Egotistical EDM star Afrojack is reportedly keeping himself in a state of cat-like readiness in case he is presented with an opportunity to loudly trumpet his own greatness.
Some of the subtle techniques that Afrojack is believed to employ in his effort to get across the message of how amazing he is include photographing himself with people more famous than him, driving pretentious cars, speaking about himself in the third person and having his name in garish neon lights at his expensive shows.
In a recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine the DJ responded to questions regarding his stance on the situation in Iraq as “dangerous with the potential to destabilise the entire region, but it’s probably something an Afrojack show could sort out in one night. Sunnis and Shi’ites both love Afrojack”.
“Everybody there has totally heard of me and would welcome a night of big room EDM,” he continued. “Who wouldn’t? I’ve just got such energy and charisma that I’m like a force of nature. E=mc Afrojack.”
Afrojack, seen her employing selective hearing to turn boos into cheers, went on to tell the group of assembled journalists hoping to ask about his current collaboration with Sting that “yes [he] does struggle sometimes with being so much better than other people but thankfully because [he is] so much better [he’s] able to handle it”.
“People come up to me all the time and say ‘oh you’re that guy that got publicly humiliated by Eminem’ or ‘you’re Paris Hilton’s ghost writer’ but I know what they’re really trying to say,” he concluded. “They’re saying ‘you’re so relevant and your music isn’t total shit and you’re definitely the best DJ alive in the world and not freakishly tall.'”
“Their words,” he added, before leaving the interview to reassure himself of his status by looking in the mirror and repeating the mantra ‘you’re the best’ to himself, “not mine.”
