What evidence is there that Switch has left Major Lazer? Accurate source please. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.181.251.131 (talk) 09:57, 31 May 2012 (UTC)

Americans?
Diplo is British and Jillionaire IS Trinidad, so why does the first sentence of this article begins with "Major Lazer is an American electronic music group" with American linked to a page about citizens of United States of American? Chaldean (talk) 19:32, 8 January 2016 (UTC)


 * Once again, I don't know who added the band being labeled as American. It consists of


 * Diplo, an American
 * Walshy Fire, a Trinidadian
 * Jillionaire, Jamaican, but moved to the US (same case as Rihanna with her being born in Barbados but moving to NYC. She's still Barbadian.)
 * Furthermore, the band was originally created with Diplo and another DJ, Switch (house DJ), who is British. Chaldean (talk) 00:16, 2 February 2017 (UTC)


 * I think it has something to do with the group being based in the US. Mad Decent is also there. Jillionaire and Walshy Fire have lived in the US for years so they probably have citizenship as Americans, IMO. - The   Magnificentist  07:41, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
 * The lede is all about notability and where the group was formed and became notable. Not the birth place or ethnicity. Karst (talk) 07:51, 2 February 2017 (UTC)
 * notability - they are famous worldwide, not just in America. And how can we just assume "so they probably have citizenship as Americans" ? Chaldean (talk) 18:42, 14 July 2017 (UTC)

Missing and incorrect info
Major Lazer did not originate in Kingston, Jamaica (or Jamaica at all). The are not a "Jamaican-American" group.

Major Lazer started as Diplo (American) + Switch (English)

After Switch left, the group was Diplo + Skerrit Boy (Antiguan)

After Skerrit left, the group was Diplo + Walshy Fire (Jamaican-American) + Jillionaire (Trinidadian)

After Jillionaire left, the group is Diplo + Walshy Fire + Ape Drums (American) 2600:1700:2001:5270:2996:1E94:E3FD:9FDF (talk) 23:46, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
