Diplo Dips His Cup For a Glacial Water Taste Test, Proclaims It ‘Ludacris’

Diplo isn’t afraid to take a taste on the wild side. After Ludacris gained traction last month for checking a major item off his bucket list when he sampled some pure Alaskan glacial water, Diplo figured if it’s good enough for Luda, it’s good enough for me.

In a 20-second video posted on Tuesday night (Sept. 3) the DJ/producer is seen bundled up and kneeling on a glacier as a he dips a silver cup into the clear blue water in an undisclosed location. “Gonna try this glacier water,” he narrates as he dunks his glass in for a healthy fill-up. “Oh that’s good boy, bottoms up!”

The clip, which features a text overlay reading “this glacier water is ludacris,” also has the disclaimer: “it’s clean everyone, it’s literally clear.”

The stunt came a few weeks after Ludacris drew concern, and some condemnation, following his recent trip to Alaska, which included a sip of Alaskan glacial water. “Half of the world’s glaciers are here in Alaska. I couldn’t come here and just have a show. You know I got a bucket list — or as I like to call it the f— it list,” Luda said in his video. ” I’ve never tasted fresh glacial water in my life and this is a first. Here we go.”

After taking his slug, Luda ended the video with a cliffhanger in which he said, “Oh my God.” Commenters noted that glacier water can reportedly contain some dangerous bacteria, parasites and viruses, which are invisible to the eye and can cause serious health issues if ingested without purification.

Luda gave an update a few days later, assuring fans that as a “water snob” he could definitively say it was the, “best tasting water I’ve ever had in my life and as I drank it I felt like every cell in my human body was being hydrated and rejuvenated at the same damn time… Listen man, I’m here. I feel like Superman.”

Commenters on Diplo’s post had similar concerns, including: “Hows it clean if everyone walks with dirty boots?,” “Diplo about to be dumplo for 2-5 weeks,” “But what if a polar bear just dipped his b–ls in it?” and “how’s the diarrhea bud?”
