Danny Brown claims Ninja, one-half of the controversial South African Hip Hop duo Die Antwoord, sexually assaulted him at a party in Paris.
The Detroit native dropped the bombshell during a recent appearance on comedian Tom Segura’s 2 Bears 1 Cave podcast, alleging the 47-year-old rapper (real name Watkin Tudor Jones) sat on his lap and forcibly kissed him on the neck. The incident left Brown “shellshocked” and “freaked out.”
“The n-gga was sitting on my lap trying to make out with me, and it freaked me out,” he said. “[I was] in Paris, in a nightclub. I played this show and then my DJ had an afterparty. [Ninja] tried to put it on you with Yolandi [Visser, fellow Die Antwoord member, with whom he shares a child] like, ‘You know what I’m saying? My bitch ready to…’
“I was a single, experimenting man at the time, but he was too aggressive! He sat on my lap and started trying to kiss me and shit and doing weird shit. I’m like, ‘Man, you tripping!’ Then everybody looking at me like, ‘Somebody fuck!'”
Danny Brown claimed Ninja then promised to find which hotel he was staying at. Ninja’s creepy behavior left him so “stressed out,” the Bruiser Brigade rapper began drinking heavily in anticipation of fighting — or worse, stabbing — him.
“That would’ve been a fight, but I’m in Paris. Who want to be in a Parisian jail?” he continued. “N-gga, do you know what jail is like for me in Paris? It’s gonna be crazy. So I’m shellshocked, like, ‘This n-gga’s really doing this?!’ … [But] I didn’t want to push the n-gga to, like, throw the n-gga up off me.
“And guess what he said again? He was like, ‘What hotel you staying at?’ I’m like, ‘Man, I don’t’ — ‘Don’t worry, I’ll find you.’ That’s what started making me pound drinks because I’m like, ‘I might have to stab this n-gga tonight.’ Because if this n-gga knock on my hotel room door, bro, it’s gonna be a big deal.”

Brown revealed he met Ninja after the South African MC attended his concert in the French capital, and noticed a “red flag” even before they linked in person.
“You know the fucked up part? He hit me up in the DMs like, ‘Yo, I’ma come to your show.’ I’m like, ‘You want me to put you on the list?’ He’s like, ‘Don’t worry about it, I’ll find you,’” he said. “And I’m like, ‘…Okay?’ That was weird, that was one red flag. Then I’m playing my show and he crowd-surfed to the stage to me.”
When Segura pulled up a photo of Ninja, Brown confirmed it was him who sexually assaulted him.
“Yeah, Ninja. Ninja tried to fuck me,” he said. “I was scared. They’ve been getting canceled a lot lately, been doing a lot of weird shit. But he always throw Yolandi on you. I think that’s how he’s been fucking n-ggas. Fuck them, though! Fuck them. I could’ve canceled cuz. Me too. I was sexually assaulted by Ninja. He know I ain’t lying!”
Ninja has yet to respond to the allegations. It’s unclear when the alleged incident took place exactly.
Danny Brown is just the latest person to come forward with such accusations against Ninja. In 2019, an Australian musician named Zheani Sparkes filed a police report accusing him of sexual assault, grooming and revenge porn in 2013. Another singer named Dionna Dal Monte came forward soon after and claimed Ninja sexually assaulted her in Italy.
Die Antwoord have also faced backlash for various racist and homophobic incidents. Their music videos for “Fatty Boom Boom” and “Ugly Boy” depict characters in blackface, while Yolandi was heard using a homophobic slur during an attack on DJ Andy Butler in 2012.
looks like a hobo.
Listened to that episode yesterday.
Danny Brown is a funny mf!
“I was a single, experimenting man at the time…” WTF?! I swear to God this era is so fucked up! These are the rappers our youth is listening to. At the way the things are going, this genre of music is going to be 100% LGBTQ. This shit makes me puke! Fuck em and their agendas.
That’s what they want. Don’t do it.
Literally what agenda are you talking about you homophobic ass oldhead
Danny Brown is a sissy.. shocker smh
“I was a single, experimenting man at the time, but he was too aggressive!” …sooo, Danny is gay?? is this new or nah?
Gross
one by one I knocks em out, and give less fucks than Danny Brown – Prodigy “Mic Rocosm”
how many bars from that album gonna end up being true?
This Danny dude is a fruitcake, cause ain’t no man sitting on my lap period. The only male who could ever sit on my lap would be my child when he is like 2-3 years old, and even my son when he is 4-5 years old he gotta sit in his own seat. He should have dumped that weird dude right on his dome, and if he tried it again put paws on him. End Of Story.
You can sit on my lap anytime
You sound like a predator sexualizing a kid like that
This dude said he was single and experimental at the time, lol. So this dude just wasn’t his type. This generation something else.
Damn
Lost all respect for that sissified clown Danny, talking about I was experimenting at the time. Wtf? I’m from Detroit and he just got cancelled in Detroit. He should be blacklisted in Detroit by other Detroit artists. Smdh.
Damn hahaha
Well, at least he admitted it. Not mad at him for that. He said he was a single, experimental man at that time. That says it.
All I get from this article is that Danny Brown is a beta male and likes bussy. Another weirdo that I’m about to block on Spotify. He’s on the no play list with nasx, ,Cardi, megan,frank ocean,tyler, bia, city girls, and Isiah rashad.
Facts. BTW I been tryna block Lil Nas X everytime my Nas playlist come up this cum snatcha’s babylon algorithm sneaks his ass in the rotation (pause). How do I block these animals
Some of y’all are really weird and need to check source of your homopobia. Let that man experiment if he wants. How does that impact your life?
If he’d revealed the news via his lyrics on a new project then he would have made money on his account
Danny Brown is so cringe doing anything for clout awful music , comedy , podcasts
He is the funniest guy ever gtfoh

I use to like this dude now I’m good on this twinkle toes ass clown
Stupid black people from the US… they are known now in the world for being sexual slave for all LGBZZZ fetishists..
You follow the agenda of your masters now enjoy
Fokken bullshit, Another money grab. Danny Brown this ain’t it.
Anyone talkin shit about Danny is a punk straight up. Dude’s one of the most underrated rappers of all time, every album he’s dropped has been a straight up classic, he’s a top-tier performer and a genuinely good dude. I met him after the Oakland leg of the LongLiveASAP tour when I was a kid, have had a few conversations with him through social media over the years and he’s always treated me like an equal and spoke to me man-to-man, he’s a class act and I’ll fight any motherfucker says otherwise. There aren’t many celebrities I’ll go to bat for but I’ll always have Danny Brown’s back. I don’t know exactly what ‘experimental’ means, i don’t really care, if he likes guys too, whatever. Doesn’t change a thing. I don’t judge anybody on their sexual preferences as long as they’re not taking advantage of anybody or touching kids. You’re bitchmade if you worry about rappers being bisexual or gay. Dude is man enough to talk about it publicly and he’s got more pussy than any man in this comments thread, guaranteed. One of his best songs off XXX (“I Will”) is an outright ode to cunnilingus, the first bars are “Take it off baby, bend over, let me see it / Ya lookin for a real pussy eater, I could be it / Quit playin with me girl, and bring it over here / Climb aboard my face, put ya pussy on my beard”, for fuck’s sake! You’re dumb as shit if you call him gay (you’re dumb as shit if you think gay is an insult) the man obviously loves pussy as much as Wilt Chaimberlain did, if he experimented with dudes, whatever. I couldn’t care less, literally. Doesn’t change the fact that Danny Brown’s probably my favorite individual rapper of all time, all of his albums, especially XXX and Old are among my favorite rap albums of all time, so many of his songs are instant classics, he’s more of a man than any of you pussies who wanna worry about what other guys get off on, worry about your own dick, weirdo, cuz you sound pretty gay worrying about what other guys do with theirs. No matter what his sexual proclivities are he’s one of the most talented rappers to ever hold a mic, he’s spit some of the wildest, most creative verses of all time, is probably the single funniest rapper ever, his taste in music is one of the greatest and most diverse of any musician, and his knowledge of music is nearly encyclopedic. He’s tougher, more honest, and realer than any of you bitches. If anyone still wants to talk shit about him hit me up, so I can put you corny fucks back in your place. Show a legend like Danny Brown some god damn respect you sorry ass creeps.
all y’all losers hatin on danny actin like this man hasn’t gotten more pussy than you ever will in your entire life lmao
