“Ben beat up the guy from Hercules himself while filming this same video clip,” wrote Ninja.Ĭrossman is yet to respond to the claims. In a Facebook post, he said Crossman was the main instigator, saying the videographer “cleverly edited” the 11-minute footage to make it seem Ninja and Visser were being homophobic towards Butler. Ninja, real name Watkin Tudor-Jones, has protested the duo’s innocence. Since the video emerged, Die Antwoord have been removed from the bill of US festivals Louder Than Life in Kentucky and Life Is Beautiful in Las Vegas. The pair then seem to alert festival security staff and accuse Hercules And Love Affair mainman Butler of sexual harassment towards Visser, claiming he groped her in a backstage toilet.Īs Visser is seen crying, Ninja says her “performance” is “Oscar-winning”. The video, which can be seen below, appears to show Die Antwoord rappers Yolandi Visser and Ninja chase Butler while making homophobic slurs against him.

The incident took place at Australian festival Future Music in 2012, but has only recently gone viral after a video was placed online by former Die Antwoord videographer Ben Crossman. Die Antwoord have been removed from the bill of two festivals after video of an alleged homophobic attack against Andy Butler of Hercules And Love Affair went viral.
