Having crafted hits for the likes of Beyonce and Jennifer Lopez, super producer Diplo is naturally in high demand.
So much so that Pop queen Madonna has tapped him to piece together material for her new album.
Speaking to Paper Magazine this week, the 35-year-old elaborated on his approach to working with her Madegesty and interestingly remarked about the sales of her rival Mariah Carey.
His words after the jump…
Via Paper:
“If I’m doing something with Madonna, I’m trying to push the envelope. It’s like the wild west right now. We have someone like DJ Snake [of “Turn Down for What”], who’s selling more than Mariah Carey’s album. He makes music in front of his computer. He’s going triple platinum and Mariah Carey can’t even sell 10,000 copies.”
Far from “shade”, his words reflect truth more than anything else. A shame as ‘Me. I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse’ is an incredible album. Here’s wishing ol’Mimi better fortunes next go round.
As for Madge, we’ll be keeping a close eye on what he’s cooked up for her. Because, recent years have seen her collaborations look great on paper, yet sound more recycle bin in reality.

must every article on this site discuss Mariah’s recent sales while continuing to ignore the fact that JLO is about to receive the title of “biggest flop of the year” and this is coming from both a JLO and MiMi fan.
Mariah: And I was like, why are you so obssed with me?
Obsessed is my jam, and that’s how Mariah should be feeling abotu Sam if she even knows the fool.
Like Jlo said on the breakfast club she or Mariah have nothing to prove I love this site but this bash mariah s*** is getting old and turning me off from this site.
jlow sales has nothing to prove cause her music has always been sh!t
oop! ur pressed because shes 40 and walking circles all around u!!!???
Sam stays on Mariah’s cl-it.
He loves that Mariah c******* !
Does Mariah owe you money, Sam? You hate on her like she owes you 10 bucks or something.
Daily, weak ass shade about Mariah’s sales. Yet you stan for J Lo, Cheryl Cole, Brandy, Ciara and Kelly Rowland. Kiiiiiiii
The only person Sam stans for that actually sells albums is Beyonce.
Y’all sound mighty mad all the artists u mentioned besides mariah still sound the same
Yeah Im getting pretty tired of the constant Mariah shade.
Is it necessary Sam?
Change the name of your site to We Love Beyonce and Hate Mariah Carey. Those are the two things you post aboit DAILY.
Mariah has sold more tha 10,000 so yeah Diplo words have no validity just like (THJ) That Hate Juice! Will Madonna have great music and mature lyrical content is more important than sales. Me. I’am Mariah The Elusive Chanteuse is a great album so Mariah did her part she can’t help it we are in times were fashion, trends, hair color, sales, and etc. out weighs the actually “Music!”
At least Mariah sold twice as much as J’lo with hardly any promotion!
Sam is obsessed with hating Mariah like Perrz does Gaga.
Perez
These Mickey Mouse artists are busy acting like
Mariah doesn’t have two diamond certified albums
Under her belt
Mariah is no longer in her prime what part of that don’t people
Get?
She has achieved so much and influenced so many artists
To do what they are currently doing so instead of focusing
On her current sales y’all should try figure out why the current
Big names today are struggling to to hit platinum status even
Though they have multiple singles charting and huge publicity
Behind them
Diplo is pissed cause Mariah has done many interviews where she said she’s not gonna jump on the EDM bandwagon.
PS. Calling her “ol’mimi” is a weak as fukk attempt at shade.
but diplo doesn’t make EDM so…
That shade from Diplo was unnecessary. Madonna hasn’t exactly been selling bucketloads of albums in the last few years either.
True
MDNA dropped out of the top 40 after 4 weeks
@Gaga’s Tampon
That was 30 years after her debut, not 5 years.
Oh I see the shade!! 😆
S****** trash will ALWAYS make excuses for Thotdonna
I bet the reason Sam hates Mariah is because he asked for an interview and Mariah replied,” I don’t know her”. LMFAO !!
That was unnecessary from his part, album sales are at its lowest point, as for Madonna, she has worked with so many different producers that the only thing i can expect is to have so much diversity, i expect, R&B, Urban, Dance-Pop, Country-Folk, Electronica, Ballads, and some Rock tunes, all in one, i’m curious about, what would she do next?, how could she surprise us again?, no matter how the it turn out to be, a new Madonna album is always interesting, an event. William Orbit said that he has heard a couple of songs from the new stuff and it sounds good.
This is Diplo’s remix of ‘Hung Up’, 2:08 minute mark, the action begins.

Nobody is here for your essays about Thotdonna. Take that on over to Perez Hilton.
Can’t stand this fake trash. Stans for Madonna and J Lo. Two of the biggest h-os in the industry. Neother of them can sing or act.
@Truth
@A.K.A.
I love you both.
Eat sh-it trash.
Who are you?…I’m really curious about, you’re funny.
LOL MADONNASAUR AND HER DATED EDM CRAP IS GONNA FLOP TOO JUST LIKE HER LAST 3 ALBUMS LOL
I repeat… Diplo is pissed cause Mariah has done many interviews where she said she’s not gonna jump on the EDM bandwagon.
Why would he be pissed? What does Mariah not doing EDM have to do with him? Even if she did jump on that bandwagon and sought out his help, her sales probably wouldn’t be any better. No hot producer of any genre is going to work with Mariah, and if they do they wouldn’t give her their best material because chances are she’s not gonna sell well.
Really ? Hitboy and Mikewillmadeit worked with her.
The dream has worked on a whole album
Kanye west has done a song for her
Swizz beats ….. Well I bet you can see where this is going
Plus, Mariah doesn’t need big name producers she’s always produced and co produced her own music.
That Shadejuice just keeps on shading Mariah to get hits in the comments section.
That was so random that it’s even funny…Meanwhile Mariah sells 300-400k albums worldwide every year because she was smart enough to make timeless classics during her prime to cushion her from the mediocrities prevailing now
Yeeeesss!
Mariah is clearly still that b**** if they have people like diplo who looks like he could careless about Mariah carey news but do…s*** this decade with her Christmas album she sold more than this person. EDM is trash the people that do underground and are in Europe are better anyways. That’s real dance music! And top 40 mainstream is not even interesting anymore hence why Britney and gaga would’ve done great if they just venture off to new sounds. It’s played out and Sam just admit that you hate Mariah and stop wasting time talking about her..it’s pathetic.
Team Tinashe! Great news!
“2 On” has now jumped up eight spots on Billboard Hot 100 at #44!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyways, why does TGJ always shade Mariah? Do we ALL need to start Elijah “I’m Struggling” Blake now? SMH!
Sweetie I think you should stop. Everyone knows that Elijah will slay eventually and that his voice runs miles around Tinotshit. Your fave can’t even get her own thread on TGJ, have you ever wondered why?
@NOWUCIME ummmmm……. and the question still remains as “When?”
When?
When?
When?
Holla back when that happens…….. NEVER!
😀
No shade sis, but who is Tinashae? I really mean no shade at all but I’ve never heard of her.
Hey @Commander. You’re using a computer right? Go search her up and don’t ask foolish, euphemistic questions please. Thanks! 🙂
*COMMON SENSE*
http://youtu.be/-s7TCuCpB5c
Ugh, Diplo needs to worry about his own career and not Mariah’s and the lonely Tinashe stan on here should send an email to Sam and David asking why they won’t give her her own article.
Hi @WhenItComesTo ummmm…. does it really look like Tinashe needs aided support from TGJ? She is doing great as you can see how her first single is already creeping up high on those charts. Thank You For Your Concern! 😉
Who is he kidding? Madonna hasn’t pushed the envelope in I don’t know how many years. And it’s a punk move to compare a person in their prime to someone who has already peaked. If we compare Mariah’s prime numbers to what DJ Snake is doing now, Snake would be a forgotten name, and so would Diplo. Someone will come along and replace them soon enough.
Yet ANOTHER post about Mariah flopping? No one cares anymore? Why isn’t there a post about J-Ho’s estimates being lowered?
1. Lana Del Rey (Interscope) 180-190k
8. Jennifer Lopez (Capitol) 28-32k
As a fan off ALL things music and this website..I am becoming disgusted by the negativity that this blog brings to Mariah on a daily bases
So I just read up on Tinashe and found out that her daddy is from Zimbabwe
Zim guys be ugly AF but I hear they are very blessed down there don’t blame her mom for marrying her dad dark chocolate is waaaay better than white chocolate
Lol ha! weird as fck!
Sam is the stereotypical HIVE member, a fisting, messy power
bottom. Kiiiii
Wait. Tinashe is R&B but TGJ won’t write about her. Something is wrong somewhere.
It’s because she’s f****** wack. Look for yourself.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh5dL9lfbx0
Ok that was bad.
Loool she tried and failed.
Ok you know what, I was JUST about to stan for this chick until I saw this.
That performance wasn’t so great because she was under the weather but have you seen her other ones? Yea BYE! 🙂 Thanks for watching Queen Tinashe! 😀
http://youtu.be/hHwN9UkWhO0
Scrying at her vocals.
I like her, she has potential. She just has to work on those live vocals; very inconsistent. I don’t want them yo put her in the Cassie/ Jhene Aiko lane because she.can sing.
Aww, TGJ remains mad. Real cute. Mariah slays all flop the bxtches y’all Stan for!!! Sit down!
If TGJ’s seen those performances nobody gets any prizes for guessing why they’re ignoring her.
My thoughts exactly.
That’s what I think happened. Let’s keep it real, if you’re a new girl coming up you WANT to be featured here so the fact that they’re ignoring her is kind of putting me off her. If they think she’s s*** then I kinda have to wonder why and those videos don’t help.
Honestly, it was kinda cute the first 141345123452345 articles bashing & shading Mariah’s FLOP ass album! But, now its just sad!
.
Sam, why in the hell are you bashing Mariah Carey in every article like she stole your wigs or something? Girl, get over it! HER ALBUM FLOPPED move on…
.
Also, why aren’t you posting & blabbing on about J Ho selling 25-32K next week even with 2134123412423 singles, BEAUTY, GMA, AMERICAN IDOL, MULTIPLE RADIO INTERVIEWS, BIG BUTTS, DANCING SKILLS & top quality videos & 20+ million tiwtter followers but still only 30K…
.
Not to mention, J Ho is political correct with her personality & keeps it classy & looks 10x better than MAriah but still cannot outsell Mimi…
.
But, you steady running back to bashing Mariah Carey & praising J Ho like she just achieved a DIAMOND album! Bye THAT-NEGATIVE-JUICE
There I was dissing Sam and David for paying a new R&B girl dust and then y’all come along with these struggle videos.
I like Tinashe so I won’t stoop to her stan’s level.
What’s to like?
Don’t be mean sis, I think she has potential.
Have you charted yet MR. Elijah? Or do you need TGJ’s much more, aided support for you? It’s not going anywhere!
Why are you picking on Bijoux when everyone ELSE is dissing you. By the way, Elijah may not be charting but he’s much better than Tinashe so you need to have about a few dozen seats.
#12 on iTunes USA hunty.
J-Low’s biggest selling album was the one where she and Tommy Mattola stole songs and concepts from Mariah’s album, Glitter. LOL
She should send Mariah a check.
Anyways to all the Tinashe hater. “Fck your opinion
I don’t need your approval baby
You should keep it pushing now
Just a swing and miss you ain’t pullin’ sh*t
And I really can’t believe the audacity
Don’t you play with me
Damn, fck you think I am, careful what you sayin
Cuz you gone regret the day you ran that slick mouth right” – Queen Tinashe
http://youtu.be/8vHcME1D-qU
Le struggle. Not you bombarding this thread with videos because David won’t give her a thread.
Don’t take this the wrong babe but it is kinda strange that the biggest blog known for talking about the music girls doesn’t even think your fave is worth their own article.
Oh not you trying to play with Religion.
SMH! Back pedal out of this! The self drag! Damn.
@OVOBarbie it doesn’t really matter to me. I think all stans should worry about supporting their faves and getting them on them Billboard Charts, a blog is never a #1 goal on an artist or a stan. It’s about getting them to perform at every venue and selling out. Eventually, one day TGJ will have to post about her once she puts out her album and has a body of work done.
That’s all. I can careless about a blog posting of my fave.
First of all, Sam is disgusting. He just knows Mariah Carey is better than his faves and he has a problem or something. Basing an artist like that when you are also admitting all the time that her album is amazing doesn´t make any sense, it´s sad.
Secondly, this Diplo guy wasn´t right either. He could have made a different comment to praise the guy he´s talking about (I don´t even know who he is, no shade), didn´t need to mention Mariah Carey, whose career slaying basically eveybody mnetioned by anyone.
About Madonna: yeah I hope she makes something good, cause like somebody else has said, she hasn´t pushed the envelope since 2008 at least.
I just google Diplo Networth and Mariah is still winning!!
What does Mariah have to do with DJ snake!
I could sit here and fight with you, but talent speaks louder than words.
I’ll leave this here for you.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UjhBZ2orSO8
The flawless dragging!
I don’t think Diplo was throwing shade but just rather confused on how all these DJ inspired artist (Zedd, Avicii, Calvin Harris etc) are selling more than artist who actually can sing and have been around for a while. But J.Lo was album sales are going to slow after certain point primaryly with it being a new generation. Dare I even say it….it’s only a matter of time before Beyoncé hits that wall. You can’t stay number one forever you know :-/
J.Lo was right* album
To everyone asking me why does TGJ never post about Tinashe. Well I can ask the same question about others. Why hasn’t TGJ post about Sam Smith, Katy B or Kiesza who has been racking up big heavy views and her single “Hideaway” is HUGE in the UK. It actually went #1.
I think their just waiting for more body of work. But I don’t really care.
Look at this greatness that gets no love on here.
http://youtu.be/ESXgJ9-H-2U
Sam already posted about Sam Smith.
Pretty uncalled for on Diplo’s part and she did sell more that 10,000 copies. And the constant Mariah shade is reductive.
LOL @ all these shell-shocked Mariah stans who can’t even tell that Diplo was actually defending her pointing out the irony that some no-name joke like DJ Snake could be outselling someone like Mariah Carey. You people act like kicked dogs and look for “shade” in everything.
Also death at these comments! Now you know there’s a problem when most of your commenters keep calling you out on your s***.
#Fix it
I can’t at the fact that TGJ has more hate articles on Mariah Carey in the last two weeks than Mariah Carey and JLO buzz singles total COMBINED. lol
Sam is pressed. … against Mariah’s c*******. That grape juice = Mariah’s p**** juice !
STOP BASHING MARIAH
Wouldn’t it be easier to just not come to a blog that’s known for showing bias against your fave than constantly coming here complaining about it? Sam is not gonna change his game for as long as you all keep playing it by coming back again and again. Shading Mariah’s sales generates clicks & comments (money for him) from her thin skinned Stan’s who he’s baiting to clap back.
How many albums did J.Ho sell in the UK again?
Less than 800 first day.
I don’t understand why some lamb chops come here if its that painful. Are on some masichist s***? Because of you are not stop crying about the way the blog owners chooses to run it. Go elsewhere! If they were constantly hating on my fave I would no lt be giving them hits! Dumb h***.
We know Sam needs Mariah for hits which is sad in it’s own right!
Why are you worried about how Lambs spend their time?
It’s not just Lambs complaining and pointing out TGJ smear and hate campaign against Mariah either so kill the fave and Lamb talk!
TGJ is hurting their credibility as and unbiased music blog more than their hurting Mariah so….
STOP BASHING MARIAH SAM!!!! STOP IT!!
She doesn’t care about sales or chart or where her position right now what she care is, she just want to make music for her fan that it! even if u brag about how disappointment of her sales over and over and over SHE DON’T F****** CARE!
Where is your latest post about J’LO Sales on the First Week?? Did U Miss That One or U just playing Biased Towards Mariah??? WTF?????
You are such a cheap Person who own this stupid Cheap blog that stan only for Cheap Artist Who doesn’t even sell half of Mariah Carey total Sales! WHEN IS THE LAST TIME YOUR FAVORITE ARTIST WENT PLATINUM?
I did not see where Sam was hating on mariah. Y’all can’t read or something
