Former One Direction star Liam Payne has no one to blame but himself for his latest online mocking after he attempted to turn himself into a meme.

The 24-year-old was ridiculed by fans after he called on them to “make a quote” on his most recent Instagram story.

The seven second clip shows him darting his eyes before the camera zooms in as a man’s hand pushes his face.

He tweeted: “Make a quote and repost my last IG story ... let’s see what we get today.”

But Payne became the butt of the joke as many mocked his terminology with one posting the story alongside the tweet: “When Liam calls ‘caption this’ a ‘quote’.”

Payne replied: “I’m learning.”

Others accused him of being vain with one tweeting: “When you realise Liam just likes to see his meme face many times on his timeline.”

Another posted: “You're desperate to become a meme aren’t ya.”

It comes months after he was ridiculed for bragging about travelling in private jets, telling fans “jet lag” only exists for those who can use the luxury travel, for those he can't he claimed it’s called “plane lag”.

He posted a picture of himself flipping a middle finger to the camera alongside the caption: “You can only get jet lag from a jet the rest of y’all have got plane lag #NOF****.”

Fans mocked the post with many deeming it cringe while others branded Payne an “angry man-child”.

Payne, who recently split from Cheryl, is gearing up for the release of his debut solo album.

He has yet to disclose the title but opened up about it during an interview on Good Morning America. “It is out on the 14th of September, I can tell you that much,” he revealed. “I’m really happy with it, it’s come out really nice.”
