It looks like Kanye West has landed himself in a fresh controversy. West's new tweet shows him using illegal means to get Deadmau5's software, Serum. Meanwhile, The Pirate Bay has stated that it will offer him any tech support he needs.

West's new album titled "The Life of Pablo" was released and soon, it was leaked on The Pirate Bay and other torrent websites. West was upset and sources revealed that he was planning to take legal action against TPB.

Ironically, Yeezy's latest tweet, which is a screenshot of his computer screen, shows West listening to Sufjan Steven's song "Death with Dignity."

However, after inspecting closely, the open tabs reveal a different story. The second tab reads "Pirate Bay Torrent Xfer..." According to TorrentFreak, the tab is not from the torrent website but a website that makes use of The Pirate Bay brand.

The website also noted that it is possible that West was looking for a synthesizer software named Serum by Xfer Records. Moreover, other tabs that raise the suspicion is an article by Music Radar about the 50 best VST/AU plugins.

The Pirate Bay also made a comment about the recent Kanye West piracy controversy. Spud17, The Pirate Bay staff member has assured that they will give him technical support if he lands in trouble.

"If he runs into difficulty he should try the forum for technical help and support," Spud17 told TF.

"Makes me wonder just how skint he claims to be, perhaps he's 'slumming it' to try and regain some credibility."

DJ Deadmau5 noticed the tweet and he took a shot at West on Twitter and called him a "d**k."

Deadmau5 is the co-founder of Xfer Records, the DJ also called for a Kickstater campaign to raise funds for a legit copy of Serum for West. Serum is priced at $189 for Mac and Windows. Deadmau5 also started a hashtag named #prayforyeezy.
