In a recent MTV News interview with hiphop/pop group ‘Die Antwoord’. The band revealed that they turned down an opportunity to tour with the Grammy award wining singer saying.
“Lady Gaga asked us to tour with her and we were like, um, no thanks.” They then went on to say
“Our stuff is like f*cking hardcore like solid heavyweight! We want it to be like a secret mind-f*ck! People are like what the f*ck 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 sh*t. You know?”
“I think they though we were just like a weird, strange act, then like ‘Let’s just let them have their fun for a while, and then when it comes to their second album we’ll have them play games’”. says lead singer Ninja . “They were looking at Lady Gaga and The Black Eyed Peas and that type of shi*ty pop music, and were thinking we could like twist into that.”
