Robbie Williams Denies Cocaine Claims at World Cup Final: It Was a Mint
During the 2026 World Cup final between Spain and Argentina, Robbie Williams sparked controversy when a white substance fell from his face during a live interview. Social media users quickly speculated it was cocaine, given the singer's past struggles with addiction.
The 52-year-old musician, however, was quick to set the record straight. In an Instagram video, he jokingly apologized: 'I'm sorry for the object that fell onto the microphone. It was deeply unprofessional, and people worried about me. But it's okay—I have several more.' He then stuck out his tongue to reveal two mints.
His caption read: 'Just woke up and feeling…. Mint.' Fans appreciated his humor but suggested he avoid mints during live broadcasts to prevent future misunderstandings.
