Claiming that Butler followed Yolandi into the girls bathroom and wouldn’t let her out. Ninja continued to recount the incident that took place at Future. He claims that Die Antwoord “fired him years ago for being mentally unstable, and malicious towards our family”. Ninja then accuses Crossman of being “on a rampage” smear campaign to tarnish the band’s image. But if a person (no matter what their sexual preference it) keeps harassing us over and over, then physically harasses ¥o-landi, there will obviously be repercussion.” Our DJ and best friend DJ HITEK is gay, and a lot of people in our crew are gay. We don’t 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.
The band claims that the video was “cleverly edited” and that cinematographer Ben Crossman had “beat up the guy ”. Now, Die Antwoord has offered their take on the situation. Louder Than Life announced that the band would no longer be performing in a Facebook post last week, citing “unforeseen circumstances”. Amid the video coming to light, Die Antwoord were dropped from appearing at American festivals, Louder Than Life and Life Is Beautiful.
