ALBAWABA - Amid his tragic passing by falling from the third floor of a hotel in Argentina, speculations from users on social media about One Direction's Liam Payne swarmed platforms like X (formerly known as Twitter) on whether the British singer committed suicide or was murdered.
A user on X called Matt Wallace stated that in 2017, Liam Payne claimed to be fearful of Sean 'Diddy' Combs after allegedly "Witnessing evil". Diddy is an American rapper who has made countless headlines globally and is currently serving time in prison over sexual assault and sex trafficking allegations.
Payne said in the 2017 interview, "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," and added "So I'm a little bit fearful of that man."
Was Liam Payne’s death suicide or murder?
Many users on social media took to several platforms and debunked the speculations in question with some saying:
"After reading his interview in his own words it's obvious Diddy had nothing to do with this one".
"Nah surely it's more likely he killed himself after the crazy abuse he's been getting on social media videos these last few weeks".
