Los Angeles, California - Robbie Williams slammed the idea that he's feuding with Olivia Rodrigo over her holiday track, Take Me Home (4 Christmas)!
The 23-year-old's new holiday hit has caused controversy once again, and this time the British singer's 2012 single, Candy, has been dragged into the chat.
After social media users alleged that the songs are suspiciously similar, things escalated when Williams posted a seemingly shady tweet that read, "Happy Christmas @oliviarodrigo x."
But in a lengthy Instagram post on Sunday, the Millennium hitmaker addressed the "similarities" but still slammed the plagiarism accusations as "complete bullocks."
Williams emphasized that he "loves" Olivia and praised her as "f**king brilliant" while insisting that he "isn't going after her" – though he jokingly called out her swearing so much.
He continued, "Artists deserve to be protected. But there's a difference between protecting your work and treating every vaguely familiar sequence of notes as a winning lottery ticket. Some of this stuff has become ambulance chasing."
The 52-year-old added, "And I think it's disgusting."
Fans previously likened Olivia's song to The Waitresses' 1981 holiday classic, Christmas Wrapping, though the matter was clarified by guitarist Chris Butler.
The Vampire artist faced previous issues with Taylor Swift over Olivia's debut SOUR album when she was accused of plagiarizing Cruel Summer.
