Keeping track of new music, media and industry news.

Every time Die Antwoord make a new video it causes a splash, and the reaction to “Fatty Boom Boom” has been the biggest yet. Lady Gaga was not amused by her portrayal in the video, which features her giving birth to a prawn (those guys!), and took to the internet to respond, tweeting “i fink u freaky but you don’t have a hit. hundred thousand tIckets sold in SA. #thatmyshit”. The South African’s responded with, “lady… even tho u r ‘larger’ than us… we still cooler than u… plus we don’t have prawns in our private parts”. The band’s Yo-landi Vi$$er then took things a step further in a recent interview – while she claimed the track’s title was nothing to do with the ridiculous recent focus on Gaga’s weight, there was more than a hint of bitchiness to the way she did it: “this is just a coincidence, as the song was released in February when she was still fit”. Ouch! She also denied accusations that the video, which sees her painted black from head to toe, was racist: “We don’t even know what blackface is”.
