Marilyn Manson welcomed his friend and musical collaborator Johnny Depp on stage to help play ‘Beautiful People’…
The international community can not get enough of Die Antwoord! If you didn’t believe us before when they hit number one of Spotify’s chart, this should convince you.
Die Antwoord maintain their overseas popularity topping the most shared tracks list on Spotify. Really? This song went viral “around the globe?” There are some FREAKY people around the world…
Butterflies and puppies are the order of the day when it comes to these boundary-pushing musicians. Having previously covered the butterflies, they are all about the puppies in this one. Are they losing their touch?
Even a tight-lip confidentiality agreement couldn’t stop cast and crew from Neill Blomkamp’s new film, from telling City Press how much of an asshole Ninja from Die Antwoord was on set. Anonymous sources explain how Ninja made life on set hell, during the shoot of ‘Chappie’, filmed in Joburg.

Cape Town farmer, Andre Laubscher, is claiming that Die Antwoord ripped off their brand from other artists, by plying them with booze and drugs, stealing their ideas and underpaying them.
The world’s most famous residents of middle class Oranjezicht, Die Antwoord have released yet another music video to remind us that they’re still shocking. “Cookie Thumper” is the story of a possibly-underage orphan girl who has possibly-anal sex with an ex prison inmate and current drug dealer, Anies. And that’s basically it. Here’s the description […]
Die Antwoord’s Fatty Boom Boom has been one of the most talked-about music videos of the year so far. But it has been for mostly the wrong reasons. Their stab at Lady Gaga, followed by a Twitter fight, sadly overshadowed the fact that the video itself is a visual masterpiece.
The music video for Die Antwoord’s Fatty Boom Boom has been one of the most talked-about videos on the Internet over the past week. Not only has it been viewed nearly three million times on YouTube, but it also created further buzz following a brief Twitter altercation with Lady Gaga.
Yesterday we showed you the new Die Antwoord music video for Fatty Boom Boom. You know, the one where Lady Gaga gives birth to a prawn before being eaten by a lion in South Africa?
Remember that time Die Antwoord were asked by Lady Gaga to open for her and they said no? The music video for their single, Fatty Boom Boom, just dropped and it seems they want to make double sure she got the message.
Fatty Boom Boom is a track on the second Die Antwoord album, Ten$Ion. It is also the third song from the CD that has been made into a music video.
Die Antwoord is back with the second music video from TEN$ION. “Baby’s on Fire” sees Ninja and Yolandi Vi$$er playing brother and sister having lunch with their parents. It seems Yolandi has a new boyfriend, but her brother is not too happy about it. Check it out after the jump!
Take it with a pinch of salt, but over the weekend this pretty convincing Lollapalooza internal memo hit the internet. I mean blurry photographs of lineup lists aren’t set in stone, but it looks pretty legit – and includes headline acts by The Black Keys, Black Sabbath, and The Shins. Check out the full thing after the jump.
It seems not even the current Queen of Pop can entice South African zefsters Die Antwoord to drop their awesome ‘tude. Here’s their response to her invitation to open for her upcoming world tour, as relayed to MTV Canada! Obviously, the video is gloriously N5FW:
In case you missed Thekiso Anthony Lefifi’s colourful Sunday Times’ interview with Ninja and Yolandi Vi$$er from Die Antwoord, we’ve got it for you right here. How responsible are you with money? Ninja: I never used to care about money because I never had it. Now I have money and I still don’t care about […]
Ninja says Americans have taken to the South African zef rappers like ducks to water. He has also said “God made a mistake with me,” and that he is “actually black, trapped in a white body.” Ninja understands that culture traverses colour, and many other things.
Hoo-ha. That teaser trailer for the new Die Antwoord album, Ten$ion, got pulled from the internet (which means they’ve officially taken it down – obviously it’s still around) because artist Jane Alexander, whose anti-apartheid sculpture the trailer strongly references, told them to. They’re in legal discussions presently.
Well hey there, internet – look what you brought in. “Money and Da Power,” a track that Die Antwoord has performed a couple of times on live tour but didn’t include on TEN$ION has been leaked onto Soundcloud by some or other file-sharing hippie. It’s a neat song, though. They sample sound from The Godfather.
This week, our resident trans-sexual rock star and pop culture dominatrix, Mary Scary, contemplates Die Antwoord. You can catch more of her poignant opinions on The Rhys Woods Show with Stacey Howell, on Tuesdays from 5 – 7pm, only on 2oceansvibe Radio.
So! Die Antwoord’s new album, TEN$ION, is coming out tomorrow – the first release on their new, Interscope-free, indie label, ZEF Records. Which is cool. Even cooler is the fact that it’s available for free streaming on Dutch broadcasting channel 3VOOR12, in case you’re somebody who likes free stuff. Listen here.
Ninja and Yolandi Vi$$er performed on David Letterman’s show yesterday, and we managed to get the video for you. Click ‘Continue Reading’ to check it out and tell us what you think. Or rather, tell us what you think Americans will think?
There is simply no stopping Die Antwoord. After dropping a new video and introducing their daughter to the world, they can now also tick appearing on David Letterman AND modeling for Alexander Wang off their bucket list.
The delightful little girl with the snake around her neck in the latest music video by Die Antwoord is actually their real-life daughter. Her name is Sixteen (for real) and she also appears on the latest cover of Rolling Stone SA along with her parents. See this heartwarming family portrait, along with another one of them taken several years ago, after the jump.
With less than a week to go before their second album is unleashed upon the world, Die Antwoord has dropped the video for its lead single, I Fink U Freeky, on the interwebs. Directed by Ninja and SA cult photographer Roger Ballen, this video is their best (and most disturbing) work to date. Check it out after the jump!
