What makes it a joke? Why is it funny? Explain to everyone why no one wanting to take credit for WAP is funny.

I don't think there's a reason that doesn't circle back to my original assessment of the guy.

Because the lyrics are amazingly vulgar and are inappropriate for most conversations.

How does that make not wanting to take credit for it a joke?

And was this the first song that was "amazingly vulgar" or "inappropriate for most conversations"?

This is a conversation, not a deposition.

Deflection after deflection. If you really have no defense of the guy, don't step in to defend him.
