He has posted on social media to announce the passing of his mom, Barbara, reports aceshowbiz.com.
“My momma just passed away. I would trade a kidney to take away the cosmic gut punch I feel right now. I cried in the airport bathroom. I made a small puddle and then almost slipped,” the Grammy-winning star wrote in a post on X – which was formerly known as Twitter.
“Now I’m gonna walk into the ocean and look for a shark to fight, that might be the only cure for grief. She was my first and purest love. I hope someone will make me feel safe like you always did.”
Diplo’s post also featured a throwback photo from his childhood. In a follow-up message, Diplo described his mom as a “devout supporter” of his music.

“She was always on myspace as djmom and a lot of my friends had her in their top 16 cause she always posted positive messages and loved that I was happy making music .. she followed me and every project and I always made her a double xxl shirt of my new album.”
“She was restricted to a chair and oxygen tank the past ten years but I lit up her life everytime I would come home .. even two days ago she posted hearts on my page. i’m glad she got to see me create and grow and be just a little bit successful. she gave me so much confidence even when I was broke and feeling lost.”
