Every celebrity in Hollywood once in their lifetime has had a crazy encounter with Diddy, and Liam Payne was no different. In 2017, Payne recalled a particularly awkward experience with the now-disgraced rapper during an interview with KIIS FM's Kyle and Jackie O. After his tragic demise Wednesday, the old interview of the former One Direction member with Diddy has now gone viral, and once again, fans have theorised a new conspiracy. Scroll ahead to know more.
Liam Payne's awkward encounter with Diddy
Back in 2017, the former One Direction member shared an uncomfortable moment when he met P Diddy at a star-studded party. Notably, standing next to Diddy were Jay-Z and Leonardo DiCaprio, who have maintained their silence following his arrest.
Describing meeting Diddy as 'the most daunting celebrity experience', Payne said, "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," adding, "So I'm a little bit fearful of that man." Liam shared that among Jay-Z, Leonardo and Diddy, the rapper would be a safe bet, but admitted he 'missed the mark'.
What does the new conspiracy theory suggest?
An X user linked Liam's untimely demise to the ongoing chaos in the wake of P Diddy's arrest. The suspicious user wondered if the former One Direction member lost his life for speaking against the music mogul publicly. "Liam Payne talks about Diddy. Everyone tries to stop him. And now he dies mysteriously??! Connect the dots," the X user wrote while sharing the video of the said interview. Take a look:
Fans, mourning the untimely demise of the pop star, were left perplexed aby the new conspiracy theory. One user wrote, "There's no such thing as an accident in the music industry. Liam's 'fall' was a warning to others," while another mentioned, "Too many stars die under suspicious circumstances. Liam's fall is just another in a long line of unexplained deaths. #WakeUp"
