Wait.... are we framing Robbie Williams for killing Tupac? A drugs deal that went south? Because I'm totally in for this.

[–] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 9 points 6 months ago (2 children)

What if Tupac had a huge unpaid tax bill, killed Robbie and has been wearing his skin ever since?

What do you mean 'What if...'?

Is this another one of those things that's common knowledge and I didn't know about it?

[–] j4yt33@feddit.org 1 points 6 months ago

I mean I knew that...

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 months ago

I think that's a Jordan Peele movie.

Don't we know that Diddie killed Tupac in between raping young girls?

I don't understand. I know a Robin Williams, but not a robbie.

I'm out of the loop here, also terrible at celebrity names anyways.

Massive in the UK from 90s to 00s

Comparable record sales to Tupac / Nirvana / Oasis

Robbie Williams is famous in the UK, ever since the mid-90's. He was a member of a very popular boy band called Take That and has produced several smash hit songs like Angels and Rock DJ amongst others.

So it's pretty funny to identify him by some film when he's known for things that are way more known.

Way more than just the UK that lad was a worldwide icon at some point. Maybe he just wasn't that big in the US comparatively?

That film must be extra confusing to Americans.

[–] Diddlydee@feddit.uk 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

To the several thousand who watched it. Absolute turkey.

Monkeys aren't turkeys! Quit messing with my head!
