American DJ and record producer Diplo sent the internet into a spin after claiming he once dated both pop star Katy Perry and former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The comment was made during an appearance on the Smart Girl Dumb Questions podcast. The clip went viral on social media, with fans and spectators crafting all kinds of speculations and theories.The hour-long interview was aired three weeks ago, but one particular exchange resurfaced and went viral after Diplo’s surprising claim involving Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau, who recently confirmed their relationship, reports the Poprant.During the podcast, Diplo casually said, “Now Katy Perry is dating Justin Trudeau. Pretty fire.” The host began to respond, saying, “I know some people who have, like—”, before Diplo interrupted with, “Dated Katy Perry, like me.” The host laughed and said, “Wait, did you date Katy Perry? I meant Trudeau,” to which Diplo replied, “I dated Trudeau too.”The comment sent social media into a frenzy, with netizens questioning whether the DJ was being serious. Some fans even began searching for past photos or clues linking Diplo and Trudeau. Others joked that the musician had “unlocked the wildest dating achievement ever.”In reality, Diplo’s remark turned out to be a joke. The podcast’s official YouTube channel later confirmed this in the comments section, replying to a fan’s query: “Lol!! No, that part was a joke.”However, Diplo’s connection to Katy Perry is not entirely made up. The two were briefly linked back in 2014 following Perry’s split from John Mayer. They were spotted together at Coachella and reportedly dated for a few months before parting ways in early 2015. Katy later joked about Diplo in an interview where she ranked her exes, showing there was no bad blood between them.Meanwhile, Katy Perry and Justin Trudeau recently made their relationship official after months of speculation. The pair were photographed holding hands while leaving the Crazy Horse cabaret in Paris last month. Dating rumours first began when Perry was spotted kissing Trudeau aboard her luxury yacht in the Mediterranean in September, with photos published by the Daily Mail showing the singer and the politician engaging in affectionate PDA — Perry in a black swimsuit and Trudeau shirtless in jeans.
