keeping our eyes vigilantly peeled for a response!
