Mega-producer Diplo found himself facing an onslaught of negative reactions on Twitter after he posted a joke about R. Kelly’s alleged “sex cult” on Tuesday (July 18). Several Twitters users deemed that his “joke” was in poor taste.
“Low key sent my cv for r kelly sex cult membership,” Diplo wrote in a since-deleted tweet.
After BuzzFeed published the scathing article accusing the R&B singer of sexual misconduct on Monday (July 17), Kelly flat-out denied any wrongdoings several hours later through his lawyer Linda Mensch. But evidently, Diplo still found the humor in it, prompting several Twitter users to question his character.
The “joke” fell particularly flat considering Kelly has been accused of devious behavior in the past. Coupled with the collective disgust people are likely feeling towards Kelly’s latest controversy, the wounds are still fresh.
Consequently, Twitter users didn’t hold back and quickly dragged Diplo over the hot coals. Some labeled him a misogynist while others changed their mind about ever supporting him or his music in the future.
Check out some of those tweets below.

Did he actually get “SLAMMED” or are we just going for outrage clicks again. Showing a few tweets with less than 5 likes doesn’t constitute SLAMMED for me. I make memes that get more than that.

Yo! who the fuc is diplo?
This has nothing to do with race you race baiting sewer rats. He made an insensitive sexual joke and you self loathing insecure scum bags try to turn this into an attack on the “plight of black people”. You cats think you are so intelligent but you are just a bunch of sensationalist drama queens.
Not a damn thing funny. People crack jokes about Catholic priests too, society has “low-key” accepted pedos and rapists hiding in plain sight. Meanwhile they do NOTHING to educate their children and communities about it.
A bunch of sensitive race baiting PC queers! You go ahead Diplo. I’m not mad at you. Pee on these bitches son. Just make sure they are 18+
Everyone has an opinion about something and thanks to social media everyone can relay how offended they are by something.
