The tragic death of Liam Payne has sent the internet on a wild plunge of conspiracy theories, with some thinking his passing could have to do with his strange meeting with hip-hop mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs. Internet sleuths are weaving speculative stories round Payne’s death hours after, 31, perished after a fatal fall from his hotel balcony from the CasaSur Hotel in Buenos Aires, following his unsettling meeting with Diddy, 50, years ago.
After a resurfaced clip from 2017 of The Graham Norton Show started circulating, the bizarre theories started to pick up speed. Liam Payne also remembered his awkward moment when Diddy showed up to a celebrity party. Singer Payne humorously recalled the rapper gave him the ‘longest handshake ever,’ had the ‘most evil laugh’, which made the singer feel uneasy. The other awkward moment also featured Jay Z, as his bodyguard shoved Payne away when he attempted to chat to the rap star.
The encounter was obviously a lighthearted bit of reminiscing, but conspiracy theorists are now suggesting there is a villainous link between that moment and Payne’s recent demise. Social media users have speculated, without evidence, that Diddy’s likely meeting with him may have had a larger impact, particularly as Diddy is facing charges involving sex trafficking and racketeering.
‘Look Liam Payne met Diddy and now he’s dead,’ wrote one online user. Some were quick to note that’s no coincidence, while others wondered whether or not Liam Payne could be a potential witness in Diddy’s upcoming trial. But another user then reposted the Graham Norton Show clip, adding: ‘Liam was talking about Diddy, and then he’s gone.’
Liam Payne’s death continues to be probed as he was alone at the time of his fall with multiple injuries and internal hemorrhaging. The National Criminal and Correctional Prosecutor’s Office in Argentina has confirmed the singer probably fell from a height of 45 feet (Three metres). No signs of third party involvement have been found in forensic reports, and the autopsy matches up with a fall.
However, some theorists are still connecting the tragedy to Diddy and wondering about what mysterious circumstances. Despite the fact that Liam Payne died on Thursday. The Argentine authorities are still hunting for two women who were with the One Direction star only a matter of hours earlier, suggesting they had nothing to do with the fatal accident. However, the women, who were seen waiting in the hotel lobby the night of the death, may be able to help investigators plot Payne’s final hours.
And hotel guests have come forward to add to the speculation by telling of the violent noises they heard coming from Liam Payne’s room, just hours before the fall. Another guest said he heard loud banging, heavy lifting, and then a violent scream.
Payne’s passing has devastated fans, as police continue investigation. Bear Turner, 7, his son with ex Cheryl Cole, survived him.
