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) 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.[19]
