Diplo Admits to Using Drugs During Live CNN Interview on New Year’s Eve

In a surprising moment during CNN’s New Year’s Eve Live, hosted by Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper, American DJ and producer Diplo admitted to being under the influence of drugs, specifically LSD, while on live TV. The unexpected confession occurred during an interview segment that quickly turned into a viral moment.

When Cohen asked, “What’s the most conventional place that you’ve done LSD?” Diplo candidly responded, “Right now. I did some on the helicopter, on the way here.” His reply left both hosts visibly stunned. Cooper burst into laughter, while Cohen, in disbelief, asked, “You’re tripping right now?” Diplo clarified that he was microdosing, saying, “Yeah, but it’s like a light trip.”

The exchange highlighted Diplo’s eccentric and unapologetic personality, which has kept him in the spotlight throughout his career. Known for pushing boundaries both musically and personally, this candid moment was another example of the DJ embracing his unconventional lifestyle.

After the interview, Cooper expressed admiration for Diplo, referring to his “fun, cool lifestyle.” The hosts also marveled at the artist’s ability to perform seamlessly despite his admission. Later that evening, Diplo rang in the New Year with a performance at Avalon Hollywood in Los Angeles, where he delivered an electrifying set to welcome 2025.
