Diplo joins airline passenger hall of shame
47-year-old American DJ and music producer Diplo took to social media to show off while in Emirates’ Boeing 777 first class. However, he wasn’t showing off the unlimited caviar or Dom Perignon (perhaps even P2!). Instead, he was showing off his yoga skills, from downward doggy to… well, whatever the other stuff is (I’m as flexible as a steel rod).
The social media post is captioned “next time ill lead the whole cabin in a class.” He narrates the video by explaining that this is how you do a yoga class in Emirates first class. As he explains, “you just buy the first class seat, which costs like $12,000, and then you sleep through all the meals and all the free stuff, and then you wake up with an hour left and just feel really lazy, so you just start doing yoga.” He did several moves before “they yelled at [him], so [he] had to quit.”
Is this even remotely serious, or is he being funny?
While I’m familiar with Diplo, I can’t say that I’m too familiar with him as a person or his sense of humor. Is he being totally serious here, or is this sort of a joke?
Is he one of these “oh, I like to start every day with an hour-long hour cold plunge followed by three hours of meditation” person, or is he making fun of himself here?
Either way, this behavior is as bad as people using their toes to control the seat back entertainment screens. Bleh! At least using your toes to control the inflight entertainment isn’t dangerous, in the event there’s any unforeseen turbulence.
Bottom line
Diplo took to social media to show off his yoga skills in Emirates first class. I don’t want to suggest there’s anything wrong with trying to loosen up a bit during a flight, but if it involves doing a headstand or placing your (bare) feet on the counter space, then I think that’s a step too far.
Where do y’all stand on this?
Just another American attention seeking sociopath satisfying his need to make himself look absolutely ridiculous, yes?
You rang? LOL.
Not you 1990, one knows only too well that you are always busy dancing to the organ grinder’s tune, yes?
Who in the hell is this dip pole idiot?! Really? You donut this, on a public conveyance? And pay so much just to sleep. Really?!? Sit down eat sleep and act like a human you moron
Entitlement. Many believe they have it. Many of them end up in bad situations.
At least he did it while in his seat and not in the aisle.
No idea who Diplo is btw
He spent quite a bit of time here in Orlando, including at UCF.
He's also got his own Dance music channel on Sirius/XM.
So I'm a big Diplo fan.
Lot of haters here.
Since when did expecting people to conduct themselves in a civilised, considerate manner in public become “hate”? If you don’t know how to behave around other people, including on an airplane journey, you can expect to be (figuratively) slapped-down, and ridiculed for being the vulgar, nouveau riche Mississippi pissant that you are. The guy is an asshole, and he’s cheap white trash. All the money on earth won’t change that.
Make it stop is the right headline
Was thinking of that Simpsons meme ‘stop, he’s already dead…’
Hopefully he gets Banned from Flying Emirates.
Maybe try not giving it the attention it seeks? ffs.
If you behave like that you forfeit your premium seat. Captain should have put him in economy, middle seat, for the remainder of the flight.
Unfortunately, he got his wish, you publicized it. If everyone ignored these people, they wouldn't try to be outrageous.
Wait… that was a man? Oof.
No, 1990, it was just an attention seeking sociopathic ‘dip-stick’ …. one of your mates, yes?
Niccce. I’m not creating a ‘brand’ or promoting my ‘image’ like an influencer. I’m using a pseudonym on a travel blog. No one cares about ‘1990’ or ‘AeroB13a,’ yet, I do enjoy commenting on a wide range of topics, as well as bantering with you and others, and advocating for a few things that I do hope will change (like, someday, an EU261-equivalent in the US.)
Well put Ben, yes, well put!
Agreed.
Well said. If it wasnt terminal, most of these people would try to commit suic*de live just for the clicks/views/likes.
The guy also runs marathons on LSD. Just about everything he does wades into "just because you can, it doesn't mean you should" territory.
I've never seen so much meaningless drivel packed into a tweet in my life.
I never heard of him before and have only seen seat maps of their FC cabin. But, if he put on socks, and it wouldn't disturb others on the flight not part of his entourage, I'd be OK. But, obviously if he was told to stop, the stop.
What a demonic dirtbag!
The more I think about this, the more I shake my head. It would be nice to take a poop into this guy's head - at least then there would be something where his brain is supposed to be. What a moron.
Jessica, I’m not gonna ‘yuck’ your ‘yum’ but if you’re into doing that on anyone’s head… gurl, you do you…
I recently learned that Diplo had a sexual tryst with an underage girl at an Austin hotel. Shocked it hasn't been more widely publicized.
voice is as if he smoked a ton of cigarettes not a person to aspire to become IMO
Whoever diplo is, he comes across as a dipstick and attention seeker and a clown. Nothing else.

Ben, do yourself a favor and get rid of Instagram (and all other social media while you’re at it). That way, people like this (whoever they are) will have no incentive to do this type of thing. Your life will be better and these idiots will fade away. I made the break about five years ago and I haven’t missed anything.
@Andrew, I agree. As you noted, the most effective way to stop its spread is to avoid reposting or amplifying it. This wasn't worth the attention given more valuable information about travel we could be reading and sharing here.
Don't forget he is a gobshite who will do anything for attention though, being the entitled seppo he is. And I don't JUST mean Diplo either.
WTF....... Who the F@#% is Diplo anyway?? Instead of "Duplo", toddler size Lego he's some kind of middle age washed up Lego!! With disgusting personal hygiene judgement in First Class in an airplane!! Ewwwwwwh! :o(
Dip lo is when happens when I put my yoga'd self to work doing that limbo limbo

Social media has broken many a mind.
Being a part of the patient zero generation of social media, I concur strongly
More years ago that I can count a (more legitimate than diplo) rockstar did some yoga or stretching on the tip of a BA 747 JFK LHR next to the closet while her personal assistant held a blanket wide so we in 2A etc would not see. It was equally lame -at least I was left with a funny story to tell- but at least there was no proud social media posting at that time....

CSM quietly and discreetly apologized to is saying it was ‘her routine to do so’
He's a known joker. Leave it alone
Never heard of her!
Ugh. Can't you just enjoy EK First? Like, it's really quite nice, and you don't have to do this stuff.
In hindi diplo means ' school dropout '
His original DJ name was Diplodocus.
I completely forgot Diplo existed. What an odd way for him to re-enter my consciousness.
It would be interesting to have him undertake an IQ test.
Yes, or perhaps a brain scan, or better yet, whatever test tells you if you have undescended little grapes for you-know-whats!
More like raisins! LOL!
Other ‘1990’… what’r you doin’ man… I don’t talk about peoples, uh, peep-ulls, like that…
The sooner Americans, and influences in general, are banned from flying, the better for humanity.
Diplo is a Dildo.
Pathetic.
Who?
Money and no class
Will Dubai be going after him? Decency laws?
Watched Da Nang Dick Diplo on Emirates doing Yoga almost as well as his "music" (not very!). As all the passengers cheered and applauded Da Nang Dick as he was instructing passengers left and right, he then woke up from his dream screaming that HE LIED. Next time I want to listen to a non-stop barage of bullshit I will ask “the Dick” to travel with me!
Lol
Other ‘1990’… glad you made Matt happy, but I honestly did not follow this one.
Who else are you impersonating these days? Was Eskimo not enough?
This individual should have been arrested upon landing and criminally prosecuted for endangerment of an aircraft, disobedience towards peace officers (flight attendants as they act as CAPTAIN authority - Google it), public nuisance, and endangerment of others (unsecured person during turbulence could pose a Threat)
I thought Diplo was still busy telling people that he slept with Justin Trudeau -- butthurt that Katie Perry cut in on him.
"Next time I'll lead the whole cabin," he brags? Lead yourself straight to hell, you delusional buffoon! The crew had to YELL at him to stop - that's how catastrophically out of control this moronic spectacle was!
Diplo is another name for anal beads.
This is a video of anal beads doing yoga.
I'm sure he's got some inserted!
Other ‘1990’… oh no, you’ve been rewarded with a ‘Helpful’ for your comment impersonating me that I wouldn’t have thought of myself. Well done, I guess. The student becomes the master… *bow*
I could not have done it without your mentorship and support!
New money is so vulgar.
Diplo?
More like Dip$hit
What a fool.
What a disgrace to Emirates, to First Class, to the United States, to Dubai, to his home country, and to Airbus. One nasty case of undescended you-know-whats.
Inconsequential delinquent!
What is the purpose of this?
And as a follow-up (and for the million-dollar question), why should I care?
Because he might have undescended testicles, that's why.
You took the words right outta my mouth, William. This is a prime example of a time to use that metaphor!
Rod and Willy doing dick jokes.
This is ironically classic.
While the wording is still obviously fake Eskimo, you get extra credits for baiting colloquialism names to do colloquialism jokes.
Later ‘Eskimo,’ so, you are the O.G., and the first two are the impersonator? (He’s impersonating me, too. Sometimes he’s not too far off. Is he doing opposite of you, or trying to imitate?)
I have no idea what diplo is. But people shouldn't go this
WHO??? Just deport whoever this irreverent and inconsequential fool is and let's carry on!
You want it to stop? Then stop giving these jackasses the attention they so crave. Until people just stop feeding them, this will continue, things will get even worse, and society will continue down the drain to the sewer.
Social media is a cancer on society. Who's responsible for it? You are.
Couldn't agree more!
Amelie Lens is much more talented and way more mysterious and discreet. This is an excellent illustration of that latter, if not the former points.
If he had socks on, it would be fine. Too much intolerance around.
I’ve done stretch g on long haul flights.
