Fans were shocked to hear that Robbie Williams would stay away from Twitter (Now known as X) as it would “ruin (his) career”, according to him.
In a recent interview with The Guardian, Robbie Williams shared his desire to stay away from X. The comedian Joe Lycett, who was also part of the interview, seemed shocked when Williams said this.
The 50-year-old singer discussed his venture into art as well. When the conversation about social media began, he said, “No, I’m not on Twitter. It would ruin my career.” He recalled an incident on the platform he faced, “The last time I was on it, I did a tweet that said: ‘I quite fancy getting into shoplifting. Has anyone got any good suggestions for shoplifting?’
“The person who runs Gail’s, the bakery, said: ‘This is awful, this is a pop star who lives in a bubble. How dare he?” He added, “I saw the backlash, and I was like ‘I don’t think Twitter is for me’. I got my fingers burned.”
