Diplo Calls Out Selena Gomez & Zedd’s ‘Fake Relationship,’

[Serendipity 7,821]

Diplo calls a spade a spade. That can sometimes be a godsend in these PR-centric times, especially for those interested in what’s behind celebrity curtains.

In his latest interview — otherwise known as “Sorry, what?!” — the Major Lazer leader and half of EDM super-group Jack Ü with Skrillex, explains his recent, uncompromising verdict on the producer-DJ Zedd’s new True Colors album. He also calls out what he described as Zedd’s “fake relationship with Selena Gomez,” talks Jack Ü’s continuing collaboration withJustin Bieber amid the success of the trio’s chart slayer “Where Are Ü Now,” and more.

Speaking to Radio.com to promote Major Lazer’s new album Peace Is The Mission, Diplo first offered his reasons for tweeting “True colors is such a pile of [poop emoji]” last month.

To hear Diplo tell it, his rough review of Zedd’s new album is down to his disappointment inTrue Colors as a body of work and how Zedd and his record company are marketing it.

“I’m actually not enemies with Zedd by any means,” Diplo insisted to Radio.”I just think that he came from such a cool place and now he’s been pegged as a money-maker for a major label to do EDM, which to me isn’t even a genre.”

Elaborating, Diplo went on to say, “But they’ve pegged him for that, they’ve marketed him, even the fake relationship with Selena Gomez, all the things to sell records took away from the music. He’s an amazing producer and good songwriter. I just feel like… I was hoping he’d come out of the scene and do something.”

 

ot done exploding the minds of the many teen girls who seem to have believed Zeddlena was an authentic romance, Diplo continued, “He [Zedd] had some pop records and I think he was learning how to make great songs through that. So to just kind of like not care and make an album that’s just stereotype… there’s nothing really there for anybody.”

“He’s got a really loud space right now in this culture, there are a lot of people paying attention to him, he can do this awesome music, and to just come out with something so flat and expected and easy for people…

When Skrillex and I came out with the Jack Ü album, we came out with the weirdest s–t we could think of. We’re not about to put out the same songs we did over and over again. You only live once, you know what I’m saying?” Diplo finished.

It’s probably safe to say Zedd and Diplo won’t be exchanging Christmas cards this year.

Selena and Zedd look cute

Diplo don't say that

[JustPokeHerFace 2,564]

Why is it that every time I hear about Dip****, it's not for his music but because he's criticized somebody? 

[Hauser 1,262]

Diplo is way too old to be meddling into these 20-something's relationship, fake or not. Diplo really should be concerned with his own music which is not revolutionary by any means and is instead a bunch of regurgitated dance beats mixed with trap and and he somehow thinks this makes him edgy and innovative. I do have to say that I did expect something better from Zedd with True Colors, it sounds dated.

[Staryu 6,162]

Idk about that relationship, but Diplo is right about Zedd's career. True Colors was a very predictable record.

[Stephen 30,423]

I agree. True Colors is basic and predictable 

[Allan 3,875]

He shouldn't be bothering about anyone's relationships but yeah, he's pretty much right about Zedd's career *listens to Dovregubben*

[Bradley 59,023]

Guys calm down though, obviously Diplo wasn't shading Zedd but his label, well maybe Zedd as well but not in an antagonistic way. Now I understand why Zedd never admitted to his and Selena's relationship and suddenly everything's stopped progressing between the two. Thank God Gaga and R.Kelly never faked a relationship.

He need to chill though, this kind of marketing is not new.

So many people before Zeddlena doing this before.

And it is beyond the music business too.

[Jed 7,716]

I'm very glad to see people calling attention to this I saw through that relationship **** in a heartbeat.

[KrisFromMars 9]

I was rooting for Anton with True Colors

 

Because the writing and production on his album Clarity was amazing! Lost At Sea, Clarity, Spectrum were my favorites this new album sounds like some old David Guetta lost archives type ****

​Exactly, it's nothing new.

And Diplo needs to get off of Zedd's d and worry about his own work, most of it is not that innovative either. I've lost count over how many times Dip has talked **** about somebody.

[Brandon 457]

I didn't know he was part of Major Laser. Too bad he is such a d.ck tho. 

[Kanye West 1,676]

doesnt surprise me sis

[GagaMyBlood95 9,915]

I didn't know he was part of Major Laser. Too bad he is such a d.ck tho. 

​Me neither, I am so surprised!

[Pop 4,541]

Why is Diplo always so ****ing pressed?

As if his relationship with Madonna and Katy aren't fake, you know they are only ****ing him for the free beats.
