Literally I Can't... keep up with the backlash: Redfoo defends new song by calling it 'satire' as critics and fans slam him for disrespecting women

If American rapper and honourary Aussie, Redfoo, tried to ruffle some feathers with his new song, then he got more than he bargained for.

The track, Literally I Can't, is not only getting negative press, but it's also copping a severe backlash from fans over it's misogynist lyrics but he has hit back defending his lyrics.

'@PlaynSkillz @LilJon @EnertiaMcFly and I made a comical party song to satirize the cliche,' Redfoo tweeted about the collaboration on Tuesday.

'Some get it, some don't,' he added in response to the being banned by news outlet TheFIX for the message in his latest song.

The song includes lyrics such as: 'You're annoying b**** because you're talking', followed by '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,' Redfoo raps at another point in the song.

The X-Factor Australia mentor also wrote on Twitter in his defense: 'I love and respect women and feel they are the most powerful people on this planet!'

In the four-part Twitter rant, the 39-year-old accused the media of 'victimizing an artist by purposely misinterpreting his/her work to support a pre-existing agenda'.

Fans responded in droves, some supporting the star but most were not having it.

A mixture of guys and girls slammed the rapper, who released the track on his own record label Party Rock Records.

'Dude, you've got a video of bro's victimizing a group of women because they didn't feel safe drinking with them,' Matty Whiting from Melbourne wrote, hash-tagging the phrase 'literally she said no'.

Another Melbourne fan, Randy Vandercleave, expressed his disappointment as well, saying: 'Telling a woman who objects to your drunken request for 'girl on girl' to 's*** the fuck up' is neither love nor respect'.

Michelle Hitch told the rappers their satire wasn't very funny or satirical, while Emma Horsburgh matter-of-factly stated: 'At US colleges 1/4 women will be sexually assaulted during their academic career - 'artists' are not the victims'.

Comedian Carlo Sands wrote seriously to all of the artists who collaborated on the song: 'That is not a 'fact' but a self-justifying claim for a totally unjustifiable 'song''.

Some support: Die hard fans shared their support for the song and maintained they would stand by the singer

But perhaps the biggest sign that Redfoo's Australian fans were turning on him came from blogger Mrs Woog.

'@RedFoo disappointed in your latest collaboration. It was with much admiration I watched your I/V on @sundaynighton7 but now, not so much...' she tweeted the star.

The rapper's defecse of his song and lyrics have called into question his suitability to mentor up-and-coming artists, some as young as 14, in his role as X-Factor Australia judge.

Whether this release will impact his position on the panel of the family friendly Channel 7 show next year, alongside Ronan Keating, Dannii Minogue and Natalie Basingthwaighte, remains to be seen.

The video clip for the song features a conservative group of sorority sisters being told to shut up after stumbling into a frat party and refusing shots of Tequila or to take part in girl-on-girl action.

The sorority girls reply to each suggestion with the phrase 'literally, I can't', as they shake their head in shock and disgust.

As the 'party-poopers' fend off the advances, American rapper Lil Jon looks at them annoyed and tells them to 'shut the f*** up!'.

A group of guys surrounds the girls after they say no to try and change their mind with all succumbing in the end.

Despite the negative publicity of the song, the You Tube sats for the clip have skyrocketed - sitting at just over 730,000 views as of Tuesday.

Prior to the controversy, the clip had received less than 100,000 clicks as of Friday, although it had been online a week at that point.

The storm surrounding the song is similar to that of Robin Thicke's 2013 hit Blurred Lines, which was accused of promoting rape, diminishing women by telling them what they want and ignoring the 'no means no' mentality, a claim later denied by the singer.
