Diplo shared the news on social media that he and comedian Chris Rock had escaped from Burning Man in Nevada's Black Rock Desert as thousands remain stranded due to flooding from monsoon thunderstorms.
"A fan offered Chris Rock and I a ride out of Burning Man in the back of a pickup," he captioned the video.
"I legit walked the side of the road for hours with my thumb out cuz I have a show in dc tonight and didnt want to let yall down," he wrote, joking that all Rock, 58, "could think about was a f—king cold brew." "Shoutout to this guy for making the smart purchase of a truck not knowing it was for this exact moment."The group then hitched a ride with "hippies with a van in the next town" and "negotiat[ed] a deal to give [them] a two-hour ride to the airport," Diplo said.Chris Rock and Diplo / Getty Images
"They didn’t believe we would walk six miles in the mud. No one believed we would get to DC for the show tonight," he captioned a selfie. "But God did.""For those of you who think I wasn’t at DC, I just got done DJing," he said. "Mud still on my face. I’m in a f–king Four Seasons. Why would I be at Burning Man still, you idiots?"
