Robin Thicke was mocked by Twitter users during a fan Q&A.
The
singer came under fire from social media users when he gave people the
opportunity to ask him questions about his new album "Paula" using the
hashtag #AskThicke.
Things took a turn for the worse
during the VH1-hosted session when users blasted him for the sexist and
misogynistic lyrics in his hit "Blurred Lines" track.
One
joker wrote, "Why would I need to #AskThicke? I know he wants it,"
while another scornfully asked, "What form of sexual or emotional abuse
will you be normalising in your next jaunty hit? #AskThicke."
TORRENT OF ABUSE
Another pun-loving fan posted: "#AskThicke Why are you such a pallid boob of a man? Never mind. I know, you wan tit."
The
questions ranged from the downright rude and aggressive, criticising
everything from his "greasy" appearance to his actions towards his
estranged wife Paula Patton — who he split from last year amidst rumours he had cheated on her — to altogether random queries.
One person asked: "#AskThicke Why can't I open Gmail in Chrome? — getting a proxy server connection error."
Despite the torrent of abuse, Robin refused to rise to the bait and attempted to answer the questions rationally.
He
replied, "What controversy? Hahaha" and "I'm a big boy. I can handle
it," when asked about how harsh some of the questions had been.
Elsewhere,
he revealed his biggest musical inspiration is The Beatles and "Lock
The Door" is his favourite track from his new album
