A video purportedly from 2012 in which Die Antwoord appear to physically assault and shout homophobic slurs at Andy Butler of Hercules and Love Affair has surfaced online. In the weeks to follow, the South African duo have been removed from the lineups of the 2019 editions of Louder Than Life in Louisville, Kentucky and Life Is Beautiful Music & Art Festival in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The video, whose caption says that it was taken at the 2012 Adelaide iteration of Future Music Festival, appears to show Die Antwoord (real names Watkin Tudor Jones and Yolandi Visser) antagonizing Butler, who is openly gay. In the beginning, Jones runs towards him and attacks him while Visser calls him a "f*****." After a scuffle, Jones instructs Visser to pretend that Butler molested her, and she feigns tears as he tells passersby that version of the story.
