what happened to die antwoord

Die Antwoord, a South African rap duo, have been accused of physical and sexual abuse, exploitation, and slavery by their adopted son, Gabriel du Preez, who was adopted by Yolandi Visser and Ninja when he was nine years old. Du Preez also accused them of taking him and his sister to a private clinic to withdraw their blood as part of a supposed ritual, introducing them to gangsters, exposing him to pornography and sex toys, and giving him alcohol and drugs. The allegations have crushed the duos reputation, and they have been removed from several music festivals in the past due to past allegations of abuse, racism, and homophobia, which they have always denied. The social welfare team of Cape Town has visited du Toit and Jones, and social workers have also adopted Du Preez’s sister, who is 14 years old and now lives with another family still under the duo’s custody. Die Antwoords agent Scumeck Sabottka has denied the allegations, simply saying, “Die Antwoord don’t agree with Tokkie’s statements” .
