The hiphopapotamus is the rap music pseudonym of a fictional character created by comedian Jermaine Clement.

In the song "hiphopapotamus vs rhymenocerous" he acknowledges that some of his lyrics have been perceived as sexist (which is the tenuous link to the posted story), but that as part of a positive self development he is trying to change this aspect of his behaviour. Unfortunately (or fortunately from the comedic aspect), when delivering this line in the song he is, through some oversight, sexist, by referring to the offended parties as bitches and hoes (american rap vernacular for whores or prostitutes).

HTH
