Skrillex and Deadmau5 Are Still Twitter-Beefing

Grab the popcorn.

EDM’s most laughable feud continues: Earlier this summer, when Deadmau5 took a gander at Skrillex and Diplo’s “Where Are Ü Now,” the dance-music purist took shots at the two producers, calling the song “shit.” Skrillex went on to blast the mau5 (whose label, mau5trap, Skrillex had previously been signed to), telling a radio station, “He’s an asshole and everyone knows it,” which led to some #sorrynotsorry tweets from the mouse-head about his admitted asshole behavior. Fast-forward to early Sunday morning, and the two are still going at it. This time, Skrillex stirred up more beef with his former boss in a series of seemingly unprovoked critical tweets aimed at Deadmau5’s managerial skills.

.@deadmau5 I dont care bout ur personal career but the fact that u own ur own record label is sad.I feel sorry the artists you've signed

.@deadmau5 youre great at finding talented people but ur leadership skills are atrocious. I'm sure you don't care tho.

so the reason I've tweeted about @deadmau5 is because I want you all to know I've never bitched out. I never respond to his 💩

I'm forever grateful for the mau5's early support but the reality is sad. He's shriveling In his own pile of hatful 💩💩💩💩💩😁

.@deadmau5 if you ever need a buddy to talk to ill always be here for you. But just know your worlds effect more people than you know🙏🏻

Never one to ignore an opportunity to speak his mind, Deadmau5 began his snarky rebuttal:

@Skrillex I count meowingtons, the other cat, and whoever the fuck else listens to this shit.

Thanks internet therapists.

@Skrillex the fact that I own a record label is sad? OK. It's a sad label. Let's have a cry. I don't tell my artists what to do. Clearly.

— deadmau5 (@deadmau5) November 1, 2015

@Skrillex oh burrrnnnn! Yeah. We suck. But we're 18% less suckier than last quarter.

— deadmau5 (@deadmau5) November 1, 2015

. @deadmau5 no it's sad the people on your label have the worst label head ever aka you bro

— SKRILLEX (@Skrillex) November 1, 2015

@Skrillex tell you what. Lemme borrow the lil popstar for a week, mash together a radio hit in 23 minutes, and will be good label! Yay!

— deadmau5 (@deadmau5) November 1, 2015

In summary: 2 EDM sellouts bitching about who's got a good label and or who's sad. Welcome to 2015. That's about all I'm getting outta this

Like every other argument on Halloween, it ended (for now) with a costumed selfie, ruminations on EDM’s “interesting paradigm,” and a PSA on bullying:

Can I go to bed now?

@deadmau5 EDM sellouts... Coming from the dick who constantly 💩s on EDM lol

— SKRILLEX (@Skrillex) November 1, 2015

— SKRILLEX (@Skrillex) November 1, 2015

@Skrillex yeah, it's definitely an interesting paradigm, that's for sure.

— deadmau5 (@deadmau5) November 1, 2015

@Skrillex what is it?

— deadmau5 (@deadmau5) November 1, 2015

I bet you he's drunk. https://t.co/ZN55NxW5Bh

— deadmau5 (@deadmau5) November 1, 2015

Shit, I hope he's not headed home on his iohawk... Don't drink and roll kids.

— deadmau5 (@deadmau5) November 1, 2015

you can ignore bullying but at some point you have to stand up for yourself and your friends 🙏🏻

— Skrillex (@Skrillex) November 1, 2015

Is it too late now to say sorry?
