While some criticized his set for being “lazy” and low effort, Diplo held it in high regard, saying, “I was surprised he even went [back] to the classics, but the way he played it was amazing,” at Maison Martell’s Toast to Afrobeats brunch before Day 3 of the festival in Indio, California.
The DJ continued, “None [else] could go to Coachella and just sit on his laptop and play from YouTube because it’s like – it’s legendary. And he gave you a little bit. He said, “I got so many hits, here, you get this.” “
Although some fans and Zara Larsson criticized Bieber’s chill vibe, Diplo noted that the set was “like being at a party with him.”
He added that the line-up was very “diverse”, saying: “They’ve got everyone from Davido to hardcore techno. Nine Inch Noize was amazing last night. It’s a little bit for everyone and you can learn a lot about music.”
Alongside Diplo, several artists applauded Daisies hitmaker on his performance including Finneas, Labrinth, Lizzo and more.
