In the wake of Liam Payne's tragic death, a 2017 video has surfaced, reviving conspiracy theories linking his death to rapper Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. The former One Direction star, who died after a fall from a hotel balcony in Argentina, had previously recounted a creepy encounter with Diddy that has fans buzzing.
During an appearance on The Graham Norton Show, Payne shared a chilling moment at a party: ‘I went to chat with him and Jay-Z, and when I shook his hand, he just chuckled... [Diddy had] the most sinister laugh I’ve ever heard.’
This resurfacing has fueled speculation, especially with Diddy facing federal charges related to sex trafficking and racketeering. Coincidence or connection? The conspiracy theories are running wild!
‘So, I’m a little bit fearful of that man,’ as the encounter left him unsettled.
Payne then recounted that Diddy held his hand for an excessively long time, truly ‘the longest handshake ever.’
Payne was left wondering, ‘When is this going to end?’ after an awkwardly prolonged handshake with Diddy left him feeling uneasy.
Diddy’s ongoing legal troubles have ignited a firestorm of wild conspiracy theories. Fans have speculated that Payne’s sudden and mysterious death could be linked to the music mogul. Social media users, particularly on X (formerly Twitter), are drawing connections between Payne’s comments about Diddy and his untimely demise, suggesting, ‘Liam talks about Diddy, everyone tries to hush him, and now he dies mysteriously?! Connect the dots!’
One user added, ‘There’s no such thing as an accident in the music industry. Liam’s ‘fall’ was a warning to others. Too many stars have left us under suspicious circumstances. Liam's fall is just another tragic chapter in this eerie tale.’ They even expressed skepticism about any death involving people close to Diddy.
But it wasn't just in one interview that Payne mentioned this unsettling encounter. In another chat with KIIS FM's Kyle and Jackie O back in 2017, he described his Diddy moment as ‘the most daunting celebrity experience,’ recalling that strange handshake and Diddy’s creepy chuckle. He initially thought approaching Diddy would be the safest bet out of the trio, but in hindsight, he realized he had ‘missed the mark.’
Meanwhile, Buenos Aires Security Ministry communications director Pablo Policicchio stated that Payne ‘had jumped from the balcony of his room’ on the third floor of CasaSur Palermo Hotel.
