      Isn’t diplo a pedo? Not surprised at all by his shitty takes anymore.

      does it surprise anyone that Diplo doesn’t have a moral compass re: using things that aren’t his?

      All I know is he hangs out with RFK Jr so I assume he probably has brainworms and abuses women.

      Diplo is on an extended crash out attacking another creator, @zack_telander, on instagram because he made fun of him for sucking on this issue. Embarrassing for someone of his stature in the industry.

    5. Shame that years ago I really loved Diplo music and this makes me question every song of his I’ve ever listened to and enjoyed (thank u for never putting Long Way Home feat Edward Droste and Rostam on Spotify so I’m not paying ur dumbass pennies whenever I listen to it, I guess)

      People have known for years that his entire career, dare I say existence has been leeching off other cultures.

      This should surprise no one

      My question is why are producers having to turn to AI to begin with? I’m not sure when or why the explosion of AI generated music started but it’s super weird and Diplo’s response shows not only that he won’t be concerned until it affects him. And IMO, when he mentions the numbers, it sounds like he’s saying producers can throw words into their AI chatbot like pickle, sand, bacon, shark, add a nice beat, a catchy title and people will eat it up because they don’t value artistry anymore.

    8. This dude has a long and storied history of abusing minors. Check youtuber sloan’s interview with Shelly.

    9. He sees black women and girls as objects and not human beings, so this isn’t surprising.

    10. Knew nothing about Diplo until like last week. Have to say i’m not surprised by how much of a tool he is

    11. As a long time Stick Figure fan, that asshole stole from Stick Figure. Crazy that an ‘artist’ would endorse that kind of shit

      can someone just feed his discography into the machine and go ham with it so we can make him retire.
