Robbie Williams upsets Russians with his new song, “Party Like A Russian.” The song is his first single from his 11th studio album, Heavy Entertainement Show. The video to his latest song has had 5 million views and even bragged about it on Twitter.

While the video to his song has made million of views, Russians on the other hand feel different about it. Well for starters, it might be because of his fake Russian accent in the video.

Robbie Williams Upsets Russians With New Song

Another probable reason would be the lyrics of his song, which is made obvious in its title alone. He says, “Aint not refutin’ or disputin’ I’m a modern Rasputin, subcontract disputes to some brutes in Louboutin act highfalutin’ while my boys put the boots in.” He further talks about a man who takes cash from the whole nation to build his own space station. According to BBC, Robbie Williams said he wasn’t pertaining to Vladimir Putin in anyway. He also said he does not want to offend 147 million people in Russia and further said he doesn’t know what kind of humor they have. He went on to say, “”I’m not making fun of anybody but I had to take a few things out just to make it more PC [politically correct] – and this is the PC version you’re getting.”

According to CNN, a member of the National Association of Event Organizers, Sergey Knyazev, told Life News that this will upset event organizers everywhere and further says,”None of these people, big corporations or individuals who want him at their event, want to end up as the butt of this joke. It is a joke about ‘new Russians’.”
