The moment took place on Saturday night (June 7) during the latest show on Williams’ ‘BRITPOP’ UK tour, days after the pop singer had shared a video of himself rapping over the beat to ‘Can’t Touch This’, the new track from Lethal Bizzle, Wiley and Scorcher.

Midway through his set, Williams invited the three rappers onstage to perform a live rendition of the song, much to the surprise of fans.

“Robbie Williams spraying bars on a tune with Lethal B, Wiley and Scorcher is something 😂😂 what a timeeee!,” one wrote, while another added: “Nah Robbie Williams bought out wiley and lethal bizzle at his show 😂😂 2025 is wild”

Check out the footage, as well as Williams’ freestyle and some fan reactions, below.

Wiley’s appearance follows a period of controversy, after the London MC faced backlash after making anti-Semitic comments on Twitter in 2020, going on a rant about the music industry, Israel and Jewish people. “A record deal is not to benefit you it’s to make the person who gave you the advance rich as hell while you take 17 or 18 per cent of net profit after costs,” he wrote.

“If you work for a company owned by 2 Jewish men and you challenge the Jewish community in anyway of course you will get fired… In fact there are 2 sets of people who nobody has really wanted to challenge #Jewish & #KKK but being in business for 20 years you start to understand why.”

The comments led to his eventual suspension from social media sites, and the rapper being dropped by his management company and stripped of his MBE for “bringing [the] honours system into disrepute”.

Meanwhile, Williams is preparing to release his first studio album in almost a decade, also titled ‘BRITPOP’, in the autumn (pre-order here), and has previewed it with the single ‘Rocket’, which was released last month and features guitars from Black Sabbath’s Tony Iommi.

So far, the ‘BRITPOP’ tour has seen Five play live together for the first time in 25 years as surprise guests, and Lulu appear for a version of ‘Relight My Fire’, the track she famously recorded with Take That in 1993.

Williams is continuing the ‘BRITPOP’ UK tour over the coming weeks, and you can find any remaining tickets here.

Robbie recently spoke to NME at the Ivor Novello Awards, where he picked up the Icon Award. Reflecting on whether ‘BRITPOP’ will recapture the hedonism of the ‘90s, he said: “If hedonism is Jaffa Cake-based or Cadbury’s Fruit And Nut, then I’m in. Everything else I’ve got to park until I die. If I don’t park it, it’ll kill me.”

Elaborating on his guitar-heavy new sound, he continued: “I was playing it safe and I’ve not been driving my own car. I’ve not had my hands on the wheel through second-thinking myself and guessing what people like. I just wanted to do something that I like.”
