This past November, Diplo posted a tweet about Taylor Swift that has lead to a huge deal of controversy and backlash against the electronic producer. The tweet read, “someone should make a kickstarter campaign to get Taylor Swift a booty.” Knowing Diplo, this was intended in a lighthearted manner, but others didn’t take it that way.
Many people came to T-Swift’s defense, including Lorde, who tweeted “Should we do something about your tiny penis while we’re at it hm.”

Diplo discussed the incident with GQ Style, even comparing the devotion of Swift’s followers that he’s experienced to North Korea.
“It’s like an army that’s worse than North Korea… All I know is don’t ever get into a feud with Taylor Swift [again]. She has like 50 million people that will die for her. You can’t step into that arena. That was something I was never prepared for … one of the biggest mistakes of my career was definitely fucking with her.”
The two seem to have patched things up, even taking a selfie at the Grammys.
