Former One Direction star Liam Payne shared his candid thoughts on a memorable interaction with Sean ‘P Diddy’ Combs in a recently resurfaced 2017 interview.

Liam, who sadly passed away in October after falling from his hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, told KISS FM that his interaction with the disgraced mogul frightened him.

He explained that Diddy was at a party with Jay-Z and Leonardo DiCaprio when he spotted the three. Excited to meet them, he initially thought Diddy would be the most approachable. However, he quickly realized it wasn’t quite what he expected.

“I went over to speak to him and Jay-Z, and as I shook his hand, he just chuckled… [he had] the most evil laugh I’ve ever heard. So, I’m a little bit fearful of that man. It was like the most daunting celebrity experience that you could ever imagine. I thought P Diddy was a safe bet. Obviously, I missed the mark a little bit.”

Sean Combs, aka Diddy, attends his birthday celebration and new album launch at LAVO on November 9, 2023, in London, England.

The singer noted that Diddy held his hand for a long time while laughing his evil laugh. Liam described it to the hosts as “the longest handshake ever!”

“I sat there looking in P. Diddy’s eyes like ‘When is this going to end,” Liam added.

Diddy is currently facing multiple 𝑠e𝑥ual assault allegations after his September arrest. He has been charged with 𝑠e𝑥 trafficking by force, transportation for prostitution, and racketeering conspiracy, all of which he denies.
