Last month, Diplo posted a picture to his Instagram, hinting that he might be collaborating with Robert Plant.
The picture, which you can see below, was accompanied by the caption “Collab coming soon”. No further information was provided, forcing fans to wonder if it was actually happening, or if it was just Diplo trolling us all.
Turns out, he was trolling us all – initially. In an interview with Kevin & Bean, Diplo said: “I was on tour with Robert Plant down in South America and we never did anything together, I just wrote that on my Instagram. It seemed like it was so insane that no one would take it seriously but now I’m actively going to look for him to do a collaboration.”
“The reason I even approached him backstage is because he beat me for the GRAMMY Record of the Year four years ago,” he continued, “And I told him that was my only chance to get that award and you and Alison Krauss ruined it for me, but I still want to get a photo with you anyway.”
Diplo went on to say that Plant is "so awesome and he has just such a good vibe. He didn't really know who I was but he spent like a half hour talking to me about whatever, and I thought that was just so cool. His excitement about music and his eyes is still there and I love that. It gives me faith in my future, you know?"
