Russell Brand has been accused of 'mansplaining feminism' after he criticised Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's music video for WAP [Wet A*s P***y].

But on social media, many said it was ironic of Brand to criticise women for celebrating their sexuality when he used to boast of his own promiscuity.

Prompting fury: Russell Brand has been accused of 'mansplaining feminism' after he criticised Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's music video for WAP

In the video, Brand says: 'If male hip hop tropes are about the potency of male sexuality... and then the female video is a sort of celebration of sexual potency… 

'It’s an emulation of a template that already exists and was established by males. 

'Is it equality if the template has already been established by the former dominator? The answer is no.'

The actor then goes on to compare the music video to the leadership style of Margaret Thatcher.

Controversy: WAP contains provocative lyrics about sex and desire with a number of very suggestive innuendos

Angry: Many on social media accused Brand of mansplaining and said how women use their bodies isn't up to him

He said: 'Was Margaret Thatcher a feminist icon? No, because the values that she extolled, espoused and conveyed were male values. She was a woman-man. She was a very, very powerful person, a brilliant politician.

'But her premiership did not lead to more opportunity for women, more success for women, conventional female values such as nurture, caringness, equality.'

Brand's comments sparked fury among many online who accused him of trying to mansplain feminism.

They said it was not his place to tell a pair of black women what they should be able to sing about.

Explosive: He has come under scrutiny for slamming the video

Among the replies to his video were: 'Congratulations to Russell Brand for mansplaining to women how they should enjoy WAP and their own sexuality.'

Another said: 'I'm bored of men thinking it's their place to decide what is and what isn't female empowerment.'

Others also resurfaced an old interview where Brand admitted most of the child rearing at home is left to his wife and he refuses to change his babies' nappies.

He said in an interview with The Times that he adopted a more 'mystical', 'religious' and 'reflective' attitude when it comes to parenting, leaving the most practical aspects to wife Laura Gallacher.

One person wrote on Twitter: 'Don't remember Russell Brand worrying about the "templates of the dominator" when he was "too religious" to change nappies?'

The song WAP contains provocative lyrics about sex and desire with a number of very suggestive innuendos.

In the video, the pair also bared flesh and twerked in a number of barely-there outfits.
