Diplo, 41, Denies Living With 19-Year-Old TikToker Quenlin Blackwell
Last week, TikTok star Quenlin Blackwell claimed she was living with famed DJ, Diplo and the news sent social media into a frenzy.
“I live with Diplo right now, and he fully supports my endeavors,” she shared in the TikTok video. After telling her 4.1 million followers that she was shacking up with the 41-year-old, fans assumed Diplo and Blackwell, 19, were romantically involved.
Following backlash, Diplo finally decided to speak out to set things straight. He tweeted, “OK so I rent one of my properties to @quenblackwell. And yes I use the studio that is in that building,” he said. “Her social media is sarcastic and chaotic and I can see you can get a twisted idea but there is nothing but a friendship between us.” He then added,
“As a landlord I don’t really consider age or race as a qualification. U just gotta pay security deposit. And don’t poke holes in the walls or ruin my carpet.”

Blackwell also spoke out to also shut down speculation that she was dating him:
“i’m an adult. i’m not being groomed. platonic relationships exist,” she tweeted on Sunday. “i’ve been living here for over a year…i’d rather break both my legs and be forced to walk than pursure diplo romantically and he’d rather choke.”
She added,
“diplo has given me the opportunity and the security to create. diplo and his team are my mentors in LA and the are my safety net,” she said. “diplo and his team have saved me numerous times from the weirdors in LA. my parents trust him. i trust him. y’all are making me feel icky. diplo is my LA dad..nothing more.”
