DJ superstar Deadmau5 (aka Joel Zimmerman) is becoming a controversial figure in the past week.
You must have seen the infamous Purrari by now, right? It’s a Ferrari 458 Italia convertible designed as a tribute to the internet meme, the Nyan cat, in the most over the top car wrap EVER.
However, it seems Ferrari aren’t too happy with the DJ as a “cease and desist” letter by Ferrari of North America in an attempt to restore the 458 to its original white coloured wrap. Basically get rid of the Nyan Car design forever.
Despite going through a legal battle with Disney at the moment over his Deadmau logo (similar to Mickey Mouse), Zimmerman wasted no time letting his feeling known on Twitter.
I wonder if the jackass lawyer at @FerrariUSA who sent us a “cease and desist” letter over the purrari is un-butthurt now that I unwrapped.

Yeah it was mostly about the custom floor matts and the custom purrari badges. Whatever. It’s just a normal ass 458 now. All good.
