Lizzo
seemingly
took
a
dig
at
Liam
Payne
for
his
viral
comments
about
One
Direction.
The
former
band
singer
who
appeared
on
Logan
Paul's
podcast,
had
claimed
that
the
band
was
built
around
him.
The
singer
also
went
on
to
diss
other
band
members
like
Zayn
Malik
and
Harry
Styles
during
the
interaction.
Now
Lizzo,
who
is
known
to
be
a
good
friend
of
Harry
Styles
took
to
her
TikTok
and
spoke
in
Styles'
defense.
Responding
to
Liam
Payne's
viral
comments,
Lizzo
said,
"I
don't
know
who
lied
to
that
poor
boy,
but
we
all
know
he
was
not
the
frontman."
Lizzo
captioned
the
TikTok
video
with
a
single
emoji
of
a
cup
of
'tea,'
referring
to
the
slang
term
'That's
the
tea'
which
is
synonymous
with
gossip.
For
the
unversed,
while
talking
about
the
origins
of
the
band,
Liam
told
Logan
Paul
that
One
Direction
was
created
in
part
to
"make
things
work" for
him.
"From
what
I've
heard,
part
of
the
reason
One
Direction
was
made
was
because
of
Simon's
promise
to
me,"
said
Payne.
Liam
who
initially
auditioned
on
the
X-Factor
as
a
solo
artist,
said,
"They
stood
there
and
picked
us
out...
and
from
what
I
heard,
part
of
the
reason
One
Direction
was
made
was
because
of
Simon
[Cowell's]
promise
to
me
that
'in
two
years
I'll
make
it
work
for
you,'"
He
had
added,
"He
started
with
my
face
and
then
worked
around
the
rest.
I've
never
told
this
story
before."
One
Direction
brought
Niall
Horan,
Harry
Styles,
Louis
Tomlinson
and
Zayn
Malik
to
fame
along
with
Liam
Payne.
The
band
that
was
formed
in
2010
split
in
2015
when
Zayn
first
decided
to
leave
the
band.
The
group
members
began
solo
careers
with
Harry
and
Zayn
releasing
songs
that
often
hit
the
charts.
