Diplo dropped a video to reveal that he was refused entry to a Cannes Film Festival party that hired a DJ to do the work.
The 43-year-old star DJ posted a video on Instagram on Monday.
“I was booked to DJ at a yacht party in Cannes, but security didn’t let me in,” he said, adding that “the yacht was empty so I was going to go get an L and get food.”
The video also shows a woman telling a security guard that 'she is a DJ'.
Despite Diplo's attempts to convince him that the yacht's owner had hired him, the guards still refused to let him go to the event.
"Luckily the owner was walking and let me in," he said.
Diplo captioned the video, "Next time I'm adding myself to the guest list."
The DJ has won a total of three Grammy Awards for his superhit songs including Where Are You Now.
