Recently Diplo responded to the Mad Decent Block Party Kandi ban stating, “I never wear Kandi and I understand it’s not drug related culture inherently .. We just had serious issues with kids hiding it .. and there was a definite relationship between safety and security and made it so we had to ban certain items,” in decently side essay.
In his writing he also made it clear that the ban wasn’t his decision, “I actually had nothing to do with the rules being implemented but i do agree with my team.. And cause of who I am.. I’m the de facto speaker.. I have thick skin so u guys that consider yourself plur can attack me all you want it doesn’t bother me.. I’m just here for the music.“
With that being said it seems that one (or possibly a few) fan(s) decided to test Diplo’s “thick skin” by throw Kandi at him during the Mad Decent Block Party in Detroit, MI last night, August 16th, 2014.
To be fair Diplo could have walked off stage and refused to perform after this incident, or at the very least he could have had the fan(s) throwing Kandi removed before he continued his performance. Though, he’s just not that type of guy. Below we have a video, taken by Hunter Hansz, that captures Diplo’s reaction after having Kandi beads flung in his direction.
We applaud his ability to stay cool, he handles this situation like a true professional.
