Diplo kicked off the new year tripping on LSD, he revealed to CNN‘s Andy Cohen and Anderson Cooper.

During CNN‘s New Year’s Eve Live with Andy Cohen & Anderson Cooper coverage, the two co-hosts invited DJ and producer onto the show as one of their many guests. During the show, which was live on air, Cohen asked Diplo where the “most conventional place” he had done LSD was.

Diplo then revealed that he was tripping on LSD at that very moment: “Right now. I did some on the helicopter, on the way here.” Laughing, he added: “I’m not even lying.”

Anderson Cooper immediately burst into laughter while Cohen seemed shocked, asking, “You’re tripping right now?”. Diplo replied: “Yeah, but it’s like a light trip.” He then shared that he was “microdosing,” but also could have “macrodosed” earlier the day.

 

During the interview, Diplo asked if that portion of their chat could be cut out before realising he was live on air. Instead, Cooper and Cohen disclaimed to their audience that they do not recommend the use of LSD.

Following Diplo’s interview, he performed a set at Avalon Hollywood in Los Angeles to kick off the new year.

Carrie Underwood, the Jonas BrothersTLC and Sophie Ellis-Bextor were among the performers at this year’s New Year’s Rockin’ Eve show in Times Square, New York. The show, produced by Dick Clark Productions and iHeartMedia, was hosted by Ryan Seacrest for the 20th consecutive year, alongside co-host Rita Ora, who also performed on the night.

The bill was topped by Underwood, on the 20th anniversary of her victory on American Idol. The Grammy winner played just before the famous ball drop in Times Square, playing the likes of ‘Church Bells’, ‘Pink Champagne’ and ‘Before He Cheats’.

Robbie Williams played in Sydney, Jungle were live in London, Luis Fonsi performed in Puerto Rico, Alanis MorissetteReneé RappJa Rule and Kesha were on the West Coast and Blake Shelton and Lenny Kravitz were in Las Vegas.

Bobby Shmurda Lives Out Lean On Me Dream As A High School Principal For A Day In New Jersey

Bobby Shmurda recently shared hard-earned wisdom with students at a New Jersey high school during a unique visit as Principal for the Day. On January 2, the rapper, best known for his breakout hit “Hot N*gga,” took over East Orange High School as part of a collaboration with Hot 97. His visit, documented on Instagram, featured snapshots and videos of him engaging with students, delivering heartfelt advice, and embracing his role with enthusiasm.

In his Instagram caption, Shmurda expressed gratitude for the opportunity, acknowledging the irony of the moment. “Principal Shmurda for a day—ha! What’s crazy is I never graduated from junior high,” he wrote. “So this is an honor. Huge thanks to Principal Whitaker for letting me lead East Orange High for the day. It was an amazing experience—y’all can check it out on YouTube via Hot 97.” Hot 97 later released a 39-minute episode capturing Shmurda’s visit, including a candid Q&A session where he reflected on his meteoric rise to fame and his fall from grace. 

Bobby Shmurda Spends The Day As A High School Principal

“I was Bobby Shmurda, then I got locked up,” he recounted. He openly discussed his troubled youth, revealing he had his first run-in with the law at just 12 years old. “My friends were four or five years older than me. My mom would just cry all day.” Shmurda also reflected on his tumultuous time in prison. “The first few years, I was wilding—gangbanging, smoking, fighting, doing dumb stuff,” he admitted. 

“I had to stop letting others define my behavior,” he told the students. “Every time I was about to achieve something, someone miserable would push me off course, and I’d end up in jail. You can’t thrive like that.” Shmurda’s story resonated with the students, blending inspiration with raw honesty. His message was clear: success requires discipline, self-awareness, and the courage to break free from destructive patterns.
