All’s not well in the EDM world.
Following news that Paris Hilton makes earns more than $1 million per gig spinning at places like Atlantic City, Dubai, Vietnam, Shanghai, and Ibiza, famous DJ Deadmau5 has taken to his personal blog to slam the heiress for making money off of “playing a CD at a club.”
“Look, as much as shes probably loathed by the EDM world… and me, you can’t possibly hold it against her for involvement in the electronic music scene,” he writes. “Remember back when, at the Cosmo in Vegas, she attended, and I guess I was accommodating (as far as that usually goes for me) I could see she was having a fun time, liked the music, and just wanted to be a part of it all… so of course, why not… even I couldn’t hate on that.”
He continues, “But, let’s get real here for a second…There’s being involved / enthusiastic about something…and then there’s just being a straight up ass.”
Deadmau5 — born Joel Zimmerman — then compares Hilton’s career as a DJ as someone entering the Indy 500 as a total amateur.
“Dont 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,” he writes, referring to Hilton’s past relationship with Afrojack. ”So Paris, thank you… were actually not even mad you’re enthusiastic about electronic music… we love that you’re a part of our party. But please, get the fuck back in your go kart.
He adds, “No need to prove that you found someone stupid enough to consider paying you a million dollars for something the world knows you aren’t… because here’s what you actually are to everyone who knows better…Ticket sales. Nothing more.”
However, Hilton hints that she doesn’t seem to mind the criticism by subtweeting the following:
I find it hilarious when others try to badmouth me in order to get attention. Sorry that I’m #Killingit while doing what I love & live for.
