The famed producer and DJ gets candid about his sexuality.

A celebrity's sexual orientation interests their fans, and Diplo's podcast reveal has pop culture talking. The famed producer and DJ's relationship exploits have been at the center of gossip throughout his lengthy career. Yet, his recent admission has sparked conversations. Diplo hasn't explicitly spoken about his sexual orientation, but on Emily Ratajkowski's High Low podcast, the pair jumped into the topic.

Ratajkowski and Diplo directed the conversation to the producer's preferences. He stated he wasn't "aroused by men that much," which piqued the podcast host's interest. As any interviewer would do, she pressed him a bit, hoping he would expound on his comments. He quickly added, "I'm sure I've gotten a blowjob from a guy before." Ratajkowski questioned if he was sure about that on speculating. It seemed as if Diplo couldn't actually confirm the encounter.

There seem to be more than enough men at Diplo's disposal, especially "sexy" ones that are easily found on his social media. Although he admits they're "hot guys," he added, "I don’t know if that’s gonna be the thing that’s gonna send me over to the gay side totally.” Expectedly, Ratajkowski wanted Diplo to explain further, particularly how he personally identifies himself, if he has any title, at all.

He said his attractions are more about "vibe" than "gender," which doesn't come as a surprise considering his past. “I think the best answer I have is I’m not not gay," he answered. "There are a couple guys," he then added, "I could date, life partner-wise.”

Everyone's A "Lil Gay"

Meanwhile, Ratajkowski shared in her November 2022 Harper's Bazaar feature that she's bisexual. "I think sexuality is on a sliding scale," she told the publication. "I don't really believe in straight people." A similar sentiment was shared by Diplo almost 10 years ago on Reddit. The musician said he believed everyone's a "lil gay," but wouldn't go as far as labeling himself or his sexuality. It looks as if he carries similar sentiments to this day. Check out the clip of Diplo and Emily Ratajkowski's conversation above, as well as the full episode of her podcast.
