DJ and producer Diplo raised eyebrows this week after joking he once dated both singer Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
The 46-year-old made the claim during a recent appearance on the Smart Girl Dumb Questions podcast, where the topic of Perry’s new relationship came up. “And now Katy Perry is dating Justin,” Diplo said. “Pretty fire.”
Podcast host Nayeema Raza began to respond before Diplo, who was once high on LSD during a celebrity.land broadcast, interrupted.
“Dated Katy Perry, like me?” he asked. “I did.”
When Raza clarified she meant Trudeau, Diplo doubled down.
“I did date Trudeau too,” he said, later adding, “That was a weird one though. I’m not into politicians.”
Raza replied that she found Trudeau attractive. “He is kind of hot,” Diplo agreed.
The podcast has since clarified that Diplo was joking.
A fan had commented on YouTube, “He dated Trudeau????” The show responded, “Lol, he’s making a joke.”
While the comment about Trudeau appears to be in jest, Diplo was briefly linked to Perry in 2014.
At the time, the two were spotted together in New York City, prompting speculation about their relationship.
One said they were friends, while another told E! News the two had chemistry and met while discussing potential music collaborations.

The comments come days after Perry, 41, confirmed she is dating Trudeau, 53, during a stop on her Lifetimes Tour in Prague.
A video shared on TikTok shows the singer addressing a fan in the audience holding a sign asking to marry her.
“No! I am dating someone else, for crying out f—ing loud,” she told the crowd.
Perry and Trudeau were first spotted together at a Montreal restaurant in July.
They went public with their relationship during a recent trip to Paris to celebrate Perry’s birthday.
