Diplo has claimed Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas had his phone confiscated during their second wedding ceremony, seemingly to prevent the DJ from sharing any photographs or videos from the occasion on social media.

Over the weekend, it was reported that Turner and Jonas had celebrated their second wedding in France with a formal ceremony attended by family and close friends.

One of their guests was American DJ Diplo, who recently found himself in a spot of trouble after live-streaming the couple's first wedding in Las Vegas in May.

On Sunday, Diplo shared a picture on Instagram of himself dressed smartly for Turner and Jonas' nuptials.

"This is the only photo I got from Joe and Sophie Turner Jonas' wedding because they took my phone from me and put [it] in a holding cell during the ceremony. Heard it was lovely tho," the musician wrote in the caption.

Diplo's claim that his phone was confiscated for the wedding sparked a myriad of humorous comments among the DJ's Instagram followers.

"The wedding was waiting for the wedding live stream damn," one person wrote.

"They put you in time out lol," another remarked.

During an appearance on the Capital Breakfast radio show in May, Jonas said that Diplo "ruined" his and Turner's first wedding by live-streaming it without their permission.

The singer and Game of Thrones star had originally wanted to keep the ceremony a secret.

"I love Diplo, but he loves his 'gram more than a 13-year-old," Jonas said.

"He posts every five seconds. He literally, like, live-streamed with dog face filters."

However, Jonas said he and Turner are not angry with Diplo, adding: "We just laughed, we loved it. We thought it was ridiculous."

While appearing on The Graham Norton Show in May, Turner reiterated her husband's comments, saying that the couple didn't select Diplo to be their "wedding photographer".

"He just kind of decided to live-stream it. What happens in Vegas doesn't stay in Vegas," the actor said.
