Back in February, deadmau5 and Wildstylez had some words over Twitter regarding a perceived jacking of "Some Chords." As of right now, we've not heard any word on if that particular issue was ever resolved, but there's new beef, so we have to put that on hold. That's right, as you can see from the tweets up above, deadmau5 has called out Trey Songz over the familiarities in Trey's Nicki Minaj-featured "Touchin, Lovin" and deadmau5's five-year-old remix of Calvin Harris' "I'm Not Alone." As Dancing Astronaut pointed out, you can definitely hear the similarities; "Touchin, Lovin" sounds like a slowed-down version of the remix at one point. At the time of this writing, there's been no word from Trey Songz or The Featherstones, who produced the track from Trey's sixth album, Trigga. It looks like Calvin Harris chimed in to basically say "that was five years ago," but that doesn't seem to be stopping deadmau5. Listen to both down tracks down below: you want to listen out for 1:45 into Trey's song (no pun intended), and 4:45 of deadmau5's remix.

(You also have to love that this track also flips the hook from The Notorious B.I.G.'s "Fucking You Tonight.")
