One Direction just kicked off their North American leg of their Where We Are tour, but Liam Payne had other things on his mind this weekend. On Payne's Instagram account, the singer lashed out at haters who have been calling him fat.

Niall Horan 'Can't Wait To See' One Direction's Fans On North American Tour August 1

In one photo on Saturday, Payne posed with what seems like a pillow under his shirt and the caption "I mean OH MY GOD I'm just so fat these days I think I need help! quick someone take the cookie jar"

In another one from Sunday, Payne posted his BMI (Body Mass Index) and wrote, "Now just because I'm sick of seeing this everyday so I just want to clear up what the media do to people these days. Is it wrong to be normal? Or do I have to look like an Olympic swimmer just to get your approval into the cool kids or can I accept that the person I truly love thinks I'm the coolest kid in town anyway? Think I'll vote the second one ;) enjoy your day people"
