Deadmau5 called Kanye West out on Twitter after he caught the "Famous" rapper pirating his synth software Serum, but despite being the one who's stealing music and programs, West isn't taking the criticism lying down. Instead, he fired back at the DJ on Twitter, making fun of his trademark mouse helmet and asking him to play daughter North West's next birthday party.
Despite both being co-owners of TIDAL, a feud is now brewing between West and Deadmau5. After West was caught torrenting Serum and the Sufjan Stevens track "Death with Dignity" on Tuesday night (March 1), Deadmau5 called him out for using the software, which runs for about $200, without paying.
What the fuck @kanyewest ... Can't afford serum? Dick. pic.twitter.com/8B2aiyORZs

Let's start a Kickstarter to help @kanyewest afford a copy of Serum. — deadmau5 (@deadmau5) March 2, 2016
But, West is not one for criticism and he fired back at Deadmau5 on Twitter. He totally ignored the torrent issue at hand, West instead attached Deadmau5's name, clout on TIDAL and his signature mouse helmet and ears.
In a petty turn, he asked Deadmau5 to dress up as North West's favorite character Minnie Mouse and DJ her third birthday party.

Do you do birthday parties?? My daughter loves Minnie mouse… — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) March 2, 2016
can you please bring the minnie mouse head … not yours she specifically likes minnie mouse …
— 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. — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) March 2, 2016
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
I want to stream you performing in a Minnie Mouse head on @Tidal — KANYE WEST (@kanyewest) March 2, 2016
Deadmau5 has yet to fire back at West, but don't expect that to last long.
