They might also be confusing him with Diplo who makes similar sounding stuff.

That’s kinda bogus though

The song was mostly programmed by Madeon

If the programming is the problem then RedOne isn’t the producer of Judas then because 90% of it is pre-made loops he bought from a pack. And they’re fully mastered loops too because you can still today buy the exact pack.

Does Diplo have allegations? I thought people didnt like him because he’s bisexual and in recent years has been more gay than straight on the spectrum. So the straights just don’t f with him anymore.

To my knowledge, he's never publicly identified as anything other than straight. I've only ever seen rumours.

But yeah he has allegations about inappropriate behaviour towards young predominantly black girls and allegations of using his "power" as an established name to take advantage of young predominantly black girls he's collaborating with/mentoring. There's been a few legal cases that got settled or withdrawn before trial.

Oh dang that sucks I didn’t know that.

And yeah I don’t think he’s outrightly said he’s bisexual but some of his former male partners have came forward and said he is, plus he’s said and done stuff that comes across very much queer coded. I’m sure he also was dating a gay p*r star for a bit too.

There have been rumblings around his reputation for awhile, but/and depending on which allegations, there are quite a few references available online; optics-wise it‘s sort of similar to an R. Kelly vantage … where if you know you know and if not, the allegations might appear surprising-yet-inevitable … and, the targets are similar … which is also a more prominent pattern within industry exploitation … but, that said … below is a pretty comprehensive reference / source from an independent outlet

Country music’s cousin festival to Coachella comes up this weekend (4-29 to 5-1) in Indio, California as the 12th Annual Stagecoach Festival will transpire on the famous polo grounds. Along with huge country music superstars such as Thomas Rhett, Luke Combs, and Carrie Underwood headlining the festival, Stagecoach also boasts many of the big names from independent country on the side stage, including Colter Wall, Molly Tuttle, Hayes Carll, and Flatland Cavalry. 

Also returning to Stagecoach this year will be the well-known DJ named Diplo, who will be offering up entertainment Sunday night at the festival’s “Late Night in Palomino” to close out the event. Diplo played the same role at the 2019 Stagecoach Festival, which was the last time the event was held, and right before a rash of women came out making numerous accusations of inappropriate sexual behavior against the DJ, resulting in restraining orders and criminal investigations that somehow Diplo has skirted to keep his acceptance in polite society, while other more native country and Americana stars with significantly less serious infractions and accusations continue to be considered unacceptable, and would never be considered for the Stagecoach lineup this year or any other.

After Multiple Claims … Diplo Accepted at Stagecoach ( via Trigger, SavingCountryMusic.com )

Spoiler

Though many of the revelations are recent, the troubling behavior by Diplo—whose real name is Thomas Pentz—goes back much farther, and commonly involves young Black and brown women, and sometimes young women who are under the age of consent. From 2003 to 2008, Diplo dated British-born rapper M.I.A. who is of Sri Lanken descent. In 2017, M.I.A. accused the DJ of mental abuse, of trying to take credit for her career, of taking credit for songs that weren’t his, of cheating on her, and even of using an image of her as a dart board. How much of that was the embellishment of a jilted ex-lover, and how much was truth is hard to independently verify, but it was the first sign of a more troubling pattern from the famous DJ. 

In October 2020, rapper Azealia Banks spoke out about Diplo, saying on her podcast,  “I used to have sex with Diplo when I was 17 (Diplo was in his 30s). Diplo definitely found me on f—ing Myspace. I always give him credit for f—ing launching my career off, but yeah, I had to give him some teenage *** to do it. He’s always been preying on young ethnic girls.”

The allegations from Azealia Banks came after a woman named Shelly Auguste came forward to accuse Diplo of numerous offenses, including rape, grooming herself and other “very young girls,” hiring a private investigator to harass her and other young women to discourage them from coming forward, and distributing revenge **** against Auguste when she did eventually come forward.

[ … ]

Then in 2021, a fourth woman came forward, claiming she was raped by Diplo in 2019 after a Las Vegas performance, saying Diplo “invited her to a room, kicked out her friends, and would not let her leave until she performed oral sex,” while also filming the encounter. Diplo stanchly denied the claims, and the unnamed accuser dropped the case 10 days later. According to Dilpo’s lawyers, this fourth woman was a friend of Shelly Auguste. 

It’s important to underscore that Diplo has yet to be charged with a crime, though investigations could still be open stemming from the accusations. As we sometimes see with cases of sexual abuse, victims are afraid to come forward due to the public harrassment and rebuke they can receive, and are sometimes paid off for their silence. 

Diplo has a right to be considered innocent until proven guilty, but there is certainly a pattern of behavior that has emerged with at least four women coming forward accusing him of inappropriate behavior, including high profile celebrities in M.I.A. and Azealia Banks. Diplo also once tweeted out, “Low key sent my cv for r kelly sex cult membership,” after sexual accusations that for years R. Kelly was able to keep at bay were finally coming to a head. He later deleted the tweet. 

None of this should necessarily preclude Diplo from being able to work and make public appearances. But the question relevant to country music is why many other major events and festivals are steering clear of Diplo after the revelations, yet the Stagecoach Festival and country music seem to be so embracing and forgiving of Diplo, similar to rapper Nelly’s cozy relationship with CMT. 

[ … ]

Similar to Nelly, Diplo is seen as useful to political apparatchiks who’ve embedded themselves in country music media and culture. Diplo is advantageous to undermining the genre’s sonic boundaries and traditions, allowing otherwise progressive-minded individuals to overlook clear patterns of sexual abuse, while these same individuals regularly accuse country music as an industry of sexism and accepting of predatory behavior. Meanwhile, artists with much less serious accusations against them both in frequency and severity such as Ryan Adams and Stuart Baker (Unknown Hinson) would never be considered for the Stagecoach lineup, or in-depth spreads in country music’s hometown paper, The Tennessean. And despite some other festivals in 2022 being willing to book Diplo, many others continue to steer clear. 

Again, Diplo has every right to work in music just as much as anyone, and to be presumed innocent until proven guilty. But the country music public also has a right to know about an entertainer who has been accused of a dozen different offenses by four different women involving inappropriate sexual behavior, including rape and the grooming of young girls, especially when this is supposedly such a big concern to the same organizations and individuals who are actively promoting the famous DJ, and his important place in country music.

Diplo Revenge Por Allegations: What We Know ( via Shannon Power, Newsweek )

Spoiler

Music producer Diplo is once again being accused of distributing revenge ****.

Diplo, whose given name is Thomas Wesley Pentz, is under review by the Los Angeles city attorney's office after a woman filed a complaint to the city's police department, her second report to police over incidents that allegedly happened from 2019 to 2020.

Shelly Auguste, who has been embroiled in civil litigation with Diplo since 2021, filed the report with the LAPD in August, in which she accused him of distributing nude images of her without her consent and sexual assault. She had also filed a police report in July 2021. The LAPD passed the most recent report on to the attorney's office in November, according to Pitchfork.

In the police report, Auguste said she "believes that [Diplo] is distributing the nude photographs because he is mad at her for recently filing legal action against him. She stated that he wants to harass and embarrass her."

Well, yes. But I thought it was referring to "other" allegations, as is often the case when that phrase is used. What he did to Rita was very significant although the rumour was that she cheated on him so naturally he didn't want her profiting off his work (he did say quote "I had a damn good reason") especially when it involved love songs. But apparently they've quietly made up since and they're respectively married now, so yeah. But the whole set-to he had with Gaga years ago, that really left a sour taste in my mouth. I don't think his style is for Gaga anyway.
