Diplo, born Thomas Wesley Pentz, posed with Jefe pressed closely to his face for two sweet snaps.

He kept his golden hair concealed beneath a backwards green hat and he had a pale pink blanket on his chest for Jefe to lay against.

One of the selfies showed Diplo puckering his lips for the camera as Jefe eagerly peered at the lens. 

Handing the spotlight off to Jefe, the Welcome To The Party hitmaker captured his new furry friend playfully tugging at his pal’s shirt sleeve.

Jefe hilariously bared his bright white baby teeth, before latching onto the tempting sleeve and giving it a good shake.

At one point in the video, Jefe shook his head so hard that he sent his body tumbling onto the pavement.

But the brief mishap did not deter him as he continued to make the sleeve his chew toy.
