Deadmau5 Bashes Paris Hilton, Calls Her Presence In EDM 'Insulting'

Deadmau5 isn't too stoked about Paris Hilton's new gig as a DJ.

The artist, aka Joel Zimmerman, wrote a recent blog post bashing the heiress for her recent exploits in EDM, which reportedly earn Hilton a million bucks per set, NME reports. "So Paris makes a billion dollars playing a CD at a club. that's great. how is this news again? Personally, i would pay about as much to see her 'perform' as [race car driving] fans would pay to watch me struggle to get out of first gear and 20 feet off the starting grid in an Indy500 race without ending up in a wreck," he wrote.

Deadmau5 continued with the racing metaphor, writing, "So, don't you think it would be a tad insulting to the professionals and fans of the driving world if I just showed up one day ... dated a driver, then hopped on the circuit the following week 'just coz i can'? god ... even I know my fuckin limits ... shit."

The artist went on to urge Hilton to leave the EDM community and let the professionals do their work.

Hilton responded indirectly to Deadmau5 via Twitter. "I find it hilarious when others try to badmouth me in order to get attention," she wrote. "Sorry that I'm #Killingit while doing what I love & live for."

The EDM star (Deadmau5, not Hilton) responded with a zippy remark, this time opting for a dental metaphor. "If I wanted attention, I'd put out a sex tape, fuck a dentist, then charge a million for root canals. For now, imma just be me."

This feud could go on like this forever. We'll let you know if it get any uglier.
