Diplo has labelled Taylor Swift fans the "worst people in the world" in a revealing interview with GQ.
The DJ was asked to address his controversial comments about Swift's posterior which led to Lorde saying he had a "tiny penis". In the interview he starts off saying it was just a joke that got blown out of proportion:
"It’s funny, because me and Lorde, we’re actually friends, and it was a funny, in-jest conversation. So many tabloids used it to make it story, when it was not. Literally, it was such a tongue-in-cheek joke on both sides. I think Taylor Swift is such an impactful character, that it was because she was involved that it became really big.
Diplo soon alludes to a dark side of the pop princess however telling them: "The repercussions are really bad. Like, Taylor Swift fans are really crazy. They threatened to murder me and stuff. It’s really bizarre, and disgusting. They’re the worst people in the world."
He goes on to add: They’re like “I wish your kids had Down syndrome.” They’re so evil. I dissed Lady Gaga before, and the gays were never even this mean. They’re funny. These people are like mean-spirited, evil human beings. I’m not a politician. I shouldn’t have to be under the microscope for people like that.
"She has like forty million Twitter fans. Forty million! Yeah. It’s crazy. I’m a fan though. Her powers — she’s big. She’s strong, bro. Taylor Swift is very strategic with her friends and enemies. And I know lots of secrets. I can’t divulge, but I know a lot of stuff about her. And she’s definitely, there’s definitely scary stuff going on. And I’m scared. I’m scared for my life."
Diplo's definitely got some guts as Swift and her fans surely aren't going to be making his life any easier after this.
