Electro and house superstar deadmau5 has branded Madonna an ‘idiot’ – after she referenced MDMA, the active chemical in class A drug Ecstasy, during a performance at an electronic music festival last weekend.
Madonna’s latest album offering ‘MDNA’ came under a lot of fire back when the record’s name was first released, with many slating her for what seems like a reference to the club drug. Then, last Saturday (March 24th), Madge took to the stage at Miami’s Ultra Music Festival and asked the audience: “How many people in this crowd have seen Molly (‘Molly’ is a common street name for the powdered form of the drug)?’
The comments left deadmau5 less than an impressed, and the star took to his official Facebook to start a huge rant against the singer.
He wrote: “very classy there madonna. "HUR DUR HAS ANYONE SEEN MOLLY???" such a great message for the young music lovers at ultra. quite the f'n philanthropist. but hey, at least yer HIP AND TRENDY! fucking cant smack my head hard enough right now.
“seriously, i giveth not a fucking single FUCK for slating on madonna for reaching an entirely NEW level of idiocy ... i can appriciate her meteoric career, and all good deeds done, but WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT? That's your big contribution to EDM? Thats your big message to ultra attendies? hipsterspeak for looking for drugs? fuck off you fucking IDIOT. fuck.”
Deadmau5 went on to admit that although he was a smoker and a drinker, he was neither an advocate or attempting to look cool – saying: “I smoke cigarettes. yeah, it's shitty i know, and its a personal problem that i struggle with… I drink a little bit too, which im sure has killed more people than double the combined amount of overdoses on any recreational drug you can name….
“So, i try to make an effort as not to blatantly condone it in situations where the youngins are around. and trust me, the mau5 horde has plenty of little ones… So, i dont see the dire need to be a constant dickfuck and stamp my vices all over my media outlets. Sometimes it happens, but, of course, my intent isnt to make any look cool or desireable [sic].”
