Netizens cancel Logan Paul for Zayn Malik comments
As the Flagrant podcast clip went viral at the same time when Paul’s Impaulsive episode with Payne was still a topic of discussion, many lashed out at the YouTuber for his comments on Zayn Malik.
Ardent supporters of the singer defended him relentlessly on social media. Many found Paul’s comments derogatory as well.

What did Liam Payne say on the Impaulsive podcast?
The pop star appeared on the podcast and spoke about Zayn Malik’s tumultuous relationship with Yolanda Hadid. The British singer also commented on Malik’s upbringing, which left fans furious.
One Direction fans did not appreciate Payne airing out Malik’s dirty laundry. While talking about the Like I Would like singer, Payne said:
“If I had to go through what he went through -- with his growth and whatever else... My parents are overly supportive to the point where it's annoying at times. Zayn had a different upbringing in that sense. You can always look at the man for where he is and say, 'Oh yeah, whatever, that guy's a d**k.' But at the end of the day, once you're understanding what he's been through to get to that point -- and also whether or not he wanted to be there.”
During the episode, Payne added that he could not “commend” Malik’s actions against Yolanda Hadid. He also alluded to trying to help Malik, which the latter rejected.
