Dillon Francis popped off in the dance music world at the beginning of this decade, putting out massive moombahton bangers and championing a genre. When he made “IDGAFOS” in 2011, that was the beginning of his huge rise, soon after releasing his Something Something Awesome EP with OWSLA and becoming a regular at HARD Summer Music Festival.
But it’s been a long time since then, and Dillon Francis has grown not only as a producer but as a person, artist, TV star, entertainer, and more. And some people don’t like it.
Dillon released his second album this year, the Spanish-language WUT WUT, featuring a variety of rising artists from Latin America. It’s not moombah (mostly), and it’s definitely not like Money Sucks, Friends Rule, his debut album released in 2014. It is its own thing. That’s okay.
Then again, some people just can’t leave well enough alone, and Dillon had enough today. He spent the better part of an hour responding to haters on Twitter, laying down the facts and telling them to “grow up” and move on.
Dillon Francis is a “mainstream whore” now. Alert the presses!
Grow up. https://t.co/Rxzrntddwy
