When Beyonce’s album, Renaissance won Best Dance/Electronic Music Album at the 2023 Grammy Awards, Diplo was reported to have yelled “They bought that,” to the person sitting next to him…and fans speculated he was throwing shade at Bey.
Diplo reached out to Hollywood Unlocked to deny throwing shade.
“You know I didn’t say that lol,” Diplo said he wrote.
“Beyoncé[‘s] album was legendary (I’m a Beyoncé stan. Remember I produced some classic dance songs for her, like’ Til the End of Time’ and ‘Girls Run the World’),” he said in an official statement to the outlet. “What’s important to understand was that her intention was 100 percent. She did the work, found the real producers, and she made classics. So, she deserves her flowers, and when she won, I was just proud to see my nomination on the screen in the huge arena.”
Bey has not responded to his alleged shade but the BeyHive tore him up on social media.
