Alleged drug dealer speaks out after Liam Payne's death as tributes pour in at MTV EMAs

Liam Payne's alleged drug dealer, Braian Nahuel Paiz, has spoken out following the singer's death. Paiz, charged with supplying drugs, denied giving Payne any substances and described their meetings as friendly, claiming they only shared whiskey and marijuana. Paiz recounted two meetings with Payne before his fatal fall on October 16. He stated that Payne appeared paranoid in the days leading up to his death and had asked to meet again, but Paiz declined due to work commitments. The investigation into Payne's death continues, with three suspects charged. An autopsy revealed Payne had alcohol, cocaine, and a prescription antidepressant in his system. Rita Ora paid tribute to Payne during the MTV Europe Music Awards, remembering him as a kind and joyful person.
