\tRobbie Williams<\/a> says he won\u2019t sue Olivia Rodrigo<\/a> after some fans claimed her holiday track \u201cTake Me Home (4 Christmas) sounds like his song \u201cCandy,\u201d and that he thinks such lawsuits are \u201cdisgusting\u201d and \u201ccomplete bollocks.\u201d<\/p>\n \tSocial media users have heavily speculated that Olivia\u2019s Christmas song, released Nov. 5<\/a>, somehow ripped off Robbie\u2019s 2012 hit. But in a lengthy Instagram post<\/a> Monday (Nov. 9), Williams defended the \u201cGood 4 U\u201d singer, called her \u201cf\u2013king brilliant\u201d and blasted the idea that he might sue her. \t<\/p>\n \t\u201cIt sounds to me as though she may have accidentally stumbled across a musical echo of mine in one of her new songs. And do you know what? I couldn\u2019t care less,\u201d Williams said. \u201cI\u2019m not going after her. Because I think at some point, some f\u2013king sanity has to prevail.\u201d<\/p>\n \tThe British singer went even further, broadly criticizing the rush to accuse pop artists of copying earlier songs.<\/p>\n
