Diplo, Mark Ronson, Wiz Khalifa, Tinie Tempah, Riz Ahmed, and More Play Video ‘Hos in New Charli XCX Video.

Lots of women in pop music have turned the tables and subverted or flipped the male gaze by casting men as sex objects in their videos – Salt & Pepa in “Shoop;” Madonna in “Express Yourself” (among others,) and Jennifer Lopez with “I Luh Ya Papi” are just three examples. Charli XCX, in the video for “Boys,” which she co-directed with Sarah McColgan, joins those esteemed femmes in the quest for parity. Guys of every hue and body type are objectified and reduced to happy-to-be-here eye candy in the tongue-in-cheek clip.
