Diplo hit back by claiming he was living with 19-year-old TikTok star Quenlin Blackwell after the couple joked about their life arrangements

« As an owner I don’t really consider age or breed to be a qualification You just have to pay a security deposit And don’t poke holes in the walls or ruin my carpet »
