Redfoo Defends Song 'Literally I Can't', Says He's Been "Victimised"

The former LMFAO star took to Twitter after his latest single and music video were branded sexist...

Redfoo has leapt to the defence of his new song Literally I Can't after it was criticised for being sexist.

The accompanying music video also came under fire, with promo telling the tale of a group of sorority sisters who according to the promo description are "transformed one at a time into girls gone wild" with the exception of the "uptight president".

It continues: "The #LIC sorority sisters who strictly abide by their 'Literally I Can't'mantra reluctantly show up at the #STFU frat house to show face at the hottest party on campus.

"Unable to resist what the boys have to offer, they're transformed one at a time into girls gone wild until the only one left standing is the uptight president who's forced out of the party."

The track also sees Redfoo rapping the lyrics: "You got a big ol' butt, I can tell by the way you walking/ But you annoy me because you talking," and: "Girl, I'm sipping on this drink trying to see what you got/ Not trying to hear what you think."

The Party Rock Anthem hitmakerhas since taken to Twitter to defend the tune, writing: "Another example of critics victimising an artist by purposely misinterpreting his/her work to support a pre-existing agenda."

He went on: "Fact #1: The word "sl*t" never appears in the lyrics of #LiterallyICant.

"Fact #2: I love & respect women and feel they are the most powerful people on this planet! #LiterallyICant."

Redfoo then concluded: "Fact #3: @PlaynSkillz @LilJon @EnertiaMcFly & I made a comical party song to satirize the cliche #LiterallyICant. Some get it, some don’t."

Another example of critics victimizing an artist by purposely misinterpreting his/her work to support a pre-existing agenda. #LiterallyICant
