Singer Redfoo Refuses To Apologize For 'Literally I Can't,' 'Most Sexist Song Of The Year'
Rapper Redfoo is in hot water after the release of his new song, "Literally I Can't," featuring Lil Jon and Enertia McFly as frat bros telling a group of sorority girls who reject their advances to "shut the f--- up."
The girls' response to the boys' suggestions of taking tequila shots and the like? The popular new phrase, "Literally I can't." It essentially means "speechless," which is how the Redfoo video is leaving viewers.
The Australian X Factor judge and "Party Rock Anthem" singer is being blasted for the sexist music video, as well as the song's misogynist lyrics, which include gems like these:
- "You're annoying b---- because you're talking"
- "Shhh, don't talk about it be about it. Work it, twerk it and maybe I'll tweet about it"
- "Girl I'm sipping on this drink, trying to see what you got, not hear what you think."
- "Shhh ... I said jump on the pole; I didn't need your opinion..."
Unsurprisingly, many are not amused.
Change.org has a petition with nearly 5,000 signatures calling for Redfoo to not be rehired as a mentor on "X Factor Australia."
The rapper tried defending himself on Twitter today:
