After making headlines on New Year’s Eve with Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen, Diplo welcomed 2025 by sharing a very “not gay” moment.
Between multiple festival gigs, national TV interviews, and staying fresh on the social scene, Diplo clearly didn’t have time to waste this vacation. In addition to that, he reposted an Instagram video of three men sharing a kiss. In other circumstances, it could be just another day in the “Where Are Ü Now” hitmaker’s life. But this particular clip stood out, especially after Diplo added a cheeky caption of his own.
“Midnight me.”
So who are these three people who happily lipped to Diplo’s reposts? They’re actually famous content creators with passionate queer fans.
The origin of the original reel is @spencerstew0a man named Spencer Stewart (who also uses “Braxton” as a stage name). He’s the person on the right side of the video. Stewart has 321,000 followers on X/Twitter (@braxtonstonevip), 120,000 followers on TikTok (@spencerstew1), and 73,000 followers on Instagram. Not to mention, he calls himself “Str8” and has an active OnlyFans (@braxtonvipx). [straight] G4P [gay for pay] muscle jock. ”

The center stage of the video is luke thomaalso known as Leo Levin on some platforms. He boasts 153,000 followers on X/Twitter (@leolevine69), 22,000 followers on Instagram (@luketomaaa), and runs an OnlyFans account (@leosvault) that teases “guy-on-guy collaborations.”
Finally, on the left, dawson baconalso known as Drake Fong. Bacon’s social reach includes 1.3 million followers on X/Twitter (@DrakeVonXXX) and 122,000 followers on Instagram (@dahzun1), which promises “gay, bi, sex amateur videos.” Also includes an OnlyFans profile (@drakevonxxx).
All three appear to split their time between Las Vegas and Florida, which is no coincidence considering Diplo’s own ties to the Sunshine State. He studied at the University of Central Florida (UCF) in Orlando and has a Florida tattoo on his arm, which can be seen in his steamy shirtless photo.
While this same-sex moment may come as a surprise to some, Diplo has been refreshingly open to exploring pleasure with both men and women for years.
- In 2014, he hopped on a Reddit AMA and was asked if he was gay. His answer: “Everyone’s a little bit gay.”
- In 2018, he locked lips with drag superstar Pablo Vittal in his “Então Vai” music video.
- Then, in 2023, Diplo made headlines again when he told Emily Ratajkowski on the Hi-Low podcast that he was “not gay” and revealed that he had received oral sex from another man in the past.
