deadmau5 And Avicii Get Aggressive During Intense Social Media Battle

There is no more formidable Twitter fighter than Joel Zimmerman aka deadmau5 and today, Avicii jumped into the ring to take some shots. It’s no secret that deadmau5 does not care for the Swede, taking shots at him at every opportunity he gets. Let’s not forget the infamous Ultra 2014 troll or his endless jokes about “Levels”. Today, however, Avicii took to Instagram to take a playful jab at Joel, joking that he should come share in Avicii’s creative process and learn the piano from him.

This comes days after the Canadian producer slammed Avicii and other DJs in a lengthy tumblr post.

(Edit: Heres Joels post – google it) https://news.beatport.com/deadmau5-attacks-avicii-and-other-cd-playing-dipshits/ Hey Mau5 (@deadmau5)!

Clearly, things have escalated quickly since then. It got so ugly that deadmau5 accused Avicii of being a drug addict (which is a rumor that has been floating around for a while) and Avicii has responded with equal ferocity.

Thanks avichi for your valuable input and expertise, even if nobody asked you a fucking thing. Pick a twit beef with someone on your level. — deadmau5 (@deadmau5) July 31, 2015
