Well, this is upsetting. Drake and Die Antwoord are both currently playing Australia's Future Music Festival, which hits five cities on the continent between Feb. 28 and March 9.
But that's not the disturbing part. Following the March 1 show in Perth, Die Antwoord's Yolandi Visser called Drake a "massive f--got" over Instagram.
They're not homophobic, DJ Hi-Tek is gay soooooooo
So because a guy she's friends with is gay it gives her the right to use the words? Thats like saying "my friend is black so i have the right to say the N-word". Give me a break :toofunyy:
Die Antwoord has addressed this issue in the past. Their DJ, DJ Hi-Tek, is homosexual, and apparently, the group believes it is entitled to use the term more freely. In a 2011 Huffington Post interview, rapper Watkin Tudor Jones (aka Ninja) explained:
I'd like to set the record straight here once and for all. Number one: DJ Hi-Tek is gay. So there you go. Now you all know. Number two: Dj Hi-Tek says the word f--got doesn't hold any power over him. Hi-Tek says f--got all the time cause he's like, kind of taken that word and made it his bitch. Number three: Just to be ****ing clear, the Antwoord is not homophobic… Number four: It comes across to us that some people from America are heavy sensitive about the use of certain words. But the thing is, what you need to understand is, we're not from America. We're from South Africa. And South Africa people aren't so pumped up about these words.
Even if they're gay and have learned to "embrace" the word, how does that give them the write to use it towards people who aren't even gay as an insult?
k Yolandi, your friend being gay and saying it, is not the same as you saying it ^_^
Some of these straight girls saying "i have gay friends, i can say that word" are really annoying the **** out of me
