Liam Payne Says He Is Not Homophobic After His Comment Gets Misconstrued
Liam Payne is responding to some Twitter backlash after people were calling him homophobic following a comment he made in a recent One Direction concert.
The 21-year-old singer was introducing the sing “Girl Almighty” and something he said was misconstrued.
“This is my favorite song off the last album, and it is about trying to find that number one woman of your life, which none of you can relate to, ’cause most of you are girls. Except for the boys in here, you know what I’m talking about,” Liam reportedly told the crowd.
