One Direction’s Liam Payne’s ‘bad’ encounter with Diddy resurfaces after cause of death linked to ‘pink cocaine’ also found at rappers’ parties
Confusion and theories surrounding the sudden and tragic death of One Direction singer Liam Payne have intensified after details of his final moments were revealed online.
Payne, 31, was pronounced dead on October 16 after his body fell from a third-floor hotel balcony in Buenos Aires, Argentina. Some reports suggest the fatal accident was the result of a fall, while others suggested an alleged mishap.
Regardless of these contradictory claims, the newly published toxicological findings have at least make clear the state of mind Payne can have been in at the time.
Payne is claimed to have left his room in ruins and was behaving under the influence of alcohol. Hotel employees told an area website that they were concerned concerning the human well-being.
“We have a guest under the influence of drugs and alcohol,” the hotel manager said in the course of the call. “When he’s conscious, he’s destroying everything in the room,” a concerned hotel reception manager told emergency dispatchers recorded call received by ABC News.
“We need to send someone urgently because I don’t know if the guest’s life is in danger because he is in a room with a balcony and we are afraid he may do something that will endanger his life.”
Payne was pronounced dead at the scene after his body was discovered within the hotel’s interior courtyard, 42-45 feet below. Clonazepam, a drug used to treat panic disorder, epilepsy and nonconvulsive status epilepticus, and an unidentified white powder were found in Payne’s room.
AND preliminary report revealed that at the time of his death, Payne had traces of cocaine, benzodiazepines, crack cocaine and “pink cocaine” (or TUCI), a mixture of methamphetamine, ketamine and MDMA, in his system. “Pink cocaine,” despite its name, often doesn’t contain any cocaine and owes its pink hue to food dyes.
Recreational drugs have been within the news since November, when Sean “Diddy” Combs landed in legal trouble on charges of sex trafficking, racketeering and other illegal activities.
Federal prosecutors told a judge that bags of pink powder were found in the course of the arrest within the music mogul’s New York hotel room. It is alleged that he routinely took the drug and supplied it to his freak friends.
In September, the disgraced music mogul was arrested at a New York hotel and charged in connection with the continuing investigation. He stays detained at the Brooklyn Detention Center and awaits a May 2025 hearing.
With these latest insights, the pop star’s “What Makes You Beautiful” story told on “The Grahm Norton Show” got here to light and, satirically, he shared the story of his terrifying encounter with Combs.
In the 2018 clip, guest comedian David Williams recalls a clumsy encounter with late musician Prince. Payne then responded by sharing that he had an analogous experience when he met Diddy.
As Payne recalled, “I went to say hello to P. Diddy, and Jay-Z was there, and Leonardo DiCaprio was sitting on the right,” he was jokingly interrupted by Williams, who said, “We don’t need to hear about the other people in the room. Just focus on the people this story is about.”
The audience, Norton, Payne, Williams and “Frida” actress Salma Hayek, who was also a guest, all laughed.
The singer said that as he approached the group of stars, he tried to determine “who was the easy target in the script. Who are you going to say hello to? I think I saw him in Take Him to the Greek. I’ll go there and say hello to him.”
The story continued: “I went to shake his hand, and I shook his hand, and he just said, ‘Oh, nice to meet you,’” and commenced giggling “for the longest time ever,” leaving Payne feeling disturbed. He further explained, “I was sitting there like I was looking into P. Diddy’s eyes and saying, when is this going to end?”
The “What Makes You Beautiful” singer revealed that his worst moment was when he leaned in to talk to fellow mogul Jay-Z and was as a substitute pushed across the room by a security guard.
Before appearing on the Graham Norton Show, Payne shared the story with an Australian radio station KIIS FM Kyle and Jackie O Show in 2017
“I went to talk to him and Jay-Z, and when I shook his hand, he just chuckled… the most evil laugh I’ve ever heard,” Payne said. “That’s why I’m a little afraid of this man.”
He continued: “It was the most intimidating celebrity experience you could imagine.” addition“I believed P. Diddy was a protected bet. Of course, I missed some.

In hindsight, some fans imagine the otherwise innocuous account was a warning sign. Elsewhere, the comments under the video read: “Liam, Diddy…none of it aged well.”
Another person suggested that Hayek seemed concerned as Payne told his story, prompting many to agree: “As soon as P. Diddy was mentioned, look at Salma’s face,” one comment read. “Did anyone else notice how uncomfortable Salma felt when Liam talked about Diddy? You could see from her face that she didn’t want to hear the story, and then she quickly tried to connect with Liam by adding the name Prince; she quickly changed the subject; I think she knows things,” one other commenter suggested.
But much more fans got here to Payne’s defense, hoping that his death and the nefarious claims mounting against Diddy would not make a much bigger spectacle following the young man’s death.
“Please give him a rest, he’s gone,” we read in a single of the comments. The final results of the autopsy are actually known.
