Product placement

Men's Health (magazine): ACTS - appears as the cover of a magazine, which is the subject of the video. Removing it would change the video's topic. Diplo (musician): APPEARS - is featured on the cover of Men's Health magazine. Removing him would change the cover image, but not the video's topic.

Transcript

Here's what I think happened. Diplo is on everyone's shitlist because he has, like, one to five of their friends in a diabolical way. I can think of one story where he left my friend in a hotel room with the door cracks saying he was gonna be right back and he just never returned. And he continued heading up for years. Like that's just how he operates. So if I hate Diplo for how he treats my friends, I mean, think about the hundreds of people out there with that same detriment in their hearts. So somebody in that editing room, someone that works at Men's Health has it out for Diplo because of the six degrees of separation in nightlife. It's not vodka cuts, it's Diplo's dick. Dirty, tainted, disgusting. He's a bad person and he's genuinely getting what he deserves. Why we still support this man after it's obvious the things that he does? I mean, think about the underage situation, the people that he allows to live with him. It's giving predatory. It's weird, bonkers bananas. But yeah, man is done, man's cooked, man's in worse reputation in the whole entertainment. So, I mean, this is just karma working out for itself.
