Proud to say I signed my first record deal ever with Columbia Records! http://t.co/91dNhgzHvt

The album, originally expected to drop sometime this month, will be titled ‘Money Sucks, Friends Rule’ and is slated for a July release after being pushed back. Naturally, fans are divided on whether or not the record deal will be beneficial to Francis’ career and EDM as a whole. Dillon quickly took to Twitter to address the haters:

It’s insane that people are calling me a sell out and I haven’t even put a record out to compromise the integrity of my music

Known for his internet antics and his lighthearted persona, Francis poked fun at everyone throwing shade by changing his Twitter handle to “DILLONSELLOUTFRANCIS”. Take that EDM snobs! And to all you diehard Dillon fangirls out there, fret not. DJ Hanzel remains forever faithful…

In the record deal we wrote a clause that Columbia has to send me a 20 dollar gift card to @TacoBell the 5th of each month for 12 months

Katy Perry has released her video for her newest single “Roar” which will appear on her upcoming album PRISM due October 22nd. The video depicts a group text message between Katy and some of her friends, with animated emojis spelling out parts of the text messages. A totally original idea! Right?

EDM fans and Dillon Francis fanatics alike are probably watching Katy’s newest video and shaking their heads. Why? Because Dillon Francis released his music video for “Messages” featuring Simon Lord four months prior, also featuring text messages and animated emojis. Francis has also been using the animated emoji theme throughout his 2013 performances.

Francis was quick to lash out at Katy, tweeting:

Damn first @official_flo steals @diplo‘s “butters theme” music idea now @katyperry steals my “messages” music video idea..What the fuck?

and:

Legitimately this is so dope that @katyperry‘s director thought my video was good enough to rip off

— DILLON FRANCIS (@DILLONFRANCIS) August 12, 2013

No response from Katy yet other than tweets stating how popular her single is becoming. She is scheduled to perform at the MTV Video Music awards on August 25th.
