50 Cent’s Diddy doc got me thinking: what would be my top 10 musical artists I wouldn’t want beef with? Dead or Alive?
I’ve met 50 Cent three times.
He was full of charisma and a gent. I’m a big fan.

But I’d put him at -
Number 1… 50 Cent
Unrelenting. Dangerous with both a pen and a deal from Netflix.
Number 2… Diddy
See the documentary.
3. Phil Spector
Literal murderer.
A wall of sound and then silence.
4. Frank Sinatra
Mob-adjacent.
5. MC Hammer
I’m serious. Do your research. Or your MC Search.
6.90’s indie band The Farm
I just imagined them in balaclavas outside the house…Sinister.
You can’t do that with all bands. Hanson or Blur, for example.
And if you beef with them, you beef with Liverpool… and no one wants that. I’d take Detroit over Liverpool.
7. Wu-Tang Clan
Wu-Tang Clan ain’t nothin’ to f*** with.
The end.
8. Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift aint nothin’ to f*** with.
9. Beyoncé
I won my fantasy football league last year and thanked Beyoncé… just in case.
10. James Hetfield – Metallica
He’s like rock’s Thanos.

Shout out to NWA, Maxim from The Prodigy, Richard Hawley (Hands like Tortoise shells ™ -Jon McClure), Enya - I mean what’s she doing alone in that castle?! I bet she could summon mist over a battlefield. Lethal Bizzle, Stormzy, Bonehead, Goldie, The Bee Gees when they lived in Manchester* and of course; Keith Duffy.

I will add and subtract from this list over time. But this is where I’m at…

Robbie has also announced plans to move into hospitality and wants to develop a hotel in Dubai

SINGER Robbie Williams has moved to the Bahamas after becoming a property tycoon.

It takes the property empire of Robbie and wife Ayda, 46, to more than £100million after they flipped homes over the past three years.

And the couple and have told pals they intend to carry on. A source close to the star said he will split his time between the Bahamas, Miami and the family’s mansion in West London’s Holland Park.

Robbie, who was born in Stoke-on-Trent, has made the move official in paperwork for three of his firms, including You’re Not Famous LLP, which is the company he uses to manage his concert profits. The company has turned over more than £90million over the past two years. He has also moved firms called RPW Holdings and Williams Godrich to the islands. It follows a short stint living in Switzerland, which he described as a “neurotic” move to get away from the Covid pandemic.

Last year, he bought a waterfront estate in Miami for £30million and has already spent more than £3million on renovations in preparation to sell it for a profit. The interest in property comes after Robbie sold his 25,000sq ft Beverly Hills estate to rapper Drake for £55million in 2022, making more than £30million profit on what he paid for it in 2015. It has been cited as one of the most lucrative celebrity-to-celebrity flips in Hollywood history.

Robbie’s London home was bought for £17.5million in 2013 but is now estimated to be worth £60million.

However, last year he claimed he and Ayda and their four children were practically homeless after selling off many of their properties.

He said: “We’re actually nowhere. We haven’t got an abode right now. We’ve pretty much sold everywhere, we don’t live anywhere, and we’re trying to figure it out.”

Robbie, who has a net worth of around £222million, also fancies a move into hospitality and wants to develop a hotel in Dubai. In 2023, he said: “I’m building a hotel, 700 rooms in Dubai. I built a hotel in my head and I build what it looks like.

“I thought, actually, there’s no residences for artists like me in Dubai.

“And then I thought, ‘ah, that’s interesting, I’m going to do that. I’m going to start that’. So that sort of idea and that level of ambition lights a fire underneath my a**e.\”\

Robbie Williams 'moves to the Bahamas as he expands £100m property empire'

By SEAN O'GRADY, SENIOR SHOWBUSINESS REPORTER

Robbie Williams has reportedly moved to the Bahamas after buying a new eight-figure luxury mansion in the Caribbean archipelago.

The singer, 51, is said to have expanded his property portfolio to over £100million with his latest purchase after he and wife Ayda Field flipped homes for the last three years. A source told The Sun Robbie plans on splitting his time between the Bahamas, Miami and his mansion in London's Holland Park. Robbie has made the change official on paperwork for his three firms which now list the Bahamas as his usual country of residence.

Robbie's firm You're Not Famous LLP which he uses to manage his concert profits has turned over more than £90million in the last two years.

The hitmaker has also moved his other firms Williams Godrich and RPW Holdings to the Bahamas. 

Daily Mail has contacted representatives of Robbie Williams for comment.  

Last August, Robbie was reported to have splashed out on a new £30 million waterfront mansion in Miami. The lavish home boasts seven bedrooms, an 18-car garage, wine cellar and its own dock directly onto the water. In addition to the £30 million price tag he reportedly spent another £4 million on furniture, adjustments and building renovations to make it the perfect family home. It comes after last May he sold his LA mansion for £51.6 million ($65M) - making a handsome £12.3million in just over two years. He hired Miami property developer Manny Angelo Varas to extend and perfect the home.

He told the publication: 'We're doing a ground-up build. He'll be relocating immediately to the existing home, and we're going to be doing new construction, adding between 2,500 and 3,500 square feet.

'We're creating functional spaces that could be used as a recording studio and multiple different functions.

'So he's able to work from home when he's not on tour.'

He bought the home from Real Housewives of Miami star Dr Nicole Martin and husband Anthony Lopez.

Robbie sold his LA home last year. The sale meant the British singer looked to be cutting ties with Hollywood for good after owning a place there for 18 years.

He purchased the huge property, which sits on 1.95 acres, in uber-rich Holmby Hills for £39.3million in March 2022.

The three-house estate featured eight bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, pool and tennis court, plus an impressive garage that holds 15 luxury cars, all spanning over 18,900 sq ft.

Dubbed the 'Funny Girl' Estate, the property was originally constructed in 1938 for the renowned comedian Fanny Brice. 

She was famously played by Barbara Streisand in a Broadway musical based on her life

The starlet, whose life is the subject of semi-biographical musical Funny Girl, lived at the Faring Estate until she died in 1951.

Robbie and his wife Ayda, 46, share four children, Teddy, 11, son Charlie, nine, daughter Coco, five and three-year-old son Beau. Robbie previously said that his kids are a massive factor in deciding where to live because they need to be placed in suitable schools. He explained: 'The four kids are constantly a Rubix Cube puzzle that we're trying to sort out because if they are schooled then they don't see me because I'm all over the place and if they are home-schooled then they have another set of things that are a problem.'

Speaking in 2014, Robbie - then a father of two - admitted he was keen to make the United Kingdom his permanent base after spending an extended period of time in the United States.

He told The Sun: 'I love LA. The people and the weather are great but it's not England. It can't offer the same. Things change when you're a dad - there are people to look after who are more important than yourself.

'I want [daughter] Teddy and the new baby, whatever it may be, to be educated in England. Teddy is already surrounded by English people so she's bound to have an accent anyway.

'But that's not the point - we want to educate her in London. We've just bought a ruddy big house so we had better be coming back!'

Robbie Williams reflects on career-long fight with mental health

Story by Holly Patrick

Exclusive: Robbie Williams’ message of hope after two-decade mental health struggle.jpg© The Independent

Robbie Williams offered advice to struggling singers following the release of his Better Man biopic.

The film, in which Williams is portrayed by an ape, follows the singer’s life from his early days in Stoke-on-Trent to his boyband days in Take That.

The musician told The Independent: “Surround yourself with good people.”

Speaking candidly of his mental health, he added, “It took me nearly a couple of decades to fight through it, and now I’m at the other end and it’s beautiful.”

On Friday (23 January), Williams’ latest album Britpop went to number one – meaning he has broken the previous record set by The Beatles, taking over the Liverpool band with the most official UK number one albums ever, according to the Official Charts Company.

Robbie Williams breaks silence after eclipsing The Beatles to make chart history and reveals why he’s QUIT UK

HE is already one of the most famous men in Britain, with a record 18 Brit Awards and record sales exceeding 80 million.

And today, Robbie Williams has made history once again when his latest album Britpop soared to the top of the charts – meaning he has now surpassed The Beatles to become the act with the most No1 albums in UK history, with a total of 16.

In an exclusive chat after finding out the news, he said: “It’s absolutely insane.

“I’m still trying to take it all in and figure out what it all means.“I can just tell you that I’m glad that it’s happened to me.”

It comes a week after it was revealed he has quit the UK and is now splitting his time between the Bahamas and Miami, having only moved back to London from Los Angeles in 2022.

Revealing why he left the UK, he said of his new life in the sun: “Not going to lie, it’s not s**t. I’m done with bad weather.“

“I was out of the UK for like 24 years and then I was in the UK, and I know what I prefer.

“Unfortunately it goes dark and grey at the end of September. And if you’re lucky, it doesn’t stop being dark and grey until the end of May. “So I’m doing away with that bit and just being in the sunshine. And if you can, why not? Why wouldn’t you?”

And maybe he’ll come back here in the summer?

“Yeah. I mean, everybody’s heading to the Cotswolds, aren’t they? I’d like to do that.”

I’m bigger than the Beatles and Jesus. There you go, there’s your headline.

Robbie Williams

Robbie’s incredible new chart feat was unveiled this afternoon, although neither of the surviving Beatles members Sir Paul McCartney or Ringo Starr had been in touch… yet.

He quipped: “No, but I’m bigger than the Beatles and Jesus. There you go, there’s your headline.

‘I’m a more monster’

“It doesn’t make any sense. The Beatles, the best band to ever exist. They did everything before they split up and then achieved what they achieved with their solo careers and stuff.

Along with explaining why he is quitting the UK – Robbie also revealed he’ll be celebrating with an (expensive) present for wife Ayda Field Credit: Getty

“And here’s this daft [bloke] from Stoke, wandering into the party and claiming some sort of record that overthrows them for five minutes. “In my life and in my mind, I’ll have that mean happiness for me.

“But I also realise that the Beatles are the Beatles. Elvis is Elvis. And I should be stacking some shelves in an Asda in Stoke-on-Trent, so I’m just very, very lucky.” It’s an astonishing feat, having landed his first solo No1 album in 1997 with Life Thru A Lens after leaving Take That – and also scoring seven No1 singles along the way.

Ayda’s coming in tomorrow and a few of the kids are coming in tomorrow too. I guess I’ll be celebrating by buying Ayda a handbag. She doesn’t do cheap handbags.”

Robbie Williams

Joining on a Zoom call from a lavish hotel suite in Paris, he said he will be celebrating there this weekend – and his wife Ayda Field will be reaping the rewards.

He admitted: “Ayda’s coming in tomorrow and a few of the kids are coming in tomorrow too. I guess I’ll be celebrating by buying Ayda a handbag.

“She doesn’t do cheap handbags.” 😂

At only 51, there’s plenty of life in Robbie yet, and I won’t be surprised if he has loads more No1s in the future.

Asked if he has a total he wants to hit, he said: “I think this could be an end to want and need in this particular field…”

But then he conceded: “Oh, who am I kidding?

“I always want more. I’ve got a more problem. I’m a more monster. The hole is unfillable. So, yeah, f**k, scrap everything I’ve just said. I want more.”

And he is relishing the success.

On whether he knows where his other No1 awards are, he panned the camera over to a table featuring all 16.

“Why would I?” he chuckled.

“They’re coming everywhere with me now.

“There’s nothing in my house that would suggest I am me and I do what I do for a living.

“Those should be somewhere. Maybe in the garage where I could, if I’m just showing people around, go, ‘Oh, yeah, those. Oh, who put those there?’”

During the chat, he also let slip that he has “five albums ready to go”, so there will be more music to come in the next few years.

He explained: “They’re all demos right now. But I don’t think I will be writing, I don’t think I have to write for a long time. I’ve already done it all. There’s a vault full of stuff.”

But self-deprecating as always, he added: “Whether great swathes of the general public will want it from me, who knows and who cares? But I’ve got stuff to deliver.”

Robbie Williams and Ayda Field enjoy a night out in Paris during Haute Couture Fashion Week after singer admitted he's been an 'absent parent' to their four children

By JADA BAS, TRAINEE REPORTER

Published: 11:26, 28 January 2026

Robbie Williams and his wife Ayda Field enjoyed a night out in Paris on Tuesday after arriving in the French capital for Haute Couture Fashion Week.  Ayda, 46, caught the eye in an oversized black knit cardigan, white shirt and dark wash jeans while venturing out alongside her husband.

Former Take That star Robbie, 51, opted for a beige trench coat and loose fitting white jeans, teamed with Timberland boots and distinctively framed glasses. 

The father-of-four admitted in a recent interview that the success of his career has made him an 'absent parent' after spending five months on a world tour. 

Robbie's BRITPOP tour kicked off in Edinburgh on May 31 and saw him travel to the likes of Ireland, France, Germany, Spain, Italy and Sweden.

It concluded in October, but the tour meant he sacrificed spending quality time with his children, Teddy, 12, Charlie, ten, Coco, seven, and Beau, five, as he told the Mirror: 'This tour, in particular, I've been an absent parent.'

The former Take That member also praised his wife, who he married in 2010 and paid tribute to in Pretty Face, the lead single from BRITPOP. He said: 'When I sing it, I think about my wife. And I'm a big fan of marriage. I understand why people do it now. I didn't understand, coming from a broken home.

'But marriage has actually made me the man that I am. So, you know, the lyrics in that song are true. She's turned a boy into a man.'

Robbie is set to go on the road once again for his Long 90s UK tour next month, where he will play in Glasgow, Liverpool, London and Wolverhampton.

The singer recently surprised fans by releasing his new album BRITPOP three weeks earlier than planned.

The unexpected drop came in the early

Originally due to be released in October, BRITPOP was pushed back to February, to avoid a clash with Taylor Swift's Life Of A Showgirl, with Robbie admitting that he 'couldn't compete' with the American star.

It was clearly a smart move for Robbie, as the new release made Official Albums Chart history on Friday as he surpassed The Beatles to become the artist with the most UK Number One albums of all time.

The singer scored his 16th chart-topping LP with the album overtaking John, Paul, George and Ringo to claim more Number One albums than any other artist in UK chart history.

The singer's 13th studio album sees him leaning heavily into guitar-driven sounds inspired by the era that shaped his early solo ambitions.

Speaking about the milestone, Robbie said: 'BRITPOP is the record I've always wanted to make, and seeing it become my 16th Number 1 album means everything to me.

'Thank you to all the fans who have been with me every step of the way. You've made my dreams come true.'

Robbie Williams: British people are good at devaluing ourselves

6 hours ago

Charlotte Gallagher

After more than three decades in entertainment, Robbie Williams is back on the road and ready to celebrate.

His new album, Britpop, is his 16th number one, breaking the previous record set by the Beatles.

The singer, whose Long 90s tour begins this week, is taking a moment to mark his achievement.

"I think as British people we're very good at piercing the balloon of our own success and undercutting it and devaluing ourselves," he tells BBC News. "It's what we do best. In many ways it's why we're great.

"But with this one, I really want to let it sink in and I really want to stand in the middle of it and go, 'OK, success, do your thing to me'."

The tour will take in smaller venues, the kind he would have played at the start of his solo stardom.

The 51-year-old says Britpop is the album he wanted to make when he first left Take That.

It sees him collaborate with former bandmate Gary Barlow, Gaz Coombes from Supergrass and Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi.

But he looks back at the Britpop era with mixed feelings - he experienced professional huge success, but was also deeply depressed.

Robbie pictured with Liam Gallagher at Glastonbury in 1995, at the height of Britpop

He recalls: "I was going through my own mental illness and anything good that's happening to somebody that is in the throes of depression... they can't experience joy and there were lots of incredible things happening and I couldn't experience joy from any of it.

"But now I look back at it and think, what a decade. The last great decade for popular culture because everything since then has become quite vanilla.

"You don't know 2007 from 2023, but you know the '50s, you know the '60s, you know the '70s you know the '80s and you know the '90s and so I look back and with a wry smile and say that the '90s was an amazing time to have a bad time."

Robbie has spoken openly about suffering from stage fright in the past, experiencing terror before walking on stage.

He tells me that everything "clicked into place" for him when his first child, daughter Theodora, known as Teddy, who was born in 2012.

"The world started to make sense because I'd been running away from responsibility and I should have been running towards it.

"And when things stopped being about me and started to become about precious souls, I started to realise I've got the best job in the world."

Williams says he also feels much happier being back in the UK, after a torrid experience with the British press, particularly in the early stages of his solo career.

"I think that everybody knows, because we've seen it countless times, that if you are on the crest of a wave, the media comes to bring you down and attack you and malign you at every opportunity they can. And that is heavy and brings its own problems.

"But that was then, I'm in a different place now," he continues. "I'm left alone just to put my songs out and be married.

"There isn't anybody at my door trying to get pictures of me 24 hours a day or trying to pop microphones and bug my house or trying to hack my phone. There isn't any of that stuff that's happening anymore. This is what I thought it would be like when I set out on my journey when I was 16, I'm having an amazing time."

Williams, pictured with the BBC's Charlotte Gallagher, says he's glad social media was not around earlier in his career

One thing the singer did not have deal with back then was social media, and he tells me he thinks it would have "seen him off".

"I get way too invested in finding the negative things, everybody does," he says. "I wonder if there's something wired in us where we go, ‘let's find the problem, let's find a threat and then we'll negate the threat’."

Then, of course, there is the eternal question, will Robbie ever rejoin Take That? The band that launched his career.

The group currently consists of three members - Gary Barlow, Mark Own and Howard Donald - and a recent Netflix documentary examined the group's success.

Williams has spoken of them "riding again" and says he "absolutely loved" the documentary, adding that he had "overwhelming feeling of how much I love the boys".

Take That were recently the subject of a Netflix documentary, which examined their success

On February 13 it will be 30 years since Take That split (the first time), it's also Robbie's birthday.

So what was he doing that day in 1996? "Buying a Scalextric from Harrods," he laughs. Not the rock'n'roll answer I expected.

After breaking a record held by The Beatles and winning more Brit Awards than anyone else, I ask Robbie what he wants to do next.

"I want to build hotels with my own venues in and then I want to play my own hotels," he replies.

"I want to do a university of entertainment and I've got the syllabus in my mind and it would be a great revenge on education for somebody that never left that left school with nothing higher than a D to go in and revolutionise education."

Sign us up for the university of Robbie Williams.

Britpop by Robbie Williams is out now. The Long 90s tour began earlier this week.

ROBBIE WILLIAMS is all too familiar with the pitfalls of global fame, having once been as well-known for his wild antics as his music.

But now he’s turning some of his lowest moments into a positive — by guiding Yungblud in a bid to stop him going off the rails.

I can reveal that Robbie has taken on the role of mentoring the rising star.

Doncaster-born Yungblud’s career has skyrocketed since his tribute last year to rocker Ozzy Osbourne at Birmingham’s Back To The Beginning concert in July, ­followed by the MTV VMAs in New York after Ozzy’s death last July.

Robbie, who previously reached out to Lewis Capaldi with an offer of support, clocked that Yungblud was being catapulted to super-stardom and got in touch to give him guidance — and now the pair exchange messages regularly.

In an exclusive chat, Yungblud said of his close bond with the Rock DJ singer: “I feel really lucky to have him in my life. I love him. He wrote me a letter when this kind of thing just clicked last year, and it really went to a different place. I feel really lucky that I have peers looking out for me from afar, going, ‘This has just entered a new hemisphere’.”

Explaining how the letter was far more than simply warm words, Yungblud added: “He wrote me a letter about how he dealt with it [fame], and the fact that we’re both quite polarising figures.

“It’s so nice to have a supportive ­figure like that, who’s obviously a f***ing icon, do you know what I mean?”

Yungblud this month cemented himself as one of the UK’s most promising acts after winning his first Grammy award.

In a full-circle moment, the singer lifted the gong for Best Rock Performance for his cover of Black Sabbath’s track Changes at Ozzy’s farewell show.
