Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee has slammed the US President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle for letting their daughters to listen to the music of Beyonce.

The 59-year-old politician said while promoting his new book that he doesn't understand how on one hand they can be such doting parents and so careful about the intake of everything, like how much broccoli they eat and where they go to school and yet they don't see anything that might not be suitable in Beyonce's lyrics, the ABC News reported.

Huckabee, who thinks Beyonce's choreography is best left for the privacy of her bedroom, described in his book, titled 'God, Guns, Grits and Gravy,' that the 'Halo' singer's lyrics is "obnoxious and toxic mental poison" and her husband, rapper Jay-Z, exploits his wife like a "pimp."

The first lady's office declined to comment on Huckabee's comments.
