Diplo’s cheeky selfie with Justin Trudeau sparks Katy Perry buzz

Diplo jokes about dating Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau, sharing a playful selfie referencing “The One That Got Away”

Diplo is once again blending humor and chaos, sparking headlines after making a tongue-in-cheek claim about dating both Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau — then doubling down with a playful selfie.

The 46-year-old DJ appeared on the Smart Girl Dumb Questions podcast, where he made a surprising remark about Perry and Trudeau. “And now Katy Perry is dating Justin Trudeau,” Diplo said casually, prompting the host to agree before he interrupted with, “Dated Katy Perry like me.”

When the host clarified that she meant Trudeau, Diplo didn’t miss a beat. “Oh, I did date Trudeau, too. That was a weird one though… I’m not into politicians,” he joked. The moment quickly went viral across social media, with fans debating whether Diplo was joking or spilling unexpected tea.

The podcast host later clarified in the YouTube comments that the DJ’s remarks were entirely in jest, though that didn’t stop people from speculating.

Days later, Diplo leaned into the chaos by posting a selfie with Justin Trudeau on Instagram. The photo, captioned “The one that got away,” referenced one of Katy Perry’s most iconic songs — and sent fans into overdrive.
