Over the course of the past month or so, a series of damning accusations have been levelled against Die Antwoord. After refusing to comment, the group has now hit back.
Social workers visit Die Antwoord. SA exceeds daily 10k COVID-19 cases. New world’s most valuable company. Madonna selling nude NFTs.
Over the past few weeks, multiple have come forward with stories of the duo’s alleged abuse.
Last week, a video from the 2012 Future Music festival in Adelaide, Australia, started doing the rounds. Die Antwoord have now offered their own video response.
Die Antwoord has been dropped from two festival lineups, after footage emerged of Yolandi and Ninja’s attack on a fellow musician.
Australian rapper Zheani has accused Ninja of abuse and trafficking in a diss track, and that’s just the tip of the iceberg.
Die Antwoord being weird isn’t exactly news, but they’ve just released a teaser trailer for their latest project and it’s exactly what we’ve come to expect.
It was a rough weekend for fans of Die Antwoord (I would guess it usually is), with break-up rumours doing the rounds. Here’s Yolandi to clear that up.
Die Antwoord has nailed it again with another awesome music video. It literally makes me want to go and buy a gold suit and cover myself in oil.
Die Antwoord just dropped a new video. It is a remix of the MIMS track, “This is Why I’m Hot”. Within 24 hours, it has already clocked up more than 40 000 views on YouTube. The description under it reads: “a raw-ass lil home-made video we made on tour jus 4 fun.”
The Lollapalooza music festival took place in Chicago over the weekend. And like pretty much every other major music festival around the globe recently, Die Antwoord played there. During an interview with Entertainment Weekly they explained why they don’t prefer to do gigs in South Africa. As it turns out, Ninja & Yolandi does not seem to care much for South Africans in general. According to the notorious two, South Africa is “pretty fucking retarded” and the majority of its citizens are “insecure”. Also, performing to South Africans is “like doing magic tricks for retarded children.”
Die Antwoord is back with the second music video from TEN$ION. “Baby’s on Fire” sees Ninja and Yolandi Vi$$er playing brother and sister having lunch with their parents. It seems Yolandi has a new boyfriend, but her brother is not too happy about it. Check it out after the jump!
The delightful little girl with the snake around her neck in the latest music video by Die Antwoord is actually their real-life daughter. Her name is Sixteen (for real) and she also appears on the latest cover of Rolling Stone SA along with her parents. See this heartwarming family portrait, along with another one of them taken several years ago, after the jump.
With less than a week to go before their second album is unleashed upon the world, Die Antwoord has dropped the video for its lead single, I Fink U Freeky, on the interwebs. Directed by Ninja and SA cult photographer Roger Ballen, this video is their best (and most disturbing) work to date. Check it out after the jump!
Die Antwoord will drop their second album on 7 February. Called “TEN$ION”, the LP will be released on their own label, ZEF REKORDZ. The cover has been revealed and features an angel-winged, demonic-faced Yolandi Vi$$er eating what appears to be a human heart. See this graphic image after the jump.
