Police shut down Diplo as he played the Rolling Stone Super Bowl party in Houston, Texas, on Saturday night.

The DJ-rapper-singer, who didn't hit the stage at the Museum of Fine Arts until 1am, evidently played past the event's official wrap time.

And the police moved in to shut it down in the early hours of Sunday morning, according to TMZ.

A video clip shows an officer on stage, taking the mic out of the artist's hand and telling the crowd to 'start moving out' as the lights come on, while a line of his colleagues stood in front of the stage.

When Diplo, aka Thomas Wesley Pentz, came to the edge of the stage to say goodbye to fans, one asked: 'How does it feel, you just shut down the Super Bowl party?'

The 37-year-old, who hails from Tulepo, Mississippi. replied: 'I hope I just warmed up for the Falcons tomorrow.'

He was, of course, referring to the Atlanta Falcons who are playing the New England Patriots in Super Bowl LI at the NRG Stadium in Houston on Sunday.

But although the cops had to halt the show, it was all done in a good-natured, low key way.

When one was asked, 'Don't you like Diplo's music?' he replied, 'Oh we love it,' adding 'it's just the job.'

Meanwhile, there will be more excitement for Diplo next Sunday.
