Afrojack comments on his relationship with Paris Hilton
Afrojack was recently interviewed by a journalist from Complex.com:
Q: It seems like you truly have an emotional connection with the experience that you create through music. But back to Paris, did you teach her how to DJ? What was your involvement in her DJ career?
A: She’s a good friend of mine-well, let me rephrase it, used to be a good friend of mine-we were working on music together but she never said anything about the whole DJ thing so I didn’t really have anything to do with it. I didn’t know about it until the press release. It’s funny but I don’t care.
Q: Would you consider working with her now?
A: Basically, what’s more important than music to me is family and friends and I will always be open for family and friends. Even if, for example, you. You’re interviewing me right now, you come to Philadelphia, we do another interview, and we’re like ‘Oh my God’ and we become best friends. Then you say, ‘I want to become a producer.’ An interviewer turning into a producer, people will say, ‘Yeah that’s impossible she’s a journalist’ but if you’re my friend, what kind of friend would I be if I didn’t help you? On the other hand, if we’re friends and you don’t ask me for my help or anything then you start talking about how I taught you-well, I didn’t. Then I’m pissed off, that’s not nice. Don’t bullshit me.
It was a weird situation but I don’t think it should get too much more attention, I’m pretty sure it was a one time thing and it happens. Personally, we’re still okay. I don’t have anything to do with her whole DJing thing and I have to say that if someone says, ‘Oh Afrojack taught me how to DJ’ and you can’t DJ, that kind of sucks for me.

Ok… Has Paris ever stated that Afrojack taught her how to DJ? I don’t recall!
Very disappointed! I hope they’ll pair up again.

I’m 99.999999% certain that she never said that. She was always just like “I’ve been spending a lot of time with different DJs” or “I learned a lot from DJ AM” but never “Afrojack taught me how to DJ.” There’s also just no way he didn’t know about her gig before the press release. I think he’s just making all this up to try and save~ street cred or something. But he (and Paris) should still be professional and put out everything they did together, or at least the collabs they did with Flo Rida, LMFAO, and Snoop.

Paris seems to captivate all these music guys, they fall in love with her. For example, Scott Storch, 2005, Fat Joe, etc. She loves them for, like 10 seconds, and then she moves on! This is what happened to Afrojack.

Paris will do well no matter what she choses to do.
Afrojack is good at his music but he lacks social finesse.
As you recall, many of us had reservations about this budding friendship.
But it’s water under the bridge.Paris has moved on.

He’s being a jerk.

Paris burned her relationship with Afrojack, so all the material they recorded together she can’t use anymore – that’s why there’s no more album being released and she’s recording more material with other producers.

That’s not really true though. She still has every legal right to use the music she recorded with him, she’s just choosing not to because they’re mad at each other which is really lame, but there’s nothing we can really do about that. I’m just going to pray that her music leaks before the end of the year.
