The video for Fatty Boom Boom shows 'Lady Gaga', played by a male actor, clad in her infamous meat dress touring through the urban jungle of Johannesburg with a local taxi driver. She spots Die Antwoord's Ninja and Yo-Landi Vi$$er get ready for a street performance, remarking that "they should open for me".
When her tourbus is hijacked, Gaga escapes and roams the streets, alone and afraid, until she comes across a seedy gynaecologist's office and gets a particularly invasive examination. Oh and she gets killed by a lion.
Lady Gaga took to her Twitter to express her dismay about the video:
Soon after, Die Antwoord hit back.
Gaga is rumoured to be a fan of Die Antwoord, but the group – made up of Yo-Landi Vi$$er and Ninja – turned the offer to open her concert down. This is what Ninja told MTV - "Weird shit's been happening, like fucking Lady Gaga asked us to tour with her and we're like, 'No, don't worry about it.' Our stuff is like fucking hardcore like solid heavyweight! We want it to be like a secret mind-fuck! People are like what the fuck is this the first time they hear it. We like making pop music, but we like making hardcore music at the same time, mixing them, but they've got, like, soul. It's not like weak, superficial shit. You know?"
Let the head butts begin.... I am standing on the ninja side... :)
