Diplo allegedly came out as gay in a series of Instagram posts.

During an in-flight emergency on his private plane, the 40-year-old DJ took to Instagram to tell his 5.5 million followers he “might be gay.” The aircraft suffered a cracked windshield.

“Dear Colombus and Minneapolis, my jet window just cracked open, and the pilots are wearing masks so not sure ill make my shows tonight,” he wrote, before continuing: “Also I never told you this, but I might be gay.”

He later updated the post to inform his fans know he was safe, writing: “We landed and no one died I still might be gay, but I’m definitely not going to tye die any more jets.”

Some think the remark was a reference to the famous turbulence scene in the film Almost Famous, where a character declares “I’m gay!” as they believe the plane is about to crash.

Given Diplo’s history of support for the LGBTQ community, we’d like to believe he wouldn’t make a joke about coming out.

It’s not the first time he’s discussed his sexuality. In 2016, he tweeted he was “half gay” — which some fans thought meant he’s bisexual – and when someone questioned his sexuality earlier this year, he frankly answered: “Masculinity is a prison.”

Diplo recently made headlines when he got intimate with Brazilian drag queen Pablo Vittar in her music video “Então Vai”.
