THE divorce between world-renowned DJ David Guetta and his wife Cathy has hit a real sour note.

The New York Post reports the high-profile split has gotten nasty as they try to divide their assets.

Although the couple’s divorce was reportedly finalised in a Parisian court in March, a source confirmed: “Cathy owns all of the business names, and the music [rights], [including] their F**k Me I’m Famous brand” of dance parties and popular compilation albums.

“Even though [their divorce] is finalised, things are not good.”

Another music insider added: “She’s taking a lot of his money. He’s worth $30 million, she’ll probably take $15 million of that.”

But many dance music insiders aren’t surprised, given that Cathy collaborated with David during most of the 24 years they were married and helped him grow into an inteational music sensation.

“He’s the rock star,” said a source of the DJ and music producer, who has worked with the likes of Rihanna, Usher, Madonna and The Black Eyed Peas, “but she’s the business mogul.”

A rep for David had no comment and Cathy couldn’t be reached by press time.
