DJ and music producer Diplo celebrated the arrival of 2025 in a rather unique and oddly confessional way.
While on CNN‘s “New Year’s Eve Live With Andy Cohen & Anderson Cooper” on Tuesday the electronic dancehall artist admitted he was currently on lysergic acid diethylamide, aka LSD, according to reports from The Hollywood Reporter and People.
During their conversation, Cohen asked Diplo, who appeared via video transmission, “What’s the most conventional place that you’ve done LSD?” To which the DJ responded, “Right now. I did some on the helicopter, on the way here.”
All three started laughing, but Diplo insisted it was the truth, adding, “I’m not even lying.”
“You’re tripping right now?’ Cohen asked.
“Yeah, but it’s like a light trip,” the musician said, adding that he had “microdosed” and that he could have “macrodosed” earlier that day.
After the interview was over, Cooper expressed admiration for Diplo, who has worked with M.I.A., Beyonce, Gwen Stefani, Usher, Snoop Dogg, Justin Beiber, Bad Bunny and more.
“I wish I was Diplo. I got to say. I just think he has a fun, cool lifestyle. Can you imagine his lifestyle? ‘I’m Diplo. I do things’,” Anderson said. “I mean … I feel bad about my own boring life compared to Diplo’s. He’s got helicopters and he’s like doing things.”
Diplo gave three performances in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. You can see clips from those shows on his Instagram account.
