The blockbuster film Suicide Squad has been slammed not just by the critics - members of the zef-rap rave crew Die Antwoord are spitting mad, too. The group's ¥o-landi Vi$$er took to Instagram to accuse Suicide Squad director David Ayer of "jocking" their style.Vi$$er uploaded a montage that compared characters in the movie to Die Antwoord's look.It pointed to group member Ninja and actor Jared Leto's character The Joker in the film: both wear long trench coats with no shirt underneath.The video also shows Vi$$er and Harley Quinn, played by Margot Robbie, both wearing three watches on their wrists. Addressing Ayer in her Instagram post, Vi$$er said: "And when ninja texted u sayin wassup wif dat u said nothin like a scared lil bitch," adding that the group had not given him permission to rip them off.She said that "poor Ninja" had to sit through the "whole bulls***t movie at the premier".Vi$$er said Ayer had been talking about Die Antwoord on the set of Suicide Squad and had called Ninja.But if Die Antwoord were looking for sympathy, the Twitterati were not up for it.Gugulethu Mhlungu ?@GugsM said: "Die Antwoord, whose whole career is built on cultural appropriation, are upset someone stole from them?!"Colin MacRae ?@colinmac7 said: "I guess I'm not the only one laughing at Die Antwoord for accusing someone of ripping off their look. Pot. Kettle. Black."..
