daine Responds to Bassvictim DJ’s Controversial Remix Claims
Electronic artist daine addresses Bassvictim’s remarks about their remix collaboration, calling the comments 'weird' and denying desperation for the remix.
Electronic artist daine is set to release their debut album *In Endless Awe & Agony* later this year, but the hyperpop scene is already buzzing with drama. The controversy stems from comments made by Ike Clateman of Bassvictim during an Instagram Live session, where he discussed their recent remix of daine’s track *PQC*.
## Bassvictim’s Controversial Remarks
During the livestream, Clateman claimed that daine’s team repeatedly reached out for a remix, increasing their offer until Bassvictim agreed. He stated:
> The daine remix I just made in 20 minutes 'cause they were, like, hitting us up over and over again to do a remix. We don't really do remixes and stuff. The offer just kept getting higher and higher. My management was like, 'You wanna do it, they're offering this amount now,' and we were in Vietnam. And I was just like, 'Fuck it.' And I just opened the stems. I didn't even listen to the song, I just started playing with them in the computer. And I did it in like 30 minutes and they liked it. And then I listened to the song afterwards and it's pretty good. But I like our version better.
The remarks were shared on TikTok by the account *hyperslopdaily*, with overlaid text reading *Bassvictim ends Daine, confirms nepo*.
## daine’s Response
daine responded to the video, calling the comments *poor taste and weird af*. They clarified that their team had approached Bassvictim for the remix, not the other way around, and denied any desperation or excessive spending. Their statement read:
> this is poor taste and weird af i DID NOOOT think it was like that at all. my team asked if id like a BV remix & i said yes they’re awesome. our teams know each other. i was not desperate & i did not break the bank at all.
daine also referenced the dispute on X, posting:
> i’m overly nepotistic !
and later:
> isaiah 54:17 any white man formed against me shall not prosper.
The back-and-forth highlights ongoing tensions within the hyperpop community, with daine standing firm against what they perceive as misrepresentations.
