By now everyone should know that Kanye West won't let anything go.
So, when Deadmau5 called Kanye a "d**k" on Twitter, it was only a matter of time before he responded. Now, Kanye wants Deadmau5 to perform his daughter's birthday Party.

When Kanye posted the day three update of his Turbo Grafx 16 album scheduled for this summer, it was revealed that he might have been downloading a synthesizer and visualizer software called Serum without paying for it.
That's when EDM DJ and producer Deadmau5 jumped on Kanye and asked him if he couldn't afford the software and followed it up by calling him a "d**k." Now Kanye has released a couple of tweets mocking Deadmau5's persona and his contributions to Tidal.

Kanye started his answer to Deadmau5's tweet by asking him about the mouse head that he wears during his performances. The logo is also cemented in the DJ's persona and was once the issue in a trademark battle with Disney.
Kanye questioned who was in charge of the mouse head when he is traveling.
Deadmau5 happens to be one of the artists aligned with Tidal and Kanye continued to mock him by diminishing the amount of subscriptions that the DJ rose, though the number was displayed in mouse emoji's and are probably not accurate. Then, Kanye brought North West into the mix by saying that his daughter was a huge fan of Minnie Mouse.
He went on to ask Deadmau5 to perform at her birthday party as Minnie Mouse and also said he wanted to stream Deadmau5 in a Minnie Mouse head performance.
This might be the lightest Kanye has ever taken it on someone who called him out.
