"and Muggs who we've done this album with, who calls himself the Black Goat now." "We've got other people like our DJ, GOD, the artist previously known as DJ Hi-Tek," says Ninja. While Visser did write "DJ Hi-Tek is GOD dum fux!!!" on her Instagram page some months ago, Ninja also confirmed this when talking to us. After their 2012 album Ten$ion, it appeared that DJ Hi-Tek was replaced by GOD, which would've made sense considering the controversy around his part in the song "Fok Julle Naaiers". Some claim that Ninja himself is GOD, while a few have even theorized that Aphex Twin is behind Die Antwoord's music, although there's no evidence to support that. There have been plenty of conspiracies surrounding the identity of GOD. We're super close friends and we're always collaborating with him and it's all climaxing." "Roger Ballen is pretty much a member of Die Antwoord, it would be safe to say," Ninja tells Exclaim! "He's in our group. According to Ninja, the fifth member of the group is artist and photographer Roger Ballen, who's been a huge influence on the look and style of Die Antwoord since their formation in 2007. Muggs, who goes under the name the Black Goat in this case, appeared briefly on Donker Mag before working with Die Antwoord on their Suck on This mixtape, released earlier this year, and was also instrumental in the production of Mount Ninji and Da Nice Time Kid. Recently joining the roster, however, is DJ Muggs, of Cypress Hill fame. Yolandi Visser and Ninja are the obvious ones, and their DJ/producer, GOD, is mentioned a number of times throughout their albums, although his face is never shown in videos. So, here are five other things we learned from our conversation with Ninja. During our hour-long interview, Ninja spoke candidly about death, fandom, losing his identity and moving past Die Antwoord. In the ensuing clamour, the rest of the findings from the conversation went largely unnoticed. After we interviewed Ninja of Die Antwoord and reported that the band are splitting up in 2017, the duo took to Instagram in order to deny our claims.
