South African rap/rave duo Die Antwoord has taken issue with Lady Gaga‘s new hairdo, saying the white blonde color and super short bangs are biting the style of singer Yolandi Visser (who has worn the look forEVER). Writes Ninja on his Instagram: “an this iz exactly why we diss this fuktard parasite biter bitch #gagaNYfashionweek” POW! SHOTS FIRED!
This isn’t the first time Die Antwoord has taken aim at Gaga. They have a longstanding feud, even though Gaga was reportedly a fan who invited the duo to open for her on tour. The gesture apparently offended the pair, who responded by having a Gaga impostor mauled by a lion in their video “Fatty Boom Boom” (which is what they call her). But IS Gaga really ripping off Yolandi’s style? Considering Gaga changes her looks every other day and that the bangs are most likely just a wig, I’m thinking it’s not that big of a deal. Besides, who can really claim ownership of a look in this day and age? Everybody steals everything. Homage is the name of the game. Bustle, however, did an in depth investigation, comparing and contrasting the two hairdos.
Gaga’s baby bangs are bowl-shaped and the rest of her hair is long and flowing. [Her] tiny fringe is blended into the rest of her hair, and she’s played with variations of this look before. Visser’s hair is much, much shorter and not nearly as bowl-shaped. It’s certainly a unique and unforgettable cut that works for her, but I don’t feel like Gaga’s bangs are any sort of direct copy, since the shapes and the styling are so different. The main similarity is that both are short on the top and long on the bottom, without being a modern or high fashion mullet. It’s up to you, and your perspective and perception, about whether or not Gaga is copying her look from another artist. The rounded look is why the ‘dos appear so similar. But Visser’s bangs hug the hairline much more. I love it on her; she completely owns it.
