What’s the EDM answer to the Drake and Pusha-T beef? The reigniting of the Zedd and Diplo beef…yay. At least a few of our favorite artists have weighed in on Twitter.
First, deadmau5 with the classic pot shots. He reacted more so to Max Vangeli‘s…interesting response to the beef:
Uh. You probably need management now.

Put the fucking bottle down, drink at least 500ml of water, pop and Advil and go to bed.

Holy fuck "bro". The first two tweets were kinda funny, but you need to put the twitter down for a minute and take a nap. I don't even know what's more tired at this point.

…. another one.

Laidback Luke, Darude, tyDi and even his once often production partner AN21 exchanged some playful banter:
So much EDM beef, making me want to be an EDM vegetarian.
— Laidback Luke (@LaidbackLuke) June 12, 2018
Dude, haha, how long have you had that waiting for the right kinda beef? 😂
— Darude (@Darudevil) June 12, 2018
I woke up to a shit storm of awesome entertainment!
— TYDI (@tyDi) June 12, 2018
Agreed, Been doing that for a few years ;D

Matthew Koma offered to sing over Diplo’s Zedd diss track. Okay… we thought he’d be on Zedd’s side, for sure, having sung both “Spectrum” and “Find You.”
I’ll feature.

3LAU went back and forth with Max Vangeli:
Dude i texted you five seconds ago that I’m a fan of your music. You texted me ab a collab the day my album came out, I’m sorry I never replied (i just saw it now) or even remember it. No reason to blast me on twitter when we were just talking personally.

Morgan Page chimed in (with a cameo from tyDi):
Shocking takeaways from the current EDM beef wars: 1) many DJs have overinflated egos 2) producers often bring in outside help 3) twitter is spicy AF 🌶… and nothing is new 🤔

Our favorite Diplo impersonator eventually got involved:
rockstar energy hat ✅
fake twitter followers ✅
calls women hoes ✅
thinks being paid to fly around the world and play music is a great service and sacrifice ✅
self destructing own career ✅
yes folks, it appears that we have an edm dj on our hands https://t.co/EjSiUJiVhb

said it before and ill say it again:
if youre an aspiring producer and need motivation, just look at how ungrateful, entitled and literally dumb the ones ahead of you are.
the bar is not set very high. these spots are there for the taking.
go get it.— Diplo (@_diplo_) June 12, 2018
AutoErotique gave some perspective on the situation:
Diplo didn’t recongize me once but i already valued my self worth and didn’t need his validation to justify my career.
Lots of people have writers, including Zedd, Diplo and Tiesto etc. The entire argument is really weak.

Will anything of real significance come from this beef? Probably not… but it’s damn sure entertaining.
