Jordan Stephens, one half of British hip hop duo Rizzle Kicks, has attacked the "misogynistic" and "homophobic" lyrics in rap songs by artists such as Kanye West.

However, the musician may have forgotten about his own number two hit, "Mama Do The Hump", which contains the lyrics: "Yeah lemme touch back down/Slap her on the bum until it comes back round," and, "Mama, do the hump, mama do the hump, hump."
