Diplo Posts Selfie With Justin Trudeau, Katy Perry After Claiming He Dated Both

Diplo jokingly claimed to have dated Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau during a viral podcast, sparking amusement and disbelief among fans worldwide.

  • DJ Diplo, Thomas Wesley Pentz, joked on the Smart Girl Dumb Questions podcast that he `did date Trudeau too,` and the clip has gone viral since the episode aired three weeks ago.
  • Their public pairing followed after Katy Perry, 41, and former Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau celebrated her 41st birthday in Paris last month, while Diplo was briefly linked to Perry in 2014 at Coachella and she recently split from Orlando Bloom.
  • During the hour-long conversation about Quebec and Montreal, podcast host Nayeema Raza said `Now Katy Perry is dating Justin Trudeau,` prompting Diplo to call it `pretty fire` and joke he `did date Trudeau too,` while Raza laughed off the Fidel Castro conspiracy as `misinformation.`
  • Clips of the exchange quickly circulated online, prompting amusement and disbelief among social media users and fans, who called the clip funny or `insane` and suggested it was played for laughs.
  • The remarks arrived shortly after Perry seemingly confirmed the romance at a Prague concert on Thursday amid her The Lifetimes Tour and album 143, and Diplo's public persona helped fuel interest.
