Deadmau5 is back in the news again and this time it’s not because he went on a coffee run with a famous person, trolled a fellow DJ or performed with some cool new technology.
In a series of tweets sent out on Monday, the Toronto native accused Trey Songz of ripping off his 2009 remix of Calvin Harris’ “I’m Not Alone” for the Nicki Minaj-assisted “Touchin, Lovin” (the 5th most-downloaded track on DJcity in July).
