Diplo Drops LSD Bombshell on CNN’s New Year’s Eve Broadcast
In a surprising revelation during CNN’s New Year’s Eve coverage, DJ Diplo, 46, openly admitted to being “tripping” on LSD. Co-hosts Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper couldn’t believe their ears as Diplo made this candid confession during a virtual segment from Los Angeles, just before his scheduled set at Avalon Hollywood.
When Cohen asked, “What’s the most unconventional place you’ve done LSD?” Diplo took a brief pause before bursting into laughter, stating, “Right now. I did some on the helicopter on the way here.” The shocking admission prompted Cohen to exclaim, “Right now?!” while a laughing Cooper nearly fell over in disbelief.
Diplo clarified that he was enjoying a “light trip” due to his practice of microdosing the psychedelic, though he sheepishly mentioned, “I might have macrodosed earlier” in the day. Cohen, still processing the moment, marveled at Diplo’s lifestyle, saying, “I wish I was Diplo. I just think he has a fun, cool lifestyle.” Cooper jokingly lamented his comparatively dull routine before humorously cautioning viewers, “We don’t recommend this at home.”
The live interview quickly became a highlight of CNN’s New Year’s Eve festivities, demonstrating Diplo’s unapologetic approach to life, leaving audiences both entertained and bewildered as they celebrated the arrival of 2025.
