Famous DJ and music producer Diplo went viral online after his sit-down with Emily Ratajkowski for her podcast High Low on Tuesday, March 14, 2023.
Speaking about his sexuality, the 44-year-old stated:
"I don't want to define that I'm gay but I'm not, not gay. I'm not really aroused by men, that I know about... I'm sure I've gotten a bl*wjob from a guy before."
In response, model and author Emily Ratajkowski prompted him to commit to an answer, to which Diplo replied:
"For sure. I don't know if it's gay unless you make eye contact while there's a bl*wjob happening."
As news of the podcast interview spread, a slew of reactions were seen online, both in support and against. One user @GoddessofMars2 remarked that this was just a marketing strategy, stating:

Other users spoke in support of the music producer, stating that it was alright to be conflicted about sexual preferences. One user @LMupstate, however, was of the opinion:
"The word is Bi... not sure why people have such a hard time recognizing it; it's right between the G and T of LGBTQ+"

Elaborating on his preferences, he said:
"The wood-chopping guy is kinda sexy. They're hot guys, but I don't know if that's gonna be the thing that's gonna set me over into the gay side, totally, is the wood-choppers, but they're pretty hot guys."
He also stated that he could see himself dating a "couple of guys" in terms of a "life partner."
