For days now, the music world has held its collective breath over the brewing beef between young hyperpop acts Bassvictim and daine. The young hyperpop artist daine will release their debut album In Endless Awe & Agony later this year, and London duo Bassvictim dropped a remix of daine's single "PQC" last month. In a recent Instagram live session, Bassvictim member Ike Clateman claimed that daine's team were "hitting us up over and over again to do a remix" and that "the offer just kept getting higher and higher." In the comments, daine wrote, "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." Oh shit! It's on!
Well, we can now breathe a little easier, since the beef appears to be settled, at least for now. On Bassvictim's Instagram story yesterday, Clateman wrote, "Never meant to diss daine sorry, didnt call u desperate either." Clateman went on to say that he "appreciated the enthusiasm enough that i was willing to give it a shot when we never really do that kind of thing" and that the issue was "not that deep bro."
In a follow-up post, Clateman also praised daine's original track: "Wouldnt even have been able to make the remix if i hadnt loved the vocal melody and content of the stems. Its gorgeous stuff fr."
What a relief! We can now enjoy daine's original "PQC" and the Bassvictim remix without worrying about war erupting in the streets.
