Die Antwoord Mock Eminem For Mispronouncing Their Name

    South African Hip Hop group Die Antwoord aren’t fans of their shoutout on Eminem’s new song “Untouchable.” On the track, Slim Shady mispronounces their name for the sake of a rhyme.

    “I’d rather hear ’em say ‘die n-word’ than Die Antwoord/ Ninja, now it’s better disguised banter,” Eminem raps on the third verse.

    Die Antwoord’s Yolandi Visser posted a video on Instagram in which she sarcastically showed how to properly pronounce the band’s name.

    She wasn’t done there, sharing another video where she asked Eminem how he’d feel if she mispronounced his name. Visser and fellow Die Antwoord member Ninja then came up with their own version of getting his name wrong to fit a rhyme.

    “Ok, so like, how would you feel if I called you E-eminem?” she said. “Ok, your name’s Eminem but I call you E-eminem just because it rhymes with something, you know.”

    “E-eminem went to jail and got a bit of semen in his bum and was never seen again,” they both said.”

    Eminem’s Revival drops on Friday (December 15).

    1. Complaining about the pronunciation of there name while fucking up every possible way to spell things and mis pronouncing half the words they say… just take the name drop and get outta here

    2. This reminds me of when Eminem shouted out the outsidaz and then young zee came out with a song kinda dissing Em for shouting them out

      1. What Young Zee song is this? Em and outs been cool for years. Em used to sleep on zees couch before he blew up.
        And zee was signed to shady before. Why would he sneak diss Em? Show me that track. I gotta hear it.

    3. It’s a diss. They have clowned black people by wearing blackface and other more subtle ways. He’d rather hear raw racism than low-key racism. Ninja. Die Antwoord. Think about it. Notice they reply about the mispronunciation and not about the accusation that they play on racial stuff to be edgy.

      1. You are a dummy. They didnt do blackface. She was also wearing weird Monster Contact Lenses in that Video. It wasnt suppose to portrait a Black person (who technically arent black but more dark brown) rather than a Monster or Beast. The only one who thought that was eacist or blackface were sensitive C*nts and liberal Snowflakes

        1. And the only people using the word “snowflake” are chicken shit republicans that grow nuts behind a computer/cell phone. Its plenty of “snowflakes” that would knock your fuckin top off in real life. And, btw, ninja is playing on the N word, and Die Antwoord is purposely mispronouncing The N-word. But keep on supporting Roy Moore; you and your sister make a great couple

          1. Coming from a Guy making assumption about someone he doesnt know on the Internet. The Irony. I’m a Brown Belt in Jiu Jitsu I highly doubt that the average “Snowflake” is trained in Martial Arts. And I never said anything about the Line of Eminem I understand the Ninja Wordplay. What I said is that she painting herself black was not supposed to portrait a Black Person so there was no need to get offended unless you a Snowflake or a Sensitive C*nt who wants to be offended.

      2. I also thing he’s playing on the fact that ninja can be used as a substitute for n word. Definitely don’t think he’s shouting them out though lol they got it twisted

    4. I know it’s been going for a while now but it’s still hard to believe Eminem is a social justice warrior now. Acting like he didnt origionally gain national attention bashing gays , making fun of shootings, and fantisizing about killing his wife and dumping the body while his sat next to him…. BUT now Die Antwoord needs to be seen as the racist monsters they are! Lol smh

    5. So he basically pronnounced a south african name in english. So what ? U americans call Michelangelo Michael Angelo. Same goes for many others.

      1. Haha yeah, and Van Gogh ‘van gow’ how could this offend anyone? These clowns will profit from some people actually streaming their songs

    6. Hi- nobody knows or cares about you enough to pronounce your name correctly and, furthermore, you should be thanking Em because now everyone on here knows who you are for the very first time! All publicity is good publicity even if none of us care enough to look up one of your songs

        1. Yeah. He is stuck in that Hip-Hop/EDM bubble which is American, as both art forms were created in the U.S.. Dipshit…

    7. However I think this Eminem song is a piece of shit and he should’ve been retire for 10 years, Die Antwoord should be grateful for this mentioning.

      1. Just out of curiosity, how come you think “untouchable” is a piece of shit song? And why should he have retired 10 years ago?

        1. I’m not the OP but if I were to harbour a guess as to why someone would suggest Em should’ve retired 10 years ago it’s because his body of work has been irredeemably awful for at least a decade.

    8. EM ..JUSTED BODIED ANOTHER ,,STUPID GROUP..TRYING TO BE FRESH,,,I WOULD OF NEVER SEEN THAT,,FROM N,,WORD—–
      THX…GOAT…..2-EM HAS THE BEST LYRICS I{VE EVER HEARD OR RHYME OR FLOW,,,THIS DUDE IS THE BOMB

    9. ALL SEEING EYE THE 1st PIC DUAL 666s IN THE STILL FOR THE VIDEO FROM THE CHICK DANG HIPHOPDX CAN YA’LL PUSH THE LUCIFERIAN SATANIC AGENDA ANY HARDER OR NAW?

        1. The whole white genocide and transhumanism part (Fusing us with high tech, thus makin us subhumans – More machine and less human).

          1. Wow. That sounds really bad. Can’t believe DX is in on it. Good thing you’re here to educate the masses via the strategic use of the internet comment section. Godspeed!

    10. THAT DUDE NINJA USED TO SING R N’ B SONGS DID YOU KNOW THAT? MY BOY FROM SOUTH AFRICA SHOWED ME HIS SONGS. THEN — JUST LIKE POST MALONE — HE DECIDED TO GET RICH OFF OF RAP

    11. Redneck f*cks! Ignorant degenerates! Just watch some interviews and see how they think that they are super intelligent and sh*t. Never seen in my life any proper human being is a fan of these f*cktards. Em would gut them with every word he spit. At least, they would have had some knowledge in their rotten skulls…

    12. Not a huge fan of Em, but 1: who tf are they? 2. Why are they milking this, just accept the shout out and move on jfc

    13. It’s jus hip hop. MC’s bend words all the time, how they pronounced or spelled. Twist some ish 2 rhyme words a way regular ppl cant. That’s the point of MC, use n abus3 them words 2 lace everybody with the dopest rap, with or without some muzik. These Crack heads know this, jus squeezing the opportunity 4 a headline.

    14. Dumb move dissing him for it, could have been great exposure for them if they handled it differently. Instead any Eminem fans who look up who the f**k he’s talking about will more than likely dismiss them.

      It’s for the best though, they suck.

    15. He purposely mispronounced your name for a play on words, fucking talentless crackheads. That Charlie movie was garbage, and you had basically one OK song out of the rest of your Kool Keith biting ass shit. Basically, you are on the same level as Azelia Banks. Be grateful for the shoutout. You would be lucky to have him respond or diss you. People outside of that shanty town of a ghetto you live in might actually know who you are for once. You live in a gated community and drive around in billet proof cats with security, thinking your hard. BTW. They are both literally on crack and like being cucks. GTFOH. No one cares about pronouncing your click click God’s must be crazy ass slave master language.

        1. No. The prawns are taking over. And all of a sudden Shitlito Cooper is considered an actor. I’m not Okay. Even sitting in my pool at home typing this.

      1. @die shitword Stop being such a bum boy for eminem. Yeah the guys a legend but has released nothing but shit since about 2005. These guys are incredibly original and have the best live show I’ve seen in years. And coming from someone who has been involved in big stage and festival productions for the last ten years, that’s a pretty big accolade. I’ve rigged for eminem. His show was shit. Bought his first album when I was 12 and listened to it every day. Love him. But his show was shit. And Die Antwoord are where it’s at right now. Hands down.

    17. Also, for all of you musically confused MFs (including whoever wrote this article), DA are not, nor claim to be, a hip Hop act. Their music is a very different beast.

      Although some of the murmur rap bullshit y’all call hip-hop these days I guess it’s easy to throw the name around.

    18. These fools are straight trash I don’t care how live their shows are. TRAAASH, GARBAGIO, DOODOO. I don’t know how else to express how sorry these so-called entertainers are.
