- [Sixteen] When I meet new people, they always ask me,

"What are your parents like in real life?"

(dramatic music)

- I must be here, hey?

Off camera? - And also, don't you say

the line standing up, the first line,

"This is what happens to you when you don't listen."

- You see, I don't know, I can.

(video crackling)

- [Interviewer] Do you guys wanna start

by introducing yourselves?

- Okay, hi.

My government name is Waddy Jones,

but most people know me as Ninja.

- Hi, I'm Yolandi.

(ethereal music)

- [Ninja] We come from a little city

called Cape Town in South Africa.

It's very beautiful here.

Everything's surrounded by nature.

(ethereal music)

- [Interviewer] So how did you guys meet?

- We met outside a little club in Cape Town in 2001.

I was 19 years old at the time.

And Ninja was?

- I think I was 27.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

- And the first time I saw Yolandi,

how she looked in my eye,

I could see that she was from my tribe,

just how she looked at me.

- When I first met Ninja,

like, my first impression of him was that he was...

He had a big energy,

like his energy seemed different to other people,

like he just stood out.

I don't know if it's 'cause he's tall or what,

but he just seemed to have a big presence,

and he was very alive,

and he had this, like, spark in his eye, you know,

that other people didn't have.

He was so, like, intense.

So I remember noticing him,

like he had this, like, really extreme energy

and I was like, "Wow, okay, this guy is like..."

Something is like extra about him, you know?

Other people were just like kind of whatever,

Ninja's like (imitating buzzing).

Like, I just remember meeting this, like, force.

- [Interviewer] Ninja, were you already making music

before this?

- Yeah, I've been rapping for like mad long,

but none of the music I'd ever made was ever successful.

♪ Coming straight outta Randburg, uh ♪

♪ Crazy motherfucker named Van der Merwe ♪

♪ Used to eat the hamburger ♪

♪ Now I'm a very thin vegetarian ♪

♪ Plus I got some hairy skin ♪

♪ Check out my chest ♪

Up until I met this one, then everything flipped.

- [Interviewer] Yolandi, were you also making music

back then?

- Yeah, I was making music,

but for me, music was just a hobby.

Like I just used to mess around

and make stupid songs with my friends.

♪ When your mom is sleeping ♪

♪ Little mouse through the house ♪

♪ Take you bike and go the the arcade ♪

♪ Ooh ♪

♪ And you mind will find it's neon lights ♪

♪ Try and die ♪

♪ Try your luck ♪

(game whirring) (playful music)

- When I first heard the music, Yolandi was making,

I was just like, "Oh, my God, your voice."

Like, she had the sickest voice I'd ever heard in my life

and I asked her,

"Do you think you could make some tracks with me?"

And she said, "Yeah, sure."

So we went into the studio together

and I just asked her to say this one line

on this track I was making

and all she had to say was... (upbeat music)

♪ Yeah, motherfucker ♪

(electrifying music)

- [Announcer] Are you ready for this?

♪ Yeah, motherfucker ♪

(record whirring)

- And as she kicked this one line,

I was just, like, struck by the line here.

I was like, "Oh, my God,

you've got the coolest, like, rap voice

I've ever heard in my life,

like, we have to make more music together."

- Yeah, and from then on

we pretty much hung out together every day.

(ethereal music)

We would just smoke weed

and make weird little songs and movies together.

It was a really dreamy time.

(hypnotic music)

We didn't have any money, but we didn't care.

That wasn't important to us.

We were just happy making music and art.

(hypnotic music)

But then, you know, one thing led to another,

and I got pregnant.

- [Nurse] I'm sure it'll be ready by then, hey?

(Ninja speaking Afrikaans)

(hospital staff speaking indistinctly)

- [Hospital Staff] You ready now.

- [Hospital Staff] I'll get ready for it.

(machine beeping)

(Ninja speaking Afrikaans)

(hospital staff speaking indistinctly)

- [Ninja] You don't mind me?

(machine beeping)

- [Nurse] I feel nervous with this video.

- Oh, sorry. - You're taking that,

I'm teething. - Sorry.

- [Nurse] It's so peaceful in here.

I usually make theaters into a mad zone.

- No. - I'm on my best behavior.

- [Nurse] Yes, I can see that.

I trained you for (indistinct).

- [Nurse] So now we know when to wake up.

- [Nurse] Yeah, she keeps a bit this time around.

- [Nurse] And do you think he never thanked me yesterday.

- [Nurse] No, no, today.

- Today. (Ninja speaking Afrikaans)

(hospital staff chattering indistinctly)

- [Ninja] Hm?

(hospital staff chattering indistinctly)

(Yolandi whispering in Afrikaans)

(machine beeping)

(Ninja speaking in Afrikaans)

- [Nurse] Well done.

(indistinct) There we go, there we go.

That's a tight foot, nearly there.

Well done, well done.

(intense music)

(intense music continues)

(Sixteen crying)

(indistinct) There we go.

(people chattering indistinctly)

(Ninja laughing)

(people chattering indistinctly)

(ethereal music)

(indistinct) You both have to look this way quickly.

There we go.

(enchanting music)

(enchanting music continues)

(hypnotic music)

(hypnotic music continues)

- We named our baby daughter Sixteen Jones

because 16's my lucky number.

The three of us lived in a little one-room apartment

for five years.

It was a really magical time, but it was also difficult

because we were broke most of the time.

- When I was born, we lived in a one-bedroom apartment

in Garden Centre on the 17th floor.

And for me those memories are just purely magical.

- (indistinct) Look at me.

Look at me.

- And I was never aware that we were so broke.

I always had food on the table and I was always cozy

and had my movies and my toys.

They would hand-make and sew their own toys

like those ones, that's what they made.

Uh-hmm.

And it was just a really lovely time.

- [Interviewer] What were you guys doing

for a living at this point?

- Well, just trying to make it as artists.

We just do any kind of odd job to get by,

but our main focus was like making music.

But I just remember back then feeling so stressed out

because we were broke

and it just felt like nothing was ever gonna happen.

But I remember Ninja was always optimistic,

like he was always convinced

that the music we were making was gonna blow up.

Plus he was a really cool dad.

(Yolandi laughing)

- Back then I was always telling Yolandi, "Don't worry,

everything's gonna be cool.

We're gonna blow up soon and get money from our music."

But, (sighs)

secretly in the back of my head

I felt like a bit of a fuck up,

like I was a broke white rapper from South Africa

with zero game and I had no idea

how I was gonna provide for my family.

All my life I've just been obsessed with making rap music,

but rap wasn't paying the bills.

And I got to a point where I thought,

"Maybe I should just give up rap."

Then, one day this random thing happened

that pretty much changed my whole life.

Me and Yolandi were driving down the road behind a bakkie

and there was this guy sitting in the back of the bakkie

and this guy had spiky bleached, blonde hair

with mad gel in it, with the sides shaved off

and a mullet and Yolandi said, "Fuck, that guy is zef."

And I said, "What does zef mean?"

And she said, "It's just a style,

like, it's like white ghetto style.

Like that guy, he's fucking zef."

And I got super fucking jealous

'cause I could tell she thought this guy was cute.

- Yeah, and we had this big fight

about this random zef guy.

Ninja was so jealous, he almost lost his mind.

- I wanted Yolandi to think I'm the coolest person

in the world, and it was obvious

that she thought this zef guy was cooler than me.

So to try and impress Yolandi, (bird squawking)

I became zef.

I cut my hair in a zef style.

I got gold in my teeth.

I got all these kak zef tattoos and it was like,

(dramatic music)

like this whole other person came alive inside of me.

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music continues)

Who are you?

I'm you.

(dramatic music)

You're me,

but who am I then?

(dramatic music)

You are Ninja.

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music continues)

Then I said to Yolandi,

"Why don't we start a zef rap group?"

- And I was like, "Fuck, yes."

- So I cut Yolanda's hair

into the zeffest motherfucking hairstyle of all time

and me, Yolandi, and our homie DJ Hi-Tek

started this little zef rap group called Die Antwoord.

We took three years to record Die Antwoord's first album

in a little bedroom studio.

(upbeat music)

I was so into the shit

that I even got the name of the album

tattooed across my back.

(upbeat music)

We called that album "SOS"

because if we didn't make it with this album,

we were fucked.

(upbeat music)

(upbeat music continues)

We worked harder than we'd ever worked in our lives

to get two high end music videos made for free.

- [Interviewer] Answer to what?

- Whatever, man.

Fuck.

(upbeat music)

- For our next video, we went fucking all.

We painted all our sets and all our clothes in zef graffiti.

Then we shot a little video called "Enter the Ninja."

(electrifying music)

♪ My life is like a video game ♪

♪ I maintain when I'm in the zone ♪

- I remember on the day we shot this video,

I was super on edge.

I hadn't slept the night before

'cause I stayed up the whole night painting the sets

and we had no fucking money

and we had no idea if anyone had even heard our music.

We had released our album for free on our website,

but back then we didn't know how to check

if anyone had downloaded our album or not.

So, while we were shooting this video,

I was in a really desperate head space

and to be honest, I wasn't sure if this video

was like the coolest thing I'd ever done in my life

or if it was just like a total fucking flop.

- It took, like, super long.

It sounds, like, oh, it's so easy

but it took, like, super long.

It took a year to make these two videos

and then when we finally put the videos on the net,

I think it was January 2010, no one watched them.

(dramatic music)

And we were just like, "Oh, fuck."

- I started getting really depressed.

I just felt like no one in South Africa gets us.

And I was just like, "What are we gonna do?"

(grim music)

I sometimes remember

walking through the streets of Cape Town,

just praying to myself, like, "Help me, help me.

What am I gonna do?"

- And then, I swear to God, in our most desperate hour,

my cell phone rings and it's my homie, Gertjie,

who says he wants to book Die Antwoord

to play at his club in Johannesburg.

- Yeah, and we didn't even know

if anyone was gonna come to the show,

but when we got there the club was packed

from the front to the back

and we were just like, "What the fuck?"

- I was so shocked that I kept forgetting my lyrics,

but it didn't matter

'cause every single person in the audience

knew all the words to all our songs

and they were rapping the lyrics at me.

(dramatic music)

What the fuck?

And then we got back home after the show

and like, Yolandi- - Yeah, and that same night

we go online- - Yolandi went online,

and it was just like,

"What's happening?" - We're just checking

the hits on our videos on zef site

and "Enter the Ninja." - It had like 200 hits

before we left.

- And when when we checked after the show,

it was like 50,000 hits. - Like 50,000 hits

and we're like, "Uh." - Next thing it was like 80,000

and 100,000- - And a 100,000

- And we're just going up- - And we're like,

309,000. - And up and up and up.

- I was like, "Uh," I just, like, laid down on the floor

and I just stared at the ceiling,

I was like, "What's going on?"

- We literally just like sat there

and watched our videos go viral.

- But like worldwide viral.

It was- - Like on another level.

- [Ninja] It was a total mind fuck.

(explosion booming)

(static crackling)

- I first heard about Die Antwoord,

my wife heard it first and she played me the video.

She said, "You gotta watch this video on YouTube."

And I watched it and my jaw fell open

and we both became obsessed with Ninja and Yolandi.

- Literally overnight, we were (imitating explosion)

world-famous.

(electrifying music)

(electrifying music continues)

- [Yolandi] It felt like we were on acid.

(electrifying music)

- Ninja and Yolandi of Die Antwoord.

- Sitting here with Die Antwoord.

Did I say that correctly?

- Die Antwoord.

- Bradley, you're the first person

in the whole of the USA to say it so nice.

- Hi, my name's Yolandi Visser.

- [Fan] Sign here, Ninja.

- How are ya?

- [Fan] We saw Yolandi (indistinct).

- [Fan] Hey, I saw you roll an onion into a blunt once.

- [Ninja] Yeah, yeah.

- [Fan] Is there anything else you can use around the house

to roll the blunt in?

(upbeat music)

- [Fan] Is there any-(people chattering indistinctly)

- Well, we don't know what the fuck's going on.

We're just going with it.

(static crackling)

A lot of are people doing this.

- I think I was doing that.

- And then at the end they were like...

They were the feeling that ave (beep).

- Every major label on the planet wanted to sign us.

In the end we sold our "SOS" album

to Interscope Records in Los Angeles for a million dollars.

- [Interviewer] There's a little controversial thing

I wanted to bring up.

- Hm? - People say that you guys are homophobic,

but isn't DJ Hi-Tek gay?

- Yeah, I was a bit confused about that one

because our DJ is definitely a raging homosexual

beast of a man.

- Raging homosexual.

- [DJ Hi-Tek] How that I found out I was gay?

I kind of knew since I was five or six years old.

I went to an all-boys school

and there was a soccer game

that we had between the boys and the staff.

I must have been like seven.

And I was the goalkeeper

and there was this geography teacher

who was super fucking hot.

Like, I didn't know he was hot 'cause I was seven.

He was like big and I like big guys,

like hairy, like muscular kind of guys.

He went to go score a goal

and I was goalkeeper and he missed,

'cause I saved the goal and he kinda like ran

and he like picked me up in this bear hug

and he like picked me right up.

And I was like this fucking tall.

He picked me up and put me back on the ground

and then my head just exploded.

I was like, "What the fuck just happened?"

(laughs) Then I kinda knew I was gay.

(DJ Hi-Tek laughing)

That never happened with a girl before.

(static crackling)

- [Interviewer] So, Hi-Tek, why do you wear a mask

when you perform live?

- (laughs) Because the idea of being famous to me

is like literally the worst fucking thing in the whole world

that I could imagine.

I can't imagine anything worse for someone as an individual.

- So, because Hi-Tek was so shy,

we asked some of our friends

to star as Hi-Tek in our photos and in our videos.

- DJ, DJ, DJ, DJ, DJ, DJ, DJ Hi-Tek.

- Well, DJ Hi-Tek makes... Like, he owns a PC computer.

(electrifying music)

- [Interviewer] What was it like making music

with Ninja and Yolandi?

- It was spiritual.

I mean, it was religious.

It was like touching the face of God.

But like any religious experience, I mean, it's a spectrum.

It's the highest highs mix with the lowest lows.

It was intense, it was crazy.

I mean, there were times

when we wanted to fucking kill each other.

There were times that I don't think

Ninja's not even gonna make it.

I mean, they would fight in the studio

and then go walk outside of the house in Rondebosch

for like three hours and then come back

and get right back into it.

I mean, it was this fucking incredible music-making process.

And then when we started performing live,

it was kind of difficult because I had to do the live show

because I made up the music

and I was nervous as fuck life.

Like, I was nervous as shit.

Like, I didn't like the idea of performing.

Ninja and Yolandi are born performers,

I mean, they get hyped,

they get excited to go on stage.

As soon as they step on stage,

it's like (clicks fingers) bam, their shit's on.

I was the opposite.

I was, like, scared

and I was, like, checking all my equipment

and like, "Oh, my God, I hope I don't fuck up,"

and like, "Is this plugged in right?"

And like, and I'd go on stage

and I'd be like, you know, like looking down

and I'm behind them.

I mean, that was 'cause it wasn't my wall,

it wasn't my thing.

And the mask flipped that,

'cause the mask allowed me to go on stage

and to a degree to say to myself,

"I don't give a fuck here."

Like, it's not me.

It was this weird, like, self-relocation.

It was like, "This is not me",

this is this fucking DJ Hi-Tek motherfucker

and he slays shit.

Like, he's a beast.

- [Interviewer] Why do you love Die Antwoord so much?

(Mike speaking in foreign language)

(Mike speaking in foreign language)

(electrifying music)

(electrifying music)

(electrifying music)

- We got so much love from all these people

around the world.

But then, back home, the South African media hated us.

(Die Antwoord singing in Afrikaans)

- I can tell you a story that might explain

how it works here in South Africa

to understand why the press

were difficult with Die Antwoord.

There's two fishermen, there's Hannes and Jan,

and they go fishing together,

they're fishing for crayfish, you see?

And they have a wonderful day catching those crayfish,

you know, they get them, they take them out of the sea

and they're popping them in the bucket like this

and they're just filling that bucket, man,

with the crayfish.

And it comes time, sun's going down,

they're getting ready to go home

and Hannes looks over to Jan

and he says, "Jan, you know",

we have to be careful here, man.

One of these crayfish is climbing out of the bucket.

We've got so many, we've gotta put a lid.

Do you have a lid or something?

Look, he's gonna climb right out.

"We've got to..."

And Jan looks at Hannes

and he says, "My friend, don't worry,

this is all South African crayfish.

If one gets out of the bucket,

just before he does, the others will pull him back down."

- [Interviewer] Why do you think Die Antwoord

gets so much hate from people?

- Yeah, I think, it would most probably

be stemming from people who don't understand them.

Jesus was crucified for being a good person, you know,

just for example.

Do you know that if me and you are friends

and we grew up together

and I so happen to...

Okay, we play soccer

and I so happen to be better than you in soccer,

it's common for you to hate me

for me being better than you.

Because when you look at me,

you are, like, looking yourself.

It's like you're looking at the mirror

of where you are supposed to have been

had it not been for the fact

that maybe you were sleeping on yourself

or you didn't take your art serious, you know?

So it's common, you know?

And hate is something you can't run away from.

You don't have to play a rough game

in order for someone to play a rough game to you.

Wherever there is love, there is hate.

- I was never really stressed out about all the stupid stuff

the South African media said about us.

But right after we blew up,

there was one thing that people were saying

that did bother me a lot.

They said Die Antwoord was just a one-hit wonder

who just got lucky

and that we were gonna disappear as quick as we popped up.

And to be honest, this thought terrified me.

My biggest fear back then was, can we do it again?

So straight off the tour, we went back home to South Africa,

shut off from everything and everyone,

locked ourselves into a studio with Hi-Tek,

and started working flat out on our second album

that we decided to call "Tension."

- [Interviewer] Why "Tension"?

(electrifying music)

- [Ninja] Well, when we went overseas,

people kept asking me,

"Why is the music you make so aggressive?"

And I said, "It's because we come from

an aggressive country."

- South Africa is a crazy place.

It's so beautiful and it's so dangerous.

- [Ninja] South Africa has the highest crime rate

in the world because our country is so imbalanced.

The super rich live right next door to the super poor,

which creates this constant tension.

When people can't get the basic things

they need to survive in life, they're gonna take them.

It's just human nature.

(gang members speaking in foreign language)

The music and art we make

is a reflection of the tension we feel

in the world around us.

Our music is real

and in our music videos we show real shit.

This obviously freaks some people out

and fascinates other people.

- We dedicated our first single

off our "Tension" album to all our haters.

The single was called, "Fok Julle Naaiers,"

which means fuck you, motherfuckers.

- South African people are not like this.

We are decent human beings.

We are respectable citizens.

These people are out of control.

They're making South Africans look like a bunch of freaks.

(electrifying music)

(Sixteen shouting in Afrikaans)

(Sixteen blowing raspberries)

(Sixteen singing in Afrikaans)

- Hi, Dad. Hi, Dad.

Hi, Dad.

Love you.

(Sixteen blowing raspberries)

- [Interviewer] You said you were five

when they first blew up.

Do you remember watching their videos for the first time?

Do you remember that moment?

- Yeah, I remember watching their videos

with my own eyes whilst being shot in

and also being in their music videos.

- [Interviewer] What were you thinking

when you were watching?

- I always thought my parents were like these superheroes

and just doing such cool stuff.

And especially when you're a kid, it like hypes you up

when they're dancing and they're rapping.

It's just the best.

And I loved when they would ask

if I would be in a music video and they...

Like, my first one was, "I Think U Freeky,"

and they turned me into a fairy.

- [Producer] Yeah, just so, hold, hold on, and say...

♪ I fink you freaky and I like you a lot ♪

Say it.

♪ I fink you freaky and I like you a lot ♪

- [Producer] Okay, that's amazing,

and play it back, here we go.

Okay, look at the camera, big eyes, lift up your chin.

♪ I fink you freaky and I like you a lot ♪

♪ I fink you freaky and I like you a lot ♪

♪ I fink you freaky and I like you a lot ♪

♪ I fink you freaky and I like you a lot ♪

- And I had to hold like a prosthetic heart

and it was beating and they put, like, cherry blood on it

and I remember that freaking me out.

But then I licked it and it tasted sweet.

- [Interviewer] So you guys have created

some pretty freaky visuals.

Who would you say is your biggest influence visually?

- Roger Ballen. - Roger Ballen.

- Yeah, 100%.

(dramatic music)

He's a photographer who's been taking photographs

in South Africa for the last 40 years or so.

(camera clicking)

- [Yolandi] Roger Ballen is one of my heroes.

His photographs are so strong,

it feels like they punch you in the face.

Mr. Ballen takes pictures of outsiders and misfits,

people that society have rejected.

That's why we relate to Mr. Ballen's art

in such a deep and emotional level.

- Everybody feels alone in a way.

Everybody feels outside of things in a way

and they're scared to admit it.

And so all of a sudden this band comes along,

or a photographer like me comes along

and you sort of smash those barriers a bit

and then they become anxious

or aware or excited or something

and then they don't forget it.

In a way, you're able to smash those mental barriers

and liberate something for people in some way

and that's why...

I mean, that's why you became what you became.

You weren't singing lullabies,

you were smashing their defense systems.

You were entering their minds in some way or another

and liberating them, scaring them, making them anxious

and then they couldn't get rid of you.

- Yeah, that's right.

- They couldn't get rid of you.

(solemn music)

My most painful thought

is probably the same that everybody has.

The painful thought is what happens when I die?

Where do I go?

How do I die?

Where do I die?

What happens?

Do I turn into a spirit?

(solemn music)

Do I turn into earth?

What happens?

So I guess the painful thought is,

is that I can't come up with an answer.

You know, as much as I try, there's no answer.

So I guess this is a deep, deep down pain,

something I'll never be able to put my finger on,

something I'll never be able to come to terms with

in some way or another.

(gunshot booms)

(no audio)

- In 2012, we made a music video with Mr. Ballen

called "I Fink U Freeky," which, in my opinion,

is the best music video we've ever made in our lives.

It's the perfect video.

- [Ninja] Just open quickly.

- [DJ Hi-Tek] What do you mean?

- Because they said, Harvey said my back was fucked, dude.

But he said flex my abs the whole time.

- Flex. - Check, I'm flexing the whole fucking time.

I mean, really flex. - I'm fucking flexing.

Fuck you. - Flex, man.

- [DJ Hi-Tek] Flex, man, I mean, really flex.

(all laughing)

I have to lie down the floor so I can unflex.

- [Interviewer] Would you ever listen

to Die Antwoord's music?

I can't listen to that shit.

It is come from hell.

- [Ninja] People make up the craziest stories about us.

I guess it's just part of being a celebrity.

People love talking shit about celebrities.

It's the best way to get mad hits.

(gunshots booming)

When did this random thing happened?

I was hanging out with Kanye West in his studio

and he was watching "Star Wars" on this big ass TV.

And as I started talking about an idea for a song I had,

he switched on anal sex porno.

(bed thudding) (woman shrieking and laughing)

And I'm about to talk about the music

and he switches on this bum sex video.

I'm like, "(indistinct)."

And then he said, "Sorry, what were you saying?"

He called Travis Scott to come,

and say, like, "Ninja's here."

Just before Travis came, Kanye turned to me

and said, "Do you like banana pudding?"

And I was just like, "Whoa."

I don't know if pudding is dessert,

if it means the same thing.

I was like, and I was thinking, "Why the fuck,

what happened there?"

Travis came in and he's like, wilding out,

"Yo, Ninja, what the fuck's up?"

Then Kanye said to Travis, "So, do you like banana pudding?"

And Travis was like, "Yeah."

And he's like, "Wifey made some banana pudding."

Kanye got out this banana pudding that Kim Kardashian made.

It was fucking delicious actually.

It had like caramel and banana.

(utensils clanging)

And then I finished the banana pudding.

I didn't know what to say or what to do.

So I like, I washed everyone's dishes

and put them on their side and then I just went home.

(static crackling)

- Yo, Ninja, what's up, man?

It's Ghostface, man.

We just shouting you out.

We just checking out your videos and all that.

You know what I mean?

You got some shit up in there.

You know what I mean?

So I just wanted to holler at you.

My boy told me he was, you know, y'all was connected.

Aight, hold it down, one.

(dog barking)

- [Interviewer] You've got a crazy amount of hits

on all your videos.

Why do you think "Baby's on Fire" has the most hits?

- [Yolandi] (chuckles) Maybe it's just 'cause Kanye West

copied JP's hairstyle.

- Sixteen definitely didn't have a normal childhood.

I mean, her life has been like,

tour life.

- And I would go with them as much as I could.

- The hardest thing for me was being a parent

and a rap superstar at the same time.

Whenever we went on tour, we missed Sixteen so hectically,

so we brought on tour as much as we could.

She just got used to it, that was just normal for her.

(Sixteen screaming)

- [Interviewer] Do you even remember all the countries

you've toured in?

- Yeah.

I can even name them all in one breath.

Do you wanna hear?

- Zef is like a South African slang term

and it's been around, like, forever.

We were just, like, the first people to rap about it

and it just, for us it's like the ultimate style.

- [Interviewer] So, as an Afrikaans person,

can you please explain to us

what zef means in your own words?

- What does zef mean to me?

Zef is being the outsider,

being the misfit and doing it with flavor.

But you can't be bougie in zef 'cause it doesn't work.

It's like you have a certain grittiness to you

and to me that's...

It's a vibe and you know it when you see it.

Sometimes you have it, some people don't.

It's like, I got it.

But like, not everybody has it.

- Originality as an African artist

is very crucial and important.

This is something I know I've learned

from just watching Die Antwoord

before even getting to meet and work with them.

- [Interviewer] Why do you think Die Antwoord

blew up so fucking hard?

- Because it's fucking good.

It's fucking good.

It's fucking original.

You can't ignore it.

I mean, we live in a world where like there's so much data,

there's so much information

that's total information overload.

Anything you do has to cut through that, firstly.

It's gotta get people's attention.

It can be amazing and boring and no one's gonna look at it

'cause they don't dedicate more than five seconds

to something.

So Die Antwoord got people in those first five seconds

that you couldn't like swipe or scroll.

You were like, "Huh, what?

What is this?

I haven't seen this before, this is weird."

So that was the first thing, there was a hook.

It like got people hooked and then once it got hooked,

it's like, "Okay, you've got my attention but what is this?

Is it any good?"

Like, has it got any fucking like...

Has it got a thing, you know

or is it just this empty veneer shell, nothing,

look for five seconds, ha ha, scroll onto the next one.

You can't do it with Die Antwoord.

You get hooked, you look for five seconds,

you start looking, the deeper you go,

the more insane it is, the better it gets.

(grim music)

(mouse squeaking)

- Fuck!

Motherfucker!

That stupid fuck!

- They were geniuses in videos.

I mean, their videos went into another realm

that nobody ever experienced before.

- That's why it fucking blew up.

'cause it was catchy as fuck and it was deep,

seriously fucking deep.

(bright music)

- [Yolandi] In 2013 we all moved to Hollywood

and just balled the fuck out.

- Yolandi is an enigma.

We've hung out with her a few times.

I would like to call her a friend,

but there's so much we still don't really know

about Yolandi.

She's a mystery.

In real life, Ninja is a creative force.

He's got one of those minds that just doesn't stop.

He's got itchy fingers

and you get the feeling like if he stops, he'll die.

So he never stops.

(machines whirring)

- From the outside,

it seemed like we were living our best lives.

But what no one knew about is that behind the scenes

something not so cool was happening.

Me and Ninja started to fight a lot over jealousy.

I had seen Ninja flirting with girls after the show

and I get super jealous.

And if I thought someone was cute,

Ninja would lose his fucking mind.

- Yeah, we started fighting, like, so much

that it felt like the band was gonna break up.

(poignant music)

- [Yolandi] It was a really strange time for us.

We didn't really know what to do.

We'd worked so hard to get this far,

we couldn't just let it all fall apart.

So me and Ninja decided to break up

but to stay friends and keep the band together.

(poignant music)

(poignant music continues)

(magical music)

(grim music)

At first it was a relief

because we weren't fighting anymore.

But then,

it just felt fucking weird because I got a boyfriend

and Ninja had other girlfriends.

(pensive music)

- I told Yolandi,

"I'm totally cool that you have a boyfriend."

But secretly,

it totally freaked me out.

- [Yolandi] When I saw Ninja with other girls,

I pretended to be cool with it, (pensive music)

but it made me really sad.

We were supposed to be living the dream,

but every time I went sleep I'd have nightmares.

- [Interviewer] Do you have any regrets?

- Yeah, just one.

I regret breaking up with Yolandi.

It's pretty much the stupidest fucking thing

I've ever done since I was born.

(wistful music)

And we all think the grass is greener on the other side.

And at first it was super fun being single,

but whenever I was alone

I was always just really, really sad.

Like, sadder than I'd ever been in my life

and from time to time

I'd ask Yolandi if we can please get back together.

But it wasn't that simple

because Yolandi was really hurt

about us breaking up

and now I was hurting

and broken hearts are not that easy to fix.

(wistful music)

And it just felt like after we broke up,

everything just started falling apart.

(eerie music)

- Love knows not its own depth until the hour of separation.

(eerie music)

- [Interviewer] On the subject of things falling apart,

Tokkie, what happened there?

- Well... So Tokkie is a kid from the hood that we met

when we were making the "I Fink U Freeky" music video.

And when I first met Tokkie, I was like, "Wow."

You know, he's such a unique human being.

I've never met anyone like him

and I just had this real heart connection with him.

And over time we got to know him better

'cause we'd always go to the hood and visit friends.

So I got to know Tokkie and his family better

and he was living in really harsh conditions.

His mom was struggling to provide for him.

So at some point his mom asked if we could help out

and we were like, "Yeah, of course."

So we started to help out and take him under our wing a bit.

We paid for him to go to a decent school.

We taught him how to read and write,

we paid for his food and clothes.

We took him on tour with us, like, all over the world,

and bought him PlayStation.

Like, we spoiled Tokkie

'cause obviously we felt sorry for him, you know?

And we just thought that he just needed a chance

and then he's gonna blossom.

But the thing is he's always been quite naughty.

Like, coming from such a rough hood,

like he's always been a bit of a wild child.

So as he got older,

his naughtiness just hit another level.

Like, we couldn't control him, we didn't know what to do,

he wouldn't listen to us.

He started taking hardcore drugs.

He started lying to us, started stealing from us.

And me and Ninja were just like, "What do we do?"

Like, every time we try discipline him,

he's just like, "Fuck you, you're not my real parents,"

runs back to the hood.

(sighs) So after he turned 18,

at a certain point we just put our foot down with him.

We were like, "This is it, you know,

we're not giving you any more money

if you're just gonna fuck around and take drugs.

Like, you know, tough love."

And, not long after this, Tokkie goes onto YouTube

and he just tells all our fans

that we just abandoned him in poverty

and basically just said, you know

that we just left him there

and he's asking them for donation money,

which he's using to buy drugs.

- We just want Tokkie to get some professional help

'cause he needs it.

And... - Yeah.

- You can't really help someone

who doesn't want to be helped.

And we've tried our best and it didn't work.

So, you know, maybe there is, you know,

still hope for Tokkie if he fucking comes to senses.

We've always told them like, "Our door's open",

you can come back anytime,

just stop taking drugs, tell the truth about everything

"that's happened with you and us," and...

- Just fix everything.

- Yeah, come back, we're here.

- But I mean, I understand like it's always tricky

with adopted kids or foster kids

or being the misfit and the outsider,

and that's what Tokkie's felt like his whole life, you know,

just doesn't fit in, and we embrace that

and not everybody does.

So life hasn't always been easy for him,

but at some point you have to just take responsibility

for things you've done

and you have to stand for those things

and it's up to him to make it better.

And I really hope that he will.

(dramatic music)

(dramatic music continues)

Once upon a time I had everything in the world.

I was rich and famous and everyone was nice to me.

It felt like my life was a movie.

I was the lead star and everything was amazing.

Ninja's always been my rock.

(poignant music)

But back when we were broken up,

I was at the lowest point in my life

and I couldn't talk to him about my feelings

because (sighs)

(poignant music)

he felt like a stranger to me.

(poignant music)

(poignant music continues)

- I am a strong person,

I can handle most things life throws at me.

But the one thing I couldn't handle

was my parents being broken up.

(poignant music)

When my parents found out

that I told my friend I was gonna kill myself,

they completely freaked out.

And then I knew that they would say yes to whatever I asked.

Then I asked my parents

if we could all move back in together.

And once I had them living under the same roof,

the rest was a piece of cake.

- Sixteen was basically like a little cupid.

Like, we all moved back in together

and me and Ninja would go out for meetings during the day.

When we came home,

she'd made us these like romantic candlelit dinners

with champagne on ice.

Yeah

I mean, we're spending all this intimate time together,

just me and Ninja.

And eventually obviously we ended up getting back together

thanks to Sixteen Jones.

- It was all part of my evil plan.

(whimsical music)

- [Interviewer] Now that you guys are back together,

do you prefer living in LA or South Africa?

- [Ninja and Yolandi] South Africa.

- [Interviewer] Why do you like living in South Africa?

- Mm, 'cause Africa is so hot right now.

(ethereal music)

- Love is strange.

If you truly love someone,

at some point in your relationship,

the love you share with that person is gonna get tested.

(ethereal music)

then you know it's forever.

(ethereal music)

(ethereal music continues)

(ethereal music continues)

- [Interviewer] Sheez, thanks, guys.

It's been a really epic journey.

One last thing I want to ask,

what's next for Die Antwoord?

What are you guys gonna do now?
