DIPLO is dipping further into the drama.

    The outspoken producer hasn’t been so kind in regards to Zedd’s new album “True Colors.”

    In another surprise turn of events, the 36-year-old is speaking out yet again in a new interview with Radio.com. Instead of slamming Zedd’s latest tracks, he’s now taking aim at one of his friends.

    “I’m actually not enemies with Zedd by any means,” he shared. “I just think that he came from such a cool place, and now he’s been pegged as a money-maker for a major label to do EDM, which to me isn’t even a genre.

    “But they pegged him for that,” he continued. “They’ve marketed him, even the fake relationship with Selena Gomez, all the things to sell records took away from the music.”

    While Zedd and Gomez have never confirmed whether or not they were/are romantically involved, it is certainly true that actress-singer and German producer-DJ posted a flood of social media photos and videos of themselves together (or tagging each other) leading up to and during the promotion of Zedd’s single “I Want You to Know.” Gomez provided the vocals on the track. Notably, the single’s cover art emphasized a connection between the two with a graphic.

    Following Gomez’s dramatic performance of the Justin Bieber-inspired anthem “The Heart Wants What It Wants” at the 2014 American Music Awards last November, the 22-year-old starlet posted an Instagram snap of herself with Zedd a month later.

    The pic showed the pair seemingly love struck by each other when they reportedly met for the first time at a recording studio to work on Gomez’s album.

    Shortly after, Gomez and Zedd were photographed holding hands at Golden Globes after-parties. In one picture caption, Gomez referred to the producer as the “Harry to my Sally” (she later deleted that note). For months, both Gomez and Zedd gave the impression that they were a couple while generating numerous paparazzi-captured moments which fueled media reports.

    “I Want You To Know” went on to peak at No. 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 after its release in February 2015. It was a previous No. 1 on Billboard’s Dance/Electronic Songs chart and performed well on iTunes charts around the world. Then, out of the blue, came reports in April claiming Zedd and Gomez had split up. At the time, MTV and a slew of media outlets asked the question, “Were they even dating?”

    Diplo’s comments came after Zedd told Billboard in May that he viewed tabloid rumors and questions about his relationship with Gomez as a “distraction.”
