Diplo Swears Nothing Is Going On With The 19-Year-Old TikTok Star Who Lives In His House
The last time we wrote about 41-year-old Diplo, he was shrugging off Sia’s very public request to have sex with him. And now we’ve got a story that might explain why Diplo didn’t want to get with Sia. Is it because she’s at least two decades too old for him? No! Not according to Diplo, it’s not like that when it comes to his relationship with a TikTok famous 19-year-old named Quenlin Blackwell. Diplo swears there’s nothing going on between the two of them, regardless of the fact that she currently lives in his home.
For the record, this is Quenlin, a 19-year-old from Dallas, Texas with 1.9 million Instagram followers. She became famous on Vine, then YouTube, and now on TikTok, where she dances for tens of seconds at a time.
According to E!, this started five days ago after Quenlin did a Q&A with her followers, in which she claimed she was living with Diplo at the moment.
@quenblackwell #greenscreenvideo @diplo thank you for always supporting my screaming antics
Quenlin also uploaded several TikTok videos called, “Living With Diplo: The Series.” To prove without a shadow of a doubt exactly which Diplo she’s referring to, he has appeared in one video where he is driving her around Los Angeles. Here he is dancing with her in a recent TikTok:
@quenblackwell LIVING WITH DIPLO: THE SERIES
I haven’t read anything about 41-year-old Diplo being an Airbnb super host who rents out rooms to social media-famous teenagers, so this situation looks like a live-in girlfriend thing. Diplo clearly heard all the people wondering what the fuck was up at his house, and so he explained it on Twitter. Diplo claims that he’s Quenlin’s landlord, and despite what it may look like, it’s not what it looks like.
OK so I rent one of my properties to @quenblackwell. And yes I use the studio that is in that building. 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.

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

Not long after Diplo swore everything was legit, along came this user who dug a ten-year-old tweet out, that would imply Diplo likes young girls. Based on the timeline, it would appear Diplo is talking about women who would be in their late teens. But according to Diplo, it has nothing to do with nothing.
Because it has zeo context now and my girlfriend at the time was 20 and we broke up. https://t.co/LExiTGSipV

Then Diplo kind of made things a bit more confusing by saying that he is her landlord, but also that he’s collaborated on music with her.
To make music you have to have chemistry to be creative with a person. we didn't make songs between plexiglass door while on discord.

Diplo’s transition between “She’s ONLY my tenant” to “She’s my roommate, sort-of” to “But we’re also friends” to “New music coming soon!” only complicates things further because that’s not a very common situation to be in as a 41-year-old. It’s even more suspicious when you remember he appeared in one of Quenlin’s TikTok video where she claimed she was living rent-free. Maybe that’s the “sarcastic and chaotic” part Diplo was referring to? But I didn’t know that filming TikTok videos and being a chauffeur was part of being a landlord. I’m about to send this story to my landlord with a note that says, “You guys are able to do more than just check my smoke detectors and try to raise my rent??? If so, I’d like a ride to Wendy’s, please.”
