Pew pew! Shots fired.
Nearly a month ago, Zedd released his collaboration with Aloe Blacc entitled, “Candyman” which was a reconfiguration of the track, “The Candyman”, at the request of M&M’s. The song, an advert for the candy brand, embraces soulful melodies that while commercial, would make anyone feel good- that is, anyone but Diplo.
Outraged by what he would define as sellout, Diplo took to Twitter to publicly exclaim his outrage with the Russian-Germain producer’s latest release,
@Zedd wtf is this?..https://t.co/cN1VAaxDAA 👎🏻👎🏻👎🏻 fake flume drop ft m&ms? It’s not OK do this man come on .. It’s not all about the 💰

@diplo stop being a jealous little bitch and do us all a favor and just shut the fuck up.
Thank you. 🙂— Zedd (@Zedd) March 22, 2016
Rather bold statements from a man who has collaborated with the likes of both Madonna and Justin Bieber. While Diplo and Zedd continued to hash out their differences, it didn’t take long for Deadmau5 to weigh in on the action,
..unless it’s a bieber collab… Coz that’s in no way, about money. We all know zedds shit sucks. But we love him. https://t.co/aYQ7k6ylNX

To which Deadmau5 continued,
Literally hopped off Justin’s dick to say someone’s shit is about money? God DAMN I love Twitter. I do.
