“I f–king forever despise [Logan Paul], horrible, horrible little f–ker,” he told the Independent in a candid new interview.

“I think that’s also the problem with some of this new ‘media.’ I would like to think most journalists … some journalists have a duty of care,” the “Night Changes” singer, 33, added.

Page Six has reached out to Paul for comment but did not immediately hear back.

During Payne’s interview with the boxer, 30, for his “Impaulsive” podcast, the “X Factor” alum discussed how Simon Cowell formed One Direction, which consists of Tomlinson, Harry Styles, Zayn Malik and Niall Horan, around him.

At one point, Payne claimed he called Tomlinson “rowdy” and alleged that one unnamed band member once “threw [him] up a wall” backstage at a concert.

The “Teardrops” crooner also heavily criticized his bandmate Malik, 32, saying, “There’s many reasons why I dislike Zayn, and there’s many reasons why I’ll always, always be on his side.”

After backlash from fans, Payne apologized for his comments, saying in part, “I was so angry at what was going on around me … I took it out on everybody else.” He also revealed that he spent 100 days in rehab.

The pop star died in October 2024 after falling off the balcony of his third-story hotel room in Casa Sur Palermo Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina. He was 31.
