Australian musician Kirin J. Callinan lifts kilt and exposes penis at 2017 ARIA Awards

THIS singer spent his time on the ARIAs red carpet exposing his genitals to shocked fans and photographers. Rock star stunt or indecent assault?

IT HAS been 11 years since Axle Whitehead flashed his penis at the ARIA Awards — so apparently it was time for someone to do it again.

Australian musician Kirin J. Callinan lifted his kilt on the red carpet at the 2017 ARIA Awards in Sydney on Tuesday and exposed his penis for everyone to cop a view.

Decked out in the tartan skirt, a black singlet, sunglasses and cowboy boots, the Sydney musician lifted the front of the kilt while standing against a media wall at the event.

And it wasn’t just a cheeky flash. Callinan stood proudly for a solid moment to make sure it was seen and captured.

Oh yowza.

A little more PG.

Callinan’s shocking display earned him a quick backlash from music lovers following the event on social media — many quick to point out that, in 2017, forcing people to look at your genitals is not a great look for a male in the entertainment industry.

was kirin j callinan removed from the arias after what he did bc subjecting everyone to his penis is really not okay and shouldn't be seen any other way

Indecent exposure is a criminal offence in New South Wales. Callinan could face up to six months in jail and/or a fine of up to $610 if prosecuted.

The peen-obsessed pop star’s latest album, Bravado, features cover art that appears to show him urinating onto his own face:

Eeeew.

Formerly a member of the band Mercy Arms, Callinan was in the news recently after US talk show host Jimmy Fallon sledged a song the musician released that sampled Jimmy Barnes’ iconic scream.

On The Tonight Show there’s a segment called “Do Not Play” in which Fallon plays snippets of bad songs from around the world and warns his viewers not to listen to them ever again.

Recently, he picked a song by Callinan which features the confronting scream.

“It’s an Australian singer called Kirin J Callinan, and the song is called Big Enough,” Fallon told the audience while holding up the album cover.

He started playing the EDM/country song but cut it after the section featuring Barnesy’s screaming.

“Stop, stop, stop, stop it!” Fallon yelled. “The scream?! He really just kept going higher and higher.”

Barnes’ son, David Campbell, was quick to hit back at Fallon on Today Extra and called on the talk show host to apologise.

Coincidentally, Fallon’s reaction to the song was also kind of our reaction to the red carpet willy stunt:

Fallon’s unimpressed by the tune.
