Deadmau5 Calls Out Kanye West for Software Piracy
Last night, Kanye West tweeted a screenshot to show fans what he was listening to on YouTube. The photo caught the attention of deadmau5, who noticed that one of Yeezy’s browser tabs was open to a Pirate Bay search for the Serum synthesizer plug-in, which is popular among dance and hip-hop producers. Having assumed that Kanye was looking to illegally download the software, deadmau5 responded with the following tweet:
What the fuck @kanyewest … Can't afford serum? Dick. pic.twitter.com/8B2aiyORZs

The outspoken DJ/producer then followed up by suggesting a fundraiser should be launched so that Kanye can buy the plug-in. The tweet is presumably making fun of Kanye’s recent claim that he is $53 million in debt and appeal to Mark Zuckerberg for a $1 billion loan.
Let's start a Kickstarter to help @kanyewest afford a copy of Serum.

The piracy accusations come just weeks after sources reported that Kanye was considering a lawsuit against The Pirate Bay for illegally distributing The Life of Pablo. However, a suit has not yet been filed.
Kanye has since fired back at mau5 with a barrage of tweets making fun of his mouse outfit.
@Deadmau5 … is this person’s name pronounced dead-mow-five?

— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) March 2, 2016
I need you to perform at her party with specifically a minnie mouse dead-mow-five head… not a mickey mouse dead-mow-five head.

I’m very detailed oriented and I will know the difference so don’t try to just throw a bow on the original head…
— KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) March 2, 2016
