Diplo Wants to Make It Clear That He Did Not Throw Shade at Beyonce Following Her Dance/Electronic Music Grammy Win

Diplo denies throwing shade at Beyonce after her album Renaissance won Best Dance/Electronic Music Album last month at the 2023 Grammy Awards.

According to reports, internet lip readers believed the producer said: “They bought that.” However, Diplo cleared that up quickly on Instagram, saying that he actually said was, “I’m glad to be part of this.”

Following a recent episode of the Jason Lee Show, where the alleged diss was brought up again, the producer DM’d Hollywood Unlock to clear his name.

“You know I didn’t say that, lol,” Diplo said, before sharing the official statement he previously made.

“Beyoncé[’s] album was legendary (I’m a Beyoncé stan.  Remember I produced some classic dance songs for her, like ’Til the End of Time’ and ‘Girls Run the World’),” he explained.  “What’s important to understand was that her intention was 100 percent.  She did the work, found the real producers, and she made classics.  So, she deserves her flowers, and when she won, I was just proud to see my nomination on the screen in the huge arena.”
