Haiti's outgoing president has released a brash pop song jeering at his critics and aiming sexually suggestive lyrics at his main target, an award-winning female journalist.

In an unusual move by a sitting leader, President Michel Martelly released during what is likely his last week in office a track called "Bal Bannann Nan" — Haitian Creole for "Give Them the Banana." The song is credited to Sweet Micky, the stage name he used as a pop star before being elected.

Martelly and backing vocalists repeatedly sing suggestive lyrics while referring to bananas and well-known radio reporter and human rights advocate Liliane Pierre-Paul.
