While the cases were dropped or settled, the allegations have stuck to him. Jennie hanging out with him so publicly did not sit well for many. #JENNIE appeared during DIPLO's performance today. Diplo and Jennie's musical collab Adding fuel to the backlash is the fact that Diplo recently collaborated with BLACKPINK on their long-awaited comeback single, JUMP.

Many BLINKs themselves hope she can choose better friends in the industry. I need her to pick better friends bro I'm afraid of Jennie for being close with Diplo this man has a history.
