Diplo has some serious social media game — so much so that Twitter has given him another verified account just to promote his Viceland series What Would Diplo Do? — and it’s freaking hilarious.
His new parody profile @_diplo_ features a photo of James Van Der Beek, who portrays Diplo in the new series. The bio fittingly reads: “random white dude be everywhere, founder of smoothie wolf, feeding the streets since 1885. also in major lazer. new show on @viceland What Would Diplo Do?”
This is some next level Diplo shit. Check out some of the best tweets below, and don’t forget to catch the premiere August 3!

Then came this mind-blowing comparison to Mozart…
mozart was really just a producer of his time when you think about it
— Diplo (@_diplo_) July 18, 2017
Mozart: old as fuck, 0 Grammys, 0 designer belts
Diplo: has a Grammy, almost 40 but looks like he's 30, infinite clout
— chuck (@charliedehaven) July 18, 2017
i technically have 2 grammy's but thats a great point mozart has literally none https://t.co/5G8Oc7GVsH
