The acclaimed producer and DJ, Diplo, has responded to recent speculation about his reaction to Beyoncé’s win at the last Grammy Awards.
The musician took home the prize for Best Dance/Electronic Music Album, and a video of Diplo—who was nominated in the same category—seemed to show him mouthing the phrase “they bought that.”
However, in a recent Instagram post, Diplo cleared up the speculation by sharing the clip and subtitling himself with the milder phrase “I’m glad to be part of this.”
In the post’s caption, he praises Beyoncé and is proud that his own nominations have made it to the screen in such a big arena.
“She deserves her flowers,” he wrote in the caption. “When she won, I was just proud to see my nomination on the screen in the huge arena.”
This response from Diplo reflects his great respect for Beyoncé and her accomplishments. The singer is widely regarded as one of the greatest artists of our time and her recent awards are a testament to her talent and hard work.
Diplo has made it clear that he is proud to work with Beyoncé and that he regards her as a true legend, despite the rumors surrounding his response.
This latest statement of support is just one reason fans of both artists can look forward to continued collaborations in the future.

Diplo’s Grammy Award nomination for Best Dance/Electronic Music Album demonstrates his enduring influence and relevance in the music industry. Throughout his career, he has teamed with some of the most in-demand names in music, including Beyoncé, Madonna, and Major His Lazer.
“Dance music has and will be the most Inclusive music of our generation,” he said in part. “Our community has always been gay / straight, but icy , poor.. white black brown purple .. it’s the music that had united the world during my lifetime and i’m glad to just be one part of it.”
In the post’s caption, Diplo showed his appreciation for the recognition from the Grammy Awards, noting that it was a proud moment for him to see his nomination displayed on the screen in the huge arena.
He also expressed his support for Beyoncé, who won the award in the same category, stating that she deserved her flowers.
Diplo released his Grammy-nominated self-titled album last year while facing ongoing legal cases regarding allegations of sexual battery and gender violence, which he denies.
In September, he emerged victorious in a ruling against his accuser, who was found to have breached the dual restraining orders that were in place between them.
