As the man behind MIA‘s ‘Paperplanes’, Beyonce‘s ‘Run The World’ and Usher’s ‘Climax‘, Diplo‘s influence in the industry has always been far and wide reaching.
Now find out what he has to say about Chris Brown, whom he worked with on 2011′s ‘Look At Me Now’, below…
On Mr. ‘Fame‘ he revealed:
I’m not a circuit-court judge or anything. He served his sentence. What else can you do? I do think he’s an a**hole – like, at the Grammys, he could have been more graceful. But he’s an artist. He’s good at what he does.
Sure to ruffle many a Team Breezy feather, his comments come two months before the release of Brown’s May release, ‘Fortune’ and weeks after the star came under fire for collaborating with ex love Rihanna, following their split in 2009.
So what do you think?

I’m not a fan of Chris but damn people treat the guy like he is the devil and he beats the Virgin Mary, C’mon yes he is arrogant, yes he need to humble himself but for God sake he is human.

I don’t understand how he was an asshole at the grammys for simply winning an award? Maybe he meant afterwards, idk… These ppl kill me.

this is not a diss- he says that chris is “good at what he does” – this isn’t ruffling feathers, this is just someone saying what they think. & chris calls himself the bad boy of R&B- of course that can come off a bit asshole-ish sometimes but so what, diplo’s remarks aren’t preventing chris or team breezy from doing what they’ve always done- keep chris on top.

He didn’t slam him. Fishing for hits TGJ, and it worked. He said he’s a good artists that can be full of himself. It’s the truth, and that’s coming from a CB fan. He’s great, but he can come off as immature, and he needs to work on that.

He’s speakin the truth! People always act like his incident with Rihanna is the only reason people dislike him, but they seem to ignore the fact that he threw a chair out of a window and is just a jerk in general.

i dislike him for many reasons, including being a woman beater. i dislike him for using MJ’s death to get sympathy points and revive his career with all of the tributes etc, i dislike him because he claims to be r&b but he is far from it. i dislike him because he isnt a true artist, doesnt write, lip syncs and autotunes.

I agree and diplo is entitled to his opinion but i just find it bizarre after they worked together on one of the biggest hits of 2011 it’s odd to me

People here posting stupid comments based on what Diplo said like @Common? What was so arrogant about his speech? he probably meant afterwards backstage chris doesnt sit with the audience nowadays.
I’m Teambreezy and I know chris boasts alot about wealth and is immature but I like him coz his smart and talented,so people just want to hate him for anything! you losers! the only negative about him is he needs to stay humbe.

It would be hard to hate Chris if he wasnt such an ass, Im sure Diplo ment that twitter message chris sent after he won but who knows he might have been acting like an ass behind the stage at the Grammy’s. Who knows if that “can I have your number i promise i wont hit you” pick up line he supposedly said is true I wouldnt doubt it. He needs to grow his dumb ass up, hes a great performer and writes his own music but dude needs to grow up.

I mean it’s his opinion so whatever. Why now say something though. When did Chris act like an ass at the grammy’s. He accepted his award,and thanked his fans so wtf he talking about.

Seems like this WHITE ASSHOLE is doing what WHITE ARROGANT ASSHOLES IN AMERICA DO both male and female. They pile up and gang up on YOUNG BLACK MALES who are all deemed EVIL, ARROGANT, NON-HUMBLED, & “SUSPICIOUS”…..

@danny b
Nothing went on backsatge he smiled for the cameras and walked away as HE HAD ALREADY ANNOUNCED THAT HE WOULD NOT BE DOING INTERVIEWS IN 2012!
This son of a b*tch is just feeding into the RACIST MEDIA’S constant attack on Chris Brown. He probably wanted to be on FORTUNE Chris upcoming CD but CHRIS may have gone in a different set of producer. These producers and DJ get mad when you elect not to work with them!
RACISM IS A SICKENESS! Don’t be fooled by a racist selecting certain BLACKS to highlight and praise like an Usher while teaing down other blacks like CHRIS BROWN. Divide conquer is an old widely used SCHEME!
RIP TREYVON “SUSPICIOUS HOODIE WEARING BLACK MALE” MARTIN.
I JUST HOPE I WANT HAVE TO SOON BE SAYING RIP “SUSPICIOUS, ANGRY, ARROGANT BLACK MALE” CHRIS BROWN!

ITS FUNNY AS HELL HOW WHITE AMERICA CAN MAKE A YOUNG BLACK MALE INTO THE DEVIL BY USING THE MEDIA THAT THEY OWN AND CONTROL WITH AN IRON FIST!
BLACK PPL ARE PROGRESSING TO BE THE DUMBEST, WEAKEST CLUSTER ON THE PLANET THAT’S WHY THEY CAN MAKE FUN OF YOUR WEIGHT, HAIR TEXTURE, SKIN COLOR, STYLE OF DRESS, SPEECH, CALL YOU ARROGANT, COCKY, SUSPICIOUS AND EVEN KILL YOU FOR SPORT. THEN ON TO THE NEXT TO USE, HUMILATE, DESTROY, AND KILL.
SMFH…WAKE THE HELL UP AND SEE THE SCHEME BEFORE WE HAVE TO BURY YET ANOTHER!

I just wanted to say that I wish blogs would stop using the phrase “slam” every time someone says something negative-ish about another. Please be creative and come up with another word, it’s like these blogs are all copy + paste of each other.
Oh and did something else happen at the Grammys that the public didn’t see? Did Chris Brown not thank Diplo? that may be it!

I love Diplo as a producer, but the public does not want or need your opinion on an artist who put a shitload of money in your pocket. Stay behind the scenes. No one cares.
