“I’m gonna stick with you, and I’m gonna climb with you. “You’re the most exciting person I’ve ever met,” she said. Our hero didn’t look cool, but she didn’t judge. Yolandi found him gushing, lost and hopeless because of some dumb magazine. Nothing ever made it out of South Africa, he knew, but he couldn’t even get out of his own hood, and here was Yolandi, his fierce and frail twin-spirit with the rough and wild hair, gawking over some other, cooler guy. He’d been rhyming for years, but nobody gave a shit to ask his name, let alone print it. Yolandi had a crush on battle rapper Sammy Sparks, and one day, as they were hanging around some shop sifting through magazines, Yolandi spotted Sparks’ face in the glossy pages. He didn’t even realize he liked her yet, but he did want to impress her, like all the time. They’d started to make music together, but it didn’t have that sauce. Their band Die Antwoord – the technicolored, twisted, rave-rap trio of dance and destruction – didn’t exist.
That’s where Ninja was 12 years ago, the masculine yang to partner Yolandi’s erratic yin. “I was right on edge so much, I just burst out crying.” In this one, we find our hero slumped against his car, crying like a “little bitch.” But if you fuck with us, we gonna pull up.Every manga has a hero, and every hero has a start. We dont look for trouble, and we believe in love, respect and equality. The festival asked us if we wanted to press charges against the guy and we said no, as the incident was now over.Īt the end of the day we are kind people with good hearts who make surreal art and hardcore rap music. In the heat of the moment I quickly told ¥o-landi to be as dramatic as possible about what happened so that we wouldn’t be detained for this guys bullshit story he was busy spinning to security. The guy then ran away screaming for security to arrest us. During this scuff Ben punched the guy from Hercules in the face.
This is why we all got up and ran after this guy (which Ben has not included in his edit).Īs I ran up to the guy from Hercules, he threw a drink at me and punched me so I hit him back, and he ran off.īen (our camera man) then chased the guy and got into a scuff with him.
She then ran to me and (our camera man) Ben and told us what just happened. We were on tour with all the bands from Big Day Out for 7 shows, and everywhere we went, this guy kept stalking us and passing fucked up comments at us over and over.Īt the end of the tour, during our final festival in Adelaide, the guy from Hercules followed ¥o-landi into the girls bathroom and wouldn’t let her out, and she had to physically push past him to get out of the bathroom. We asked around later if anyone knew who this person was, and we found out that he was a singer from some band called Hercules. “You need to get slapped through the face with my dick,”Īnd he walked off again, and sat down at a table nearby with a friend. “Oh you are always having private time, aren’t you”Ī minute later, the guy walked past us again and said to us : While Die Antwoord were on tour in Australia (8 years ago) during the Big Day Out festival, ¥o-landi and I were having breakfast at a hotel when some guy we did not know pulled up a chair at our table and said: Here is what happened during our Australian tour that lead up to the incident in Adelaide: Our DJ and best friend DJ HITEK is gay, and alot of people in our crew are gay.īut if a person (no matter what their sexual preference it) keeps harrassing us over and over, then physically harrasses ¥o-landi, there will obviously be repercussion.īen Crossman has been on a rampage to make us look bad in the media because we fired him years ago, for being mentally unstable, and malicious towards our family. We dont care about people’s sexual preference. This fight had nothing to with the fact that this guy was gay. This was just a fight with someone who fucked with us. However Ben beat up the guy from Hercules himself while filming this same video clip. In relation to the“hate crime” video in Adeliaide filmed by our ex-cameraman Ben Crossman:īen has cleverly edited this video clip to make it seem like me and ¥o-landi commited a hate crime towards a person because they are gay.
