“Swipe to the end to see what I said,” Diplo wrote on Instagram, alongside a clip with the caption: “I’m glad to be part of this”. Diplo, who has produced Beyoncé songs like ‘Run the World (Girls)’ and ‘End of Time’, called himself a “Beyonce stan”, and praised the singer for doing “the work” to find “real producers” for ‘Renaissance’. “What’s important to understand was that her intention was 100%,” he added.
“[Beyoncé] deserves her flowers… and when she won I was just proud to see my nomination on the screen in the huge arena.” Elsewhere, Diplo noted how this year’s ceremony marked the first time the Best Dance/Electronic Music Album category was televised, which he said was a reflection of “one of the strongest years for electronic music.”
Diplo spoke affectionately of the inclusiveness of “the dance music community”, saying it has “united the world during my lifetime”. He continued: “Dance music has and will be the most Inclusive music of our generation… Our community has always been gay / straight, but icy , poor.. white black brown purple.”
