Kanye West has unleashed another epic Twitter rant, this time targeting fellow musician deadmau5, who accused Kanye of pirating synthesizer software in a Monday night tweet.

It all began when West tweeted a photo of the song he was listening to, Sufjan Stevens’ “Death With Dignity.”

According to Billboard, deadmau5, real name Joel Zimmerman, spotted an open browser tab that seemed to show West was trying to illegally download the program Serum from The Pirate Bay. Zimmerman’s friend, Steve Duda, coded the program and sells it. So, Zimmerman tweeted a response:

Deadmau5 has not responded.

Piracy has been a touchy subject for Kanye lately. His new album, “The Life of Pablo,” has been downloaded illegally a record number of times after he decided to only stream it on Tidal.

He has threatened to sue The Pirate Bay, the same site deadmau5 just caught him using, in response, according to Torrent Freak.
