Lorde has spoken out in defence of comments against Diplo and his 'tiny penis', after the DJ was accused of 'body shaming' Taylor Swift.
Last week, the DJ started the minor spat by tweeting: “Someone should make a kickstarter to get taylor swift a booty”. As for the internet, it responded by actually initiating a Kickstarter to "Get Taylor Swift A Booty", which has currently raised $45 from 15 contributors.
Lorde however didn't take to kindly to the comment, replying to the tweet:

Diplo, real name Wesley Pentz, has previously remixed 'Tennis Court' and contributed to the Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part One soundtrack along with Lorde. The pair have a close relationship, which Lorde explains gives her more of a right to call him out.
"I love Wes and he's a big brother to me and one of my first friends in the industry, and part of having a friendship with someone like that is not letting them say stupid shit," Lorde told FADER. "Taylor's my friend as well, and I'm a girl, and if I see some weird body-shaming on my feed I'm going to be like, 'Hey man…' We do still love each other, hopefully."
She continued: "I've been notoriously quiet my whole life. So it wasn't until I started to be able to run a board meeting and direct people in the way I wanted things to go that I gained confidence as a leader. As a businessperson, I got confident in saying, 'Hey, this is whack.'"
The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part One soundtrack, curated by Lorde, is out now.
