Trying to get one-up on Miley Cyrus, superstar DJ Diplo has outlined his ridiculous aims of achieving the ”world record of having the most people twerking at the same time”.
Yes, the Major Lazer man will attempt the feat at Electric Zoo music festival in New York this weekend, calling out to ”butts around the world” and offering free tickets to ”the top twerkers”.
He’s calling the whole thing a ‘Twerk Wall’, asking 18+ applicants to send in sample videos ahead of time.
You can watch Diplo outline his plans beneath:
