The Wire

American rapper, musician, and X Factor Australia judge Red Foo is shufflin’ in his seat as controversy over the release of his new track “Literally I Can’t” heats up. Not only does the track contain sexist lyrics, the video clip shows young women being sexualised and even terrorised by young men, and it’s got Aussie women up in arms.

The song includes lyrics such as “You’re annoying b—- because you’re talking” and “Girl I’m sipping on this drink, trying to see what you got, not hear what you think.” The offensive lyrics and equally unsettling video clip have cause Aussies to petition Channel 7 to have him removed from the judging panel for the next season of The X Factor. Channel 7 are currently not making any comments on the situation.
