Robbie Williams Speaks Out After Getting Accused Of Using Cocaine At World Cup Final After Viral Video!

So about that mysterious white substance that fell from Robbie Williams‘ face during the 2026 World Cup Final? The singer swears it’s not what it seems!

During a live interview at the championship game between Spain and Argentina in East Rutherford, New Jersey, on Sunday, Robbie sparked a lot of chatter online after fans noticed something white fell from his face and onto his microphone.

The Take That member didn’t hesitate for a second and picked up the white substance from the mic while continuing with the interview. Robbie wasn’t in the clear, though! He then scratched his head with the same hand, so the white substance ended up on his forehead! Watch (below):

Social media users soon began to speculate that the white substance on Robbie, who had struggled with alcohol and substance addiction in the past, had been cocaine. But now he’s saying fans are wrong! It’s actually a mint, according to the 52-year-old musician! Robbie poked fun at the rumors in a video posted to Instagram on Monday, saying:

“Just like to apologize for the object that fell onto the microphone yesterday. It was deeply unprofessional, and people worried about me. But it’s OK because I have several more.”

Robbie then laughed and stuck out his tongue to reveal two mints. Ha! He also captioned the post:

“Just woke up and feeling…. Mint”

Maybe next time, ditch the mints during a live interview to avoid another situation like this one! LOLz! Ch-ch-check out the response clip (below):
