Robin Thicke admits he LIED

It seems Robin Thicke has had a bit of explaining to do.

The Hollywood Reporter have released a shocking deposition following a lawsuit filed by Robin and Pharrell Williams defending claims they ripped off Marvin Gaye's 1977 classic Got To Give It Up to create their controversial summer smash Blurred Lines.

Yet more interestingly, in providing statements to prove that their song does not borrow from the Marvin Gaye hit, Robin has been forced to admit that he lied about writing it along with the talented Happy hitmaker Pharrell in the first place.

Robin previously told GQ Magazine that he and Pharrell had 'literally wrote the song in about a half hour and recorded it' as well as stating that they were inspired by the Marvin Gaye track in question.

But speaking under oath in the deposition, Robin now admits that he wasn't as involved in the songwriting as he claimed, and was actually 'high on Vicodin and alcohol' when Pharrell was hard at work writing it in the studio. 

'I was jealous and I wanted some of the credit... I tried to take credit for it later because [Williams] wrote the whole thing pretty much by himself and I was envious of that,' Robin revealed.

Asked where he was when the song was being created by Pharrell, Robin added: 'To be honest, that's the only part where — I was high on Vicodin and alcohol when I showed up at the studio.'

'So my recollection is when we made the song, I thought I wanted — I  — I wanted to be more involved than I actually was by the time, nine months later, it became a huge hit and I wanted credit.'

'So I started kind of convincing myself that I was a little more part of it than I was and I — because I didn't want him — I wanted some credit for this big hit.'

'But the reality is, is that Pharrell had the beat and he wrote almost every single part of the song.'

He also added that he was just 'lucky to be in a room with Pharrell' and that he made up the ridiculous story as he thought it would help sell more records.

Still, he was awarded 18-22 percent of the publishing royalities, despite his lack of input to the track.

If the lawsuit wasn't bad enough, the song has already been heavily criticised by critics slamming the song for its misogynistic lyrics.

Earlier this year, A Boston University student group demanded their school to cancel a Robin Thicke concert, complaining that the lyrics to the singer’s 2013 smash Blurred Lines are sexist.

More than 1,600 people signed an online petition started by members of Humanists of Boston University to get Thicke’s March 4 date at the school’s Agganis Arena cancelled.

‘Thicke’s hit song, Blurred Lines, celebrates having sex with women against their will,’ the group’s petition at change.org stated. 

Robin's personal life also came under the spotlight this year after splitting from his wife Paula Patton.

His most recent album - an apology to his wife, after his rumoured flirtation with other women - flopped on the Billboard charts.
