The “fake” Diplo Twitter account is finding itself in some hot water with Jauz, after a real life beef sparked over political tweets and world peace…
The @_diplo_ account, almost exclusively used to promote the real Diplo’s new Viceland show with James Van Der Beek and Dillon Francis —What Would Diplo Do?, is constantly poking fun at the DJ lifestyle. However, Jauz spoke up when he found one tweet in particular to be poorly timed and in bad taste.
@_diplo_ joked that DJ political tweets go something like this: “yo maybe if we just had LOVE instead of HATE we could have world peace and solid vibes.”
And, @Jauzofficial was quick to respond that “Fake Diplo” tweets are always like: “Something negative about DJ’s or EDM that’s funny and everyone can agree on! Watch my tv show!”
We’re beginning to wonder if these Fake Diplo tweets promoting the show are going to cause some real issues for the real Diplo. Get caught up on the entire conversation below…

you provide a lot of inspiration
— Diplo (@_diplo_) August 16, 2017
I’d rather hear it from wes to my face than from some 23 yr old intern , at least then it would feel real

i didnt mean musical inspiration lol, i meant dj behavior that everyone secretly laughs at inspiration
— Diplo (@_diplo_) August 16, 2017
For the record I knew exactly what u meant by inspiration

me: *generic edm cliche*
dj ive never heard of: "THAT IS SPECIFICALLY ABOUT ME!!!"

Even MUST DIE got in on the convo…
No sense arguing with someone literally paid to make fun of us. Show's funny, but straight insults to a good dude are in poor taste.

i dont follow him and didnt see those tweets until now. i tweet generic cliches, thinking those are specifically about you is a self own
— Diplo (@_diplo_) August 16, 2017
We all fit into your jokes because we all live the life of a DJ because we are all DJs. It’s funny but everyone is touchy today. Me too. 🤘🏻
