The hills of Twitter were alive with the sounds of bickering last night, as Mad Decent dubstepper Rusko and masked electro-house jock Deadmau5 had a right old barney.

It all started, apparently, when Deadmau5 (real name: Joel Zimmerman) told Rusko off for smoking weed backstage at a gig. In Rusko’s words, “a dj with a HUGE ego last night threw a huge hissy fit at me last night for smoking weed in the backstage… i told him to fuckoff and he ran for some security like a pussy bitch.” He then went on to reference Deadmau5 directly, claiming than “next time I see u ima snap u like a twig you skinny little CUNT.”

Deadmau5 then, ahem, ‘hit back’ on Facebook, making the following statement:

“well… i guess the whole thing stems from him claiming that i “busted him for smoking pot” in denver.

“first of all… i dont give a flying fuck what he does.

“second of all, his dressing room was NOWHERES near mine.

“my tour manager hasnt left me the entire night… and im pretty sure if something like that would have went down… i’d probably remeber it, and so would he.

“SO theres an obvious conclusion here… he’s got a new album coming up… and a tour… and fuckit./.. some fucking edrama certainly wont hurt ANY of that. Not that i would expect a self-proclaimed pothead to devise such and evil-genius scheme… but if i would expect anything from a self-proclaimed pot head, i’d certainly expect them to be alot more chilled out and relaxed as opposed to whinning and fucking bitching and threatening me for whatever fuckin reason.”

then again, it’s not for everyone…. so go figure. Oddly enough, it doesnt make me enjoy his music any less than i always have.

Our conclusion: Rusko looks dumber, but has marginally better spelling and doesn’t wear a massive mouse mask on his head. That’s got to count for something.

Oh, and in another recent case of Twitter beef, apparently Zomby’s going to shoot Roska. Our money’s definitely on Roska if it comes to a throwdown.
