Sam Pounds Holds Back Liam Payne’s Final Single to Honor Family’s Wishes
Music producer Sam Pounds, who worked closely with Liam Payne on what would have been his last single, “Do No Wrong,” has decided to delay its release. Initially set to debut this Friday, the track will now remain unreleased until Payne’s family determines the right time to share it—if they choose to do so.
Pounds, a producer known for collaborations with stars like Jamie Foxx and Wiz Khalifa, announced on X, “Today I’m deciding to hold Do No Wrong and leave those liberties up to all family members. I want all proceeds to go to a charity of their choosing (or however they desire).” Pounds added that while he loves the track, he feels “it’s simply not the time yet” as Payne’s loved ones continue to mourn, saying, “We will all wait.”
Originally, Pounds had hoped the release could be a fitting tribute to Payne’s legacy. However, he later pulled back his posts about the single’s release, recognizing that the timing felt too soon after Payne’s tragic passing.
Payne, a beloved member of the former boy band One Direction, contributed to five chart-topping albums with the group and later pursued a solo career, releasing LP1 in 2019. His final project, a Netflix singing competition series called Building the Band, is also on hold as the music world and Payne’s family cope with his loss.
Liam Payne is remembered by his parents, Geoff and Karen, his sisters Ruth and Nicola, and his 7-year-old son, Bear.
It has been reported that a Nigerian won the 2026 Spelling Bee World Championship, which was held in Shanghai, China. The winner, Chinedu Great Okdediachi, has now returned home to Delta State after his victory.
It can be noted that the student had already emerged as one of the Gold Award winners in the Middle School Group category.
“Congratulations once again, Chinedu! Your success continues to inspire young Nigerians to pursue excellence through education. Welcome home, Champion!”
The young star has made Nigeria proud by winning the international competition.
President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has stated that his administration’s economic reforms have helped stabilise Nigeria’s economy and placed the country on a path toward steady growth.
He said “My reforms have stabilised Nigeria’s economy and put it on a path of steady growth.”
The President added that the reforms are creating more opportunities for development across the country.
However, many Nigerians reacted online, with some questioning the impact of the reforms and saying they have yet to experience the positive effects.
Nigerian politician and FCT Minister, Nyesom Wike, has said that he is aware many civil servants do not like him.
He shared that he understands why he is unpopular among some civil servants, explaining that funds previously spent on unnecessary conferences are now being redirected to road construction projects.
He said “Some people say conferences for corruption and I say what is that? You are going for conferences to do what? These are ways government funds are being diverted. I say put this money in this road here and the people will get the impact.”
