'Do you do birthday parties?' Kanye West taunts Deadmau5 after music producer accuses him of illegally downloading computer programme

Kanye West has taken to Twitter to taunt Deadmau5's 'Minnie Mouse' costume and ask him if he'll play North West's birthday party, after the producer accused him of stealing a production program. 

On Wednesday, Kanye taunted back: 'Do you do birthday parties??' And he took a jab at the producer's mouse mask costume, adding: 'My daughter loves minnie mouse.'

The producer didn't mince his words, shooting back: '@kanyewest perform at your own daughters parties. You're a bigger f***in clown than anyone I know.'

'Can you please bring the minnie mouse head... not yours,' wrote Kanye. 'She specifically likes minnie mouse...I need you to perform at her party with specifically a minnie mouse dead-mow-five head... not a mickey mouse dead-mow-five head.'

And he offered to stream the birthday bash on streaming service Tidal if Deadmau5 dressed up as Minnie correctly.

'I want to stream you performing in a Minnie Mouse head on @Tidal,' wrote the Waves rapper.

'I'm very detail oriented and I will know the difference to don't try to just throw a bow on the original head...' he cautioned.

It all started when Deadmau5 criticized Kanye on Twitter after Yeezy shared a photo of his laptop, which showed open tabs for illegal downloading site Pirate Bay and the production program Serum.

Deadmau5 , who also cofounded Xfer Records, tweeted to Kanye - who recently said he was $53 million in debt - on Tuesday: 'What the f*** @kanyewest ... Can't afford serum? D***.' 

Kanye hit back, beginning his latest Twitter outburst by poking fun at the producer's mouse head costume.

'Ok very serious question...' he began. 'Who's (sic) job is it to carry the head on the plane... do you check the mickey mouse head or carry on?'

'Does it get hot?' he pondered.

'Ok another super serious question... is there a portable fan situation?' 

Disney fan? Kanye said his two-year-old daughter North West, seen with her dad on the way to dance class in November, is a big Minnie Mouse fan 

Offer: The rapper said he'd stream the birthday party gig on Tidal, after joking that Deadmau5 had increased subscribers to Tidal by three mice emojis

The 'bored' rapper continued: 'When you get married will your wife have a giant minnie mouse head? That brightened up my day thank you dead-mow-five.'

The Ultralight Beams rapper also took at jab at Deadmau5's connection to streaming service Tidal, joking that he had raised subscriptions by a 'whopping' three mice emojis. 

Kanye exclusively released new album The Life of Pablo on the streaming site, which doubled subscriptions for Tidal as fans signed up to listen.

Kourtney Kardashian also weighed in on her brother-in-law's latest social media outburst.

'I want everyone to know I live for @kanyewest's tweets,' the 36-year-old reality star Tweeted.

Earlier on Wednesday, Kanye also announced that he would be releasing a new project with rappers 2Chainz and Lil Wayne on Friday.

The news comes as Saturday Night Life producer Lorne Michaels broke his silence on Kanye's 'meltdown' backstage at the comedy show.

The rapper was secretly recorded reacting angrily after crew members dismantled part of his set shortly before he was set to perform on February 13.

'That happened in his dressing room,' Lorne told E! News.

'Kanye's been on the show a lot of years, and it's always different. He's an artist, you know? A great artist.'

The social media spat with DeadMau5 began when the rapper took to Twitter to share a photo of his laptop screen to show that he was listening to a Sufjan Stevens song.

Uh oh: Kanye West has upset several fans as he appeared to be using illegal file sharing site Pirate Bay

But eagle-eyed fans found something much more interesting about the snap. One of the tabs Kanye had open in his web browser read 'Pirate Bay Torrent Xfe...' which lead many to believe that he could have been downloading an illegal torrent.

Others, including EDM producer Deadmau5, even accused him of stealing wavetable synthesizer programme Serum by Xfer Records as 'Xfer Records Serum t..' could be seen in another one of the tabs.

The music production programme, which retails for $189, is used to produce high-quality sound with an easy-to-use interface.

Caught red handed? Kanye's screenshot shows two tabs one that reads 'Xfer Records Serum t...' and the other 'Pirate Bay Torent Xfer...' which led many to think he had downloaded the music production programme Serum illegally

Not happy: EDM producer Deadmau5 accused Kanye of illegally downloading the wavetable synthesizer plugin which is sold by his friend Steve Duda

Taking it personal: The 35-year-old music producer - real name Joel Thomas Zimmerman - took to Twitter to not only accuse the rapper of stealing the programme but also offering to create a collection to get Kanye a legit copy

The 35-year-old music producer - real name Joel Thomas Zimmerman - did not stop there as he continued:  'Let's start a Kickstarter to help @kanyewest afford a copy of Serum.'

 The Ghost & Stuff hitmaker finished off the social media rant with: 'He needs a small loan of 200$ #prayforyeezy.'

One user posted: '@kanyewest torrenting serum? nice. @steve_duda congrats you've made it.' 

Steve Duda is a musical artist who is close friends and often works with Deadmau5, who also creates plugins used for music production under his Xfer Records brand which sells Serum.

Another Twitter user wrote: '@kanyewest DOG IM SURE U CAN AFFORD SERUM CMON MAN.'

This comes just weeks after it was reported that the Good Life hitmaker was considering a lawsuit against the file-sharing site Pirate Bay.

'Kanye is going to meet with his legal team to discuss the possibilities of starting legal action against torrent site Pirate Bay,' a source told HollywoodLife.com.

Within 24 hours of it's release, Kanye's latest album The Life Of Pablo was reportedly pirated 500K times and the husband of Kim Kardashian was not happy about losing those profits.

More problems: At least 500,000 people illegally downloaded his latest album The Life of Pablo (above) during its first day of release

The insider for the gossip site also explained that Kanye is 'furious because he's potentially lost millions of dollars.'

Just a few weeks ago the artist who refers to himself as Yeezus claimed to be $53 million in debt.

This all comes to a head as the tension over money and power has been thrust into the public eye after he took to Twitter last month to open up about his debt and even make a public plea to Mark Zuckerberg to 'invest 1 billion dollars into Kanye West ideas.'

After making the public appeal, he then claimed he had a great response, with 'billionaires and hedge fund guys' quickly getting in touch.

However, he has launched into another late night Twitter rant where he said he wouldn't 'let people use my debt against me.'

He started the rant by saying: 'For the past 3 years people who knew about the debt tried to use it against me in negotiations.

'You can't control me or use the debt against me no more.

'Money doesn't make me who I am. I wanted the world to know my struggle.

'You can point fingers and laugh, but for all entrepreneurs with families this country was built off of dreamers … never give up on your dreams, bro… my dreams brought me into debt and I'm close to seeing the light of day.'

And he continued his rant by saying: 'Perhaps Adidas will do some big Lebron style deal or perhaps a fashion group will cover the 53 that I've invested over the past 13 years.'
