South African music group Die Antwoord is accusing director David Ayer of plagiarizing their trademark style for "Suicide Squad" -- in particular, the designs for Harley Quinn and the Joker as they appear in the film.
Yolandi Visser of Die Antwoord cited several examples of the alleged plagiarism in a post to Instagram, captioning the video with the following text: "yes David Ayer u jockin our style [sic]. callin ninja up before your movie came [out] pretendin 2b down, so it looks OK when u bite our black & white graf style & out opening sequence to umshiniwam & all da lil tiny details [you] nibbled dat other people wont see but we notice. Cara & Jared told us how much [you] were talkin [about] us on set but [you] never asked our permission to rip us off."

Visser references having conversations with Ayer, and says Jared Leto and Cara Delevingne told them Ayer would talk about Die Antwoord frequently on the "Suicide Squad" set.
Though there's no evidence of Ayer discussing Die Antwoord on the film's set, the music group definitely has a history with Delevingne; she starred in the music video for their song "Ugly Boy."
