Diplo is a father, again. The DJ/producer, aka Thomas Wesley Pentz, welcomed his second son with ex-girlfriend Kathryn Lockhart into the world recently. Lazer Lee Louis Pentz weighed 8 pounds 10 ounces at the time of birth, Us Weekly reports. The pair's first child, Lockett, was born in 2010.
As of late, Diplo has been romantically linked to Katy Perry, although those rumors have not been confirmed. They were seen publicly at Coachella in April, and over the summer Perry went to Jamaica with the EDM artist to work on new, reggae-infused music.
"The funniest moment was having Katy Perry in the studio singing 'woke up this morning feeling so blessed' and writing a whole song to the Rootsman Riddim while Jesse did the dub for Modern Day Judas," Walshy Fire, who was also in the studio with the pair, said. "Watching her catch that reggae vibe was the best part of recording."
Diplo has been caught up in a social media scuffle lately with Taylor Swift and Lorde. A few days ago, the producer tweeted, "Someone should make a kickstarter to get taylor swift a booty." The campaign has not even raised $100 yet as of press time.
Lorde responded with a snappy tweet herself, defending her girl T. Swift: "@diplo should we do something about your tiny penis while we're at it hm," she wrote.
And, of course, Diplo fired back.
“@lordemusic: @diplo should we do something about your tiny penis while we're at it hm” (
Diplo and Skrillex, aka Jack U, have been making the media rounds lately. The pair have done a few interviews together, worked on an album with Justin Bieber and are planning a big New Year's Eve concert at Madison Square Garden.
