The comedian discussed the controversial video — which also stars Kylie Jenner and Normani — on his YouTube channel, saying it is a “capitalist objectification and commodification” of females.
He explained: “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 is established by males.
“Is it equality if it has been established by the former dominator? The answer is no.”
Brand made the comments shortly after Cardi admitted to being surprised by the reaction to the raunchy video.
The rap star said: “I’ve been really surprised by the reaction, honestly.
“I knew it was gonna have a big impact, I guess, because of me and Megan. But I didn’t know it was going to be so controversial.
“I never expected that, you know, conservatives and Republicans were going to be talking about the song. I didn’t think the song was as vulgar as they said it was, you know?”
