Last week Die Antwoord set twitter abuzz when they released the video for “Fatty Boom Boom”, the latest single from their second album “Ten$ion”. The grossly graphic video caused some controversy because it depicts a meat dress wearing Lady Gaga look-a-like (played by a man) doing some sightseeing in South Africa, getting hijacked, giving birth to a Parktown prawn and ultimately being eaten by a lion. Lady Gaga didn’t take it well, considering the fact that she has been in the spotlight for her recent weight gain, so she took to twitter to express her disdain.

But that was then.

This week internationally renowned, local musician Spoek Mathambo has stolen the spotlight.

The self proclaimed Afro-Futurist released a video for his latest single “Stuck Together”. Taken from his second album, Father Creeper (which was released earlier this year), the video for the guitar driven song was directed by French filmmakers Elias Belkeddar and Ugo Mangin. It tells a haunting yet endearing tale of two lonely elderly people who go through a tumultuous journey in search of togetherness.

Watch Spoek Mathambo’s video and Die Antwoord’s and tell us us what you think of these videos by local artists making it big abroad.
