Calvin Harris has been involved in a Twitter spat with Reverend & The Makers' frontman Jon McClure - with the Sheffield star claiming that the DJ 'just presses play'.
Harris took to the social networking site to talk about his set at this weekend's V Festival when McClure, known for his outspoken Twitter antics, responded by questioning his efforts and talent.
The 'Heavyweight Champion Of The World' singer referred to a t-shirt he owned which reads 'Calvin Harris just presses play' before the millionaire DJ replied that he is more successful - at which point McClure simply put: "Hitler was popular."

McClure has also spent much of the morning attacking X Factor girl band Little Mix, who are celebrating their second anniversary:
