Liam Payne Clarifies His Comments About “Brother” Zayn Malik

During his interview with Logan, Liam shared where he stands with Zayn today. “There’s many reasons why I dislike Zayn,” the “Strip That Down” singer said, “and there’s many reasons why I’ll always, always be on his side.” 

Liam then said his parents are “overly supportive to the point where it’s annoying at times” and that “Zayn had a different upbringing in that sense.”

“You can always look at the man for where he is and say, ‘Oh yeah, whatever, that guy’s a d–k,’ right?” he continued. “But at the end of the day, once you understand what he’s been through to get to that point, and also whether or not he actually even wanted to be there.”

Liam said he knows what it’s like to be misunderstood. “It’s like I can’t sit here and dick on him because of whatever,” he continued. “And listen, I don’t agree with any of his actions. I can’t commend some of the things that he’s done. I can’t be on his side for that. What I can say is I understand and your only hope is that at some point in their life the person on the other end of the phone wants to receive the help that you’re willing to give them. “
