Outrageous musical satirist Kunt has released a song about Russell Brand in the wake of him being sentenced for 10-and-a-half years for rape and sexual assault.
Lyrics for We All Love The Brand tell how the former comedian used his dubious charms to become a messiah figure for his followers.
The song has been released as part of the Kuntwork project, in which the comic uses AI to bring his satirical songwriting to fruition.
