According to Liam, he approached Diddy, Jay-Z, and Leonardo DiCaprio, figuring Diddy seemed like the “safe bet” for a handshake.

It wasn’t just the laugh that threw Payne off. The rapper held onto his hand far longer than socially acceptable.

“It was the longest handshake ever,” Payne said, explaining that he just stood there, locked in an awkward grip.

At that moment, Payne was stuck thinking, “When is this going to end?”

“You’re not allowed to lean in,” Payne recounted as the audience burst into laughter.
