Diplo

On our last cover we featured Diplo, who aside from being a cool guy and a talented musician, is part of the whole M.I.A/New York Times shitstorm. The article featured M.I.A eating french fries cooked in truffle oil while the writer paints her as some sort of Chardonnay-sipping fake revolutionary. Well, the whole thing has caused quite an online kerfuffle and Diplo was quoted a few times in the piece and he said some nasty things. Well it’s time to take this guy down a notch or two. During our interview and photoshoot with him we can confirm that Diplo drank fine $12/bottle wine with a straw. He also feasted on an ornate spread of Lebanese food from Nuba that consisted of falafel, tabouleh, chicken tawook and some hummus on pita bread. After the interview, Diplo was driven by our publisher in her fancy Ford family van to another restaurant to meet friends for a second, undoubtedly extravagant, meal. Diplo’s response to the controversy which we are tentatively calling Nubagate, was “Errrr waking up on a flight witha (sic) giant boner is not as cool as it sounds.”

Editors’ Note: We made most of the interview up and stuff he did say wasn’t presented in order. We didn’t think readers or Diplo would care. Sorry for not explicitly stating that in the piece. Also, the airplane boner quote was just some random tweet we pulled from Diplo’s Twitter account.
