Diplo Credited for Baauer’s “Harlem Shake” on the Cover of Billboard.. ?

There is no question that the man Diplo has been having an insanely successful career as a musician lately with chart-topping hit after hit for and collaborations with every single artist under the sun. He’s produced songs for Snoop Lion, Justin Bieber (we know) and many, many more. Not to mention his own productions under both Diplo and Major Lazer.

All of this success has landed him the cover of Billboard. For a random white dude, this is a huge accomplishment. Hats off to this random white dude named Diplo.

However, at closer glance, after giving him praise for the huge phenomenon of white people twerking, he is also credited for the YouTube viral sensation that began following the release of “Harlem Shake,” without any mention on Baauer.

We do know that “Harlem Shake” was released on Diplo’s Mad Decent record label, but did he partake in producing it? We don’t know, but if he did play a role in the production, this is the first that we have heard that if this is actually the case. If not, mega Billboard fail.

Maybe we should read the article when it comes out on August 30.
