A waiter prosecutors want to charge in connection with Liam Payne‘s death admits he used cocaine with the singer … but insists he didn’t get paid and is NOT a drug dealer.
Braian Paiz told us in our upcoming documentary “TMZ Investigates: Liam Payne: Who’s to Blame?” — airing Monday night at 8 PM ET on FOX — he partied with Liam in the singer’s Buenos Aires Hotel room.
Paiz says they drank whiskey and used the cocaine he brought to the hotel. He says they did it on 2 occasions … the second just 2 days before Liam’s fatal fall from the hotel balcony.
Braian says he saw drugs scattered everywhere … along with the Dove soap box and tin foil widely seen in photos taken after Liam’s death.
Braian says he never accepted money from the singer … and claims he even turned down Payne’s Rolex watch when the star offered it as payment.
