deadmau5 dispute

The music video for "Ritual" originally briefly featured an interpretation of Canadian electronic music producer and DJ deadmau5's "mau5head" logo (with a third ear as a Mohawk) being worn by a fan. [15] [16] This was disputed by deadmau5, who claimed "I'd rather be associated with a pile of dog shit". [10] [17] [18] On November 3, 2016, the music video was reuploaded with the disputed scene removed. [19] However, the original upload remains on record label Owsla's YouTube channel, but is currently unlisted. [19]

Marshmello had previously referenced deadmau5, in the music video for "Alone", which features Marshmello's pet mouse, Joel (deadmau5's real name). [20] [21]
