Controversial Video

Controversial video:


Brief Explanation: 

In the video there is a man dressed as Lady Gaga wearing Gaga's famous meat dress. Lady Gaga is getting a tour of Johannesburg in the video. Her tour guide points out Die Antwoord, who are preparing to street-perform in the video. She says that she wants to tour with them  (a reference to Die Antwoord's former label, Interscope Records, contacting them in March 2012 and informing them Gaga wished to have the band open for her during the Born This Way Ball, to which they declined.) In the video, Lady Gaga's bus is hijacked and she runs away in fear. During her escape she finds the office of a gynecologist. She says to him that there is something "really funny going on down there" before he removes a prawn from her vagina! When she leaves the office, she is chased by a lion before being eaten by it. In between the scenes of Gaga are scenes of Yo-Landi, Ninja, and DJ Hi-Tek performing.

There was a lot of controversy along with this video. The whole video is basically Die Antwoord making fun of Lady Gaga and other pop artists. There was a fight between Lady Gaga and Die Antwoord after this video was released.
