Die Antwoord Rages At ‘Suicide Squad’ Director For Stealing Their Style [Video]

Yolandi and Ninja are angry, and the target of their rage is director David Ayer. A little side-by-side video and you kinda think they have a point.

Ninja and Yolandi Visser never miss the chance to grab some free press when given half the chance, and now they’ve turned their attention towards Suicide Squad director David Ayer.

Yolandi went to town on Ayer in an Instagram post yesterday, which has gained attention right around the world.

Give the post a little time to load below, and see for yourself if she has a point:

And what she had to say below the video – please excuse the grammar:

yes David Ayer u jockin our style. callin ninja up before your movie came our pretendin 2b down, so it looks OK when u bite our black & white graf style & our opening sequence to umshiniwam & an all da lil tiny details u nibbeld dat other people wont see but we notice. Cara & Jared told us how much u were talkin abt us on set but u never asked our permision to rip us off. An when ninja texted u sayin wassup wif dat u said nothin like a scared lil bitch.

U were jus flauntin our names pretendin to b down. u aint down an u never will b. but before we knew da extent of ur two face nature – u invited us to ur movie premiere(which i didnt wanna go to) but ninja went , tinkin ur solid guy an mayb there was jus a lil “misunderstandin”. Den poor ninja had to sit thru dat hole bullshit movie. An u even got da nerve to say wassup to him smilin – an ninja has to b nice cus he is there wif his kid.

But we all tink u wack. U shud start a crew called:,”im a fake fuck” ask kanye if he wants to join u. Cum show ur pretty face at my studios. U know Muggs & u know where da Soul Assasin Studios at. we watin for u.

It’s tough to look at that video without seeing a number of striking similarities, so maybe they do have a point. Then again, Die Antwoord have certainly ‘borrowed’ much of their creative aesthetic without due credit- just ask Tseliso Monaheng (HERE).
