Diplo on Feud with Taylor Swift: "One of the Biggest Mistakes of My Career was Definitely F***ing with Her"

All is well and good now between Diplo and Taylor Swift, but his recent comments about the pop star might make him a target once again of Taylor loyalists.

In an interview with GQ magazine, the 36-year old DJ compared Taylor's fandom, called the "Swifties" to that of the extremely organized and methodical military forces of North Korea's leader Kim Jong-Un, adding that the "Style" singer's army is "worse than North Korea."

However, he acknowledges that he made a mistake getting into a fight with Taylor. Not only does she have 50 million fans, but according to Diplo, she has 50 millions fans that are willing to die for her.

Admitting his mistake, he said, "That was something I was never prepared for. One of the biggest mistakes of my career was definitely f***ing with her."

The DJ felt the wrath of Taylor's fans back in November of last year, when he asked people to initiate a campaign to get Taylor a "booty."

At the time, Diplo was with singer Katy Perry. It's no secret that Katy and Taylor have been dissing each other, and so a lot of people saw his comments as his way of siding with his girlfriend. Plus, his remarks also served as further proof that the two singers are really sworn enemies.

While Taylor opted to take the high road and didn't reply to the tweet, one of her best friends, Lorde defended her pal and replied, "Should we do something about your tiny penis while we're at it hm. (sic)"

Diplo also mentioned Lorde in his interview and explained that he didn't go after Lorde because she's friends with her. In a different interview issued last month, the Grammy-nominated DJ revealed that he knows a lot of secrets about Taylor which he cannot divulge. Adding that "Taylor Swift is very strategic with her friends and enemies. And I'm scared. I'm scared of my life." 

Everything about their feud seemed to be over though as they reconciled at this year's Grammy Awards and took a photo together to prove it. However, Taylor and Diplo's ex-girlfriend Katy have yet to put their differences aside, with Taylor's hit track "Bad Blood" thought to be about Katy.

Asked about the "This is How We Do" singer, Taylor said she would never discuss Katy in her interviews. Taylor's feud with Katy started when three dancers who was supposed to go on tour with Taylor unexpectedly quit to join Katy.
