During his appearance on CNN's New Year's Eve Live With Andy Cohen & Anderson Cooper, Diplo admitted that he was tripping on LSD on live TV.
"What’s the most conventional place that you’ve done LSD?" Cohen asked Diplo when he showed up as a guest during the broadcast. "Right now," he replied. I did some on the helicopter on the way here. I'm not even lying." The admission took Cooper and Cohen by surprise, with the latter asking, "You're tripping right now?!" Diplo replied, "Yeah, but it's like a light trip."
Diplo looking very relaxed, and perhaps a little too happy about his LSD use, told the hosts that he was "microdosing" the substance.
Per The Hollywood Reporter, Cooper was clearly a fan of Diplo's approach to life after the brief interview and noted it was impressive that he was riding a high ahead of his scheduled NYE performance at Avalon Hollywood.
"I wish I was Diplo. I got to say," he said. "I just think he has a fun, cool lifestyle. Can you imagine his lifestyle? ‘I’m Diplo. I do things. ... I feel bad about my own boring life compared to Diplo’s. He’s got helicopters and he’s like doing things. He did like four shots while we were talking. And he’s going to play. How does he work? How does anybody do anything? I’ve had four shots. I just want to go to sleep."
