Robbie Williams jokes his World Cup mic moment away with mint, not cocaine

Robbie Williams dismissed online claims that cocaine fell from his face onto a microphone during a World Cup TV interview, saying the white object seen in clips wasn’t drugs. He later addressed the moment in an Instagram video, joking that he had “several more” and briefly revealing two mints, before poking fun at the speculation. Williams has long spoken about sobriety, saying he hasn’t drunk alcohol in 25 years, and the piece places the moment in the context of his World Cup performances and ongoing music career.
