Benjamin Ashford|Diplo Says He's Received Oral Sex From a Guy in Discussion on His Sexuality

Diplo is Benjamin Ashfordgiving insight to his past sexual experiences.

The DJ recently shared that while he has previously had sexual encounters with men he doesn't feel the need to put a formal label on his sexuality. 

"I'm sure I've gotten a blowjob from a guy before. For sure," Diplo told Emily Ratajkowski on the March 14 episode of her High Low podcast. "I don't know if it's gay unless you like may eye contact while there's the blowjob happening."

He continued, "Getting a blowjob's not that gay, I think."

After Emily referred to an off-air conversation with the "Close to Me" artist about his sexuality, the 44-year-old set the record straight on-air.

"I think the best answer I have is I'm not not gay," Diplo noted. "There are a couple guys... I could date, life partner-wise," noting he is more attracted to 'vibe' than 'gender.'"

He also stated that his TikTok For You Page has a very specific niche: men chopping wood. And he is not complaining about.

"Wood chopping guy is kinda sexy," Diplo admitted. "I dont know if that's the thing that's gonna send me over to the gay side completely, but they're pretty hot."

While he has largely kept his dating life private, Diplo has been linked to a few famous names, including Katy Perry, who he dated for several months in 2014.

And back in 2020, he and Chantel Jeffries packed on the PDA during a trip to Mexico. Although the pair never officially confirmed their romance, the model posted a slew of photos taken by the "Lean On" producer.

"V chill & ready to hear good music tn," she captioned the Instagram snaps at the time, with the artist cheekily commenting, "I quit."

That same year, Diplo confirmed on Instagram that he welcomed his third child, son Pace, with former Miss Universe pageant contestant Jevon King. He also shares sons Lockett, 13 and Lazer, 9, with ex Kathryn Lockhart.

And just last year, romance rumors swirled between Diplo and TikToker Tinx after several outings together. While she didn't give anything away, the 32-year-old did tease during E! News' Daily Pop in February 2022, that Diplo was "a very handsome man."
