Why Is EVERY Dude a DJ? Diplo tells the TRUTH

Nayeema turns her curiosity (and yes flirt) onto ‪@Diplo‬ aka Thomas Wesley Pentz, the Grammy-winning musician and DJ whose hits range from house to country or Bollywood to Brazil, and who has collaborated with everyone from Madonna to M.I.A. and Rihanna. On the table: Why is every dude a DJ now? Do actually successful Grammy-winning DJs sleep? What do music producers do? Should they date the musicians they produce? And is Diplo ever getting back together with Skrillex for Jack U? Also: Does Bill Nye know who Diplo is? Fact checks: Brian Epstein (no relation) was the Beatles manager, George Martin was their producer, and Fidel Castro is not Justin Trudeau's dad.
