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"

  • "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.
