Diplo Posts Message To Brazilian Fans After Shooting During His Set

Diplo posted a message to his fans in Brazil on his Instagram after two people were shot during his set at a Carnival street party in Sao Paulo.

The 41-year-old DJ and producer posted two photos and a clip on his Instagram of the event.

“This is a tough country.. It’s bullet proof, maybe even invincible.. Its definitely blessed.. We were actually ready 15 minutes later to get on and do a show for everyone in Sao Paulo just as we made sure the medical teams were good.. But that’s when thunder and lightning started to pour down as if Brazil started to cry. I will see you next year Sao Paulo because you know we love you,” he wrote.

A man and a woman were shot during an attempted theft. A witness claimed that a man tried to steal another man’s chain off his neck. The man with the chain then pulled out a gun and shot the thief in the stomach and shot his female friend in the thigh. Diplo was rushed to safety by security guards and the street party was canceled.
