Yolandi Visser, the diminutive yet outspoken blonde half of South African duo Die Antwoord, has fired shots at anti-hero blockbuster Suicide Squad‘s director, David Ayer, accusing him of stealing the band’s aesthetic for his film’s Joker (played by Jared Leto).
“Yes David Ayer you jockin our style,” the post began.
“callin ninja up before your movie came out pretendin 2b down, so it looks OK when u bite our black & white graf style & our opening sequence to umshiniwam & an all da lil tiny details u nibbeld dat other people wont see but we notice.”
Suicide Squad star Cara Delevingne, who plays The Enchantress in the film, also had a cameo appearance in Die Antwoord’s Ugly Boy video, and reportedly told the duo Ayer repeatedly mentioned them on set.
Even Kanye West got a mention in the rant, which may hark back to an earlier video posted by the duo outlining a studio invitation from West to Ninja, porn, and banana pudding.
“We all tink u wack,” Visser wrote.
“U shud start a crew called:,”im a fake fuck” ask kanye if he wants to join u.”
