Paris Hilton Believes She Has Proven Her Haters Wrong

Paris Hilton is no stranger to controversy. Having been constantly bashed by dance music fans, DJs or just music fans in general on her decision to become a DJ. However, in a recent interview with EDMTunes, the socialite believes she has proven her haters wrong.

Speaking about her entry into the dance music scene, she said:

You know, I could totally see their point. If I hadn’t been to one of my shows before and I saw “Oh, Paris Hilton is gonna be a DJ,” I would understand how people, if they haven’t been to one of my parties, would be critical. But I think, and I know, that all these people that do come to my shows, when they do come, they’re like “Wow, I’m so surprised, I had no idea. You’re incredible. I can’t believe this. This is amazing. I had the time of my life.” Some of the biggest and best DJ’s come to my shows in Ibiza. People I really respect. So, to hear that coming from those kinds of people makes me feel so proud. I think I’ve really proven all the haters wrong. Now I’m coming back for my third year as resident DJ at Amnesia, I’m going to be there for the next three months playing every Saturday. So, I think I’ve definitely proven myself over the past five years.”

When asked about the entire incident with Steve Angello back in 2009, where she requested him to play a song during his set, Hilton seemed pretty apologetic

“You know what, that was…I was there for my friend’s birthday. I had never been to Winter Music Conference in my life. She really wanted to hear Bob Sinclair’s “Love Generation.” So, I asked Dave Grutman, the owner, “Can they play the song?” He’s like, “Why don’t you go ask the DJ?” So, you know, I was used to [that]; I’m friends with DJ AM and everybody. I always used to go up to my friends, “Oh, do you mind playing this song?” And they’d be like, “Of course.” I didn’t realize this is Winter Music Conference during like, Ultra, and I’m asking, you know, one of the biggest DJ’s to play a song. So, now that I look back at it I’m like,” Oh my god, what was I thinking? I’m so embarrassed.” Actually Steve and I talked about it at EDC a few years ago. We made up; everything is cool. I totally apologized, and I felt really silly. Because I can’t imagine now, DJ’ing, and someone coming up and requesting a song to me. I definitely learned from that.”

Citing Kaskade and Calvin Harris as inspirations, Hilton also spoke about the influence of Daft Punk on her and how they still serve as an inspiration to her.
