Another day, another Deadmau5 beef.
This time he’s taken on fellow EDM DJ Calvin Harris after Harris announced his guest heavy new album Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1.
Harris’ new album features a huge list of names including Frank Ocean, Nicki Minaj, Travis Scott and Big Sean but Deadmau5 misses when it just used to be Calvin by himself.
“Anyone ever remember when calvin harris was just… calvin harris? who the fuck are all these other people? like… why,” he wrote.
“Fucking hate watching what i love to do get raped by popular culture for the sake of selling stupid shit for stupid people.”
He concluded the argument by writing, “Nothing new here. Just your typical sellout rant about people who obviously know how to pander shit for the sake of capitalism. Moving on.”
Harris is yet to respond and he’s probably not going to. He’s too busy promoting his album that features, the “greatest artists of our generation.”
