Why Diplo Said Taylor Swift Fans Are "The Worst People In The World"

After Diplo body-shamed Taylor Swift, tweeting that somebody should initiate a Kickstarter to get the country-pop singer a booty, he certainly felt the wrath of Taylor's loyal fans-and now, he's fighting back.

In an interview with GQ magazine, the DJ reveals about what he thinks of Taylor's fans, "Like, Taylor Swift fans are really crazy. They threatened to murder me and stuff. It's really bizarre and disgusting. They're the worst people in the world."

One of Taylor's good friends, Lorde came to her defense and made a dig at the DJ's manhood when Diplo insulted Taylor last November. Lorde tweeted, "@diplo should we do something about your tiny penis while we're at it".

However, Katy Perry's ex-boyfriend insists that the tweets were just for fun and that he's actually somewhat friends with Lorde. "It's really dumb. So many great albums came out that week, and all people talked about, on all the big press, was me vs. Lorde, and Kim Kardashian's butt." He remarks about his Twitter feud with the "White Teeth Teens" singer.

"No one covered any music. And it's funny, because me and Lorde, we're actually friends, and it was a funny, in-jest conversation. So many tabloids used it to make a story, when it was not. Literally, it was such a tongue-in-cheek joke on both sides.

He then continues, kind of complimenting Taylor, "I think Taylor Swift is such an impactful character, that it was because she was involved that it became really big."

The DJ also gave examples of the harsh responses he got from Taylor's fans, "They're like, 'I wish your kids had Down syndrome.' They're so evil. I dissed Lady Gaga before, and the gays were never even this mean. They're funny. These people are like mean-spirited, evil human beings. I'm not a politician. I shouldn't have to be under the microscope for people like that."
