Robin Thicke hosted a private dinner last week to commemorate the 20th anniversary of his debut album, A Beautiful World. The full release that first introduced us to this soulful, genre-defying artist was released on April 15, 2003. The album featured the number-one singles “When I Get You Alone” and “Shooter” with Lil Wayne, launching Thicke’s long-lasting musical career.
Along with members of his management team from Roc Nation, Robin arrived with his fiance April Love Geary. He was joined by his close friends Richie Akiva, Gianni Harrell, the son of his late mentor Andre Harrell, and others.
Robin delivered a toast to his fiance and the attendees to mark the occasion of the night, which was sponsored by Dusse, and he reflected on his early career highlights since the release of A Beautiful World.

The Real Husbands of Hollywood returns to BET+ after a nearly 6-year hiatus since the premiere of its fifth season. The original cast Kevin Hart, Boris Kodjoe, Duane Martin, JB Smoove, Nelly, Nick Cannon, Robin Thicke, and more, reunite for a six-part limited series.
This season, similar to the past, is filled with celebrity guest appearances that have no issue stepping into the comedic landscape to serve the audience.
“I think Duane said it best,” says Boris Kodjoe. “We never said goodbye.”
Wayne Stamps, the series’ showrunner for season 6, says the timing of the revival could not have come at a better time.
“I just feel like now is the perfect time because people just need to laugh…. to relieve pressure and stress. There’s no show better that’s doing that than this.”
This season, similar to the past, is filled with celebrity guest appearances that have no issue stepping into the comedic landscape to serve the audience.
This revival is titled: ‘The Real Husbands of Hollywood – More Kevin, More Problem.
“The impetus for this season started with our conversation with Kevin. We asked him, ‘how are you doing all of this with so much going on in your life’” says Stamps. “Kevin does a great job of exaggerating his life on screen as well, which is a big help.”
Stamp credits the writing staff for building each episode with a comedic cliff-hanging sequence as “each episode gets more funny.”
Hart, who hilariously teased the show nearly a decade ago while hosting the 2012 BET Awards, is more booked and busy than ever. Hart is cloned to physically fulfill his personal and professional commitments with a jam-packed schedule.
What may have seemed like a good idea takes an unexpected turn that Kevin and the guys do their best to get control of? The guys are pulled into Kevin’s cloned chaos but have a dramady of their own.
“The best thing about this show is we all get made fun of equally,” says Robin Thicke.
Catch Kevin and the Hollywood Husbands exclusively now BET+.

Model Emily Ratajkowski [[ Rata-cow-ski ]] is reportedly accusing singer Robin Thicke of groping her.
USA Today reported that the model made the accusation in an exclusive excerpt of her upcoming book “My Body.”
She was one of two models who were topless in the music video for Thicke’s 2013 single “Blurred Lines.” Ratajkowski describes her shock in the moment. Also on set were Pharrell Williams and T.I..
In an excerpt, while on set, she says she felt the “coolness and foreignness of a stranger’s hands cupping” her “bare breasts” and when she turned around she was looking at Thicke.
The music video’s director, Diane Martel said she offered to stop the shoot then and there, but Ratajkowski said they could go on.
Ratajkowski, 30, alleges that the incident occurred when Thicke, 44, returned to the set “a little drunk.”
Neither party has acknowledged the allegations on social media.

Lil Wayne is rock star, but for his debut on Fox’s hit show The Masked Singer, he chose to perform the hit song of an even bigger one.
On Sunday (Feb. 2), the fourth season of The Masked Singer kicked off and while many were trying to figure out who some of the contestants are under those costumes, it was one that stood out immediately and that was the robot—who happened to be Lil’ Wayne.
“I did it for my kids,” Wayne said in his first Masked Singer interview sans mask. “Unexpected joy.”
Singing Lenny Kravitz’s 1993 hit “Are You Gonna Go My Way”, fans knew instantly that the robot character was none other than Mr. Carter’s but the judges seemed to be completely in the dark. From Shaun White, Johnny Knoxville and Steve-O to Flavor Flav, or Floyd Mayweather; the judges, which included Lil’ Wayne collaborator Robin Thicke, were seemingly lost on who was behind the mask.
Ultimately, Lil Wayne was the first to be voted off but his appearance definitely helped kick off the show’s new season. During his post interview Weezy revealed that although he had fun, the show was nothing like what he’s ever experienced before as a performer.
“I always hear everybody that does the show always talk about being how it is being behind the mask and all that,” Wayne said. “And how they feel by not being seen and having to go throughout a few days or whatever being, you know, all that stuff. I didn’t get that feeling. Only thing I felt under the mask was, like, it was heavy. It was all good but I still didn’t understand being behind the mask and feeling something different. I didn’t get that feeling.”
Wayne added that doing the show was “unlike any experience I’ve ever had musically,” noting that he’s “never done choreography” in his life.

Pharrell Williams and Robin Thicke‘s “Blurred Lines” hit has sparked a flurry of legal back and forth between the artists and the estate of Marvin Gaye. The pair were ordered to pay $5 million to the late R&B legend’s estate over of one of his most popular dance tunes.
CNN reports:
The pair had been accused of copyright infringement for their 2013 single because of the similarities to Gaye’s 1977 hit “Got to Give It Up.”
Gaye died in 1984 after being shot to death by his father, Marvin Gay Sr. (the singer added the “e” to create his stage name).
Thicke and Williams were ordered in 2015 to pay Gaye’s estate more than $7 million, but that judgment was reduced to $5.3 million and the pair appealed the verdict.
In the recent judgment from U.S. District Judge John A. Kronstadt in California, Thicke, Williams and Williams’ More Water From Nazareth Publishing are jointly required to pay Gaye’s family damages of nearly $2.9 million.
The outlet adds that Thicke was ordered to hand over $1.7 million and Williams, by way of his publishing company, will have to pay $357,631 to the estate.

Robin Thicke and Pharrell Williams were ordered to pay $5 million to Marvin Gaye’s family for the copyright of Thicke’s 2013 hit single, “Blurred Lines,” after a 5-year legal battle.
The songwriters were accused of copyright infringement due to the song’s similarities to Gaye’s 1977 hit, “Got To Give It Up.” The pair were ordered to pay $7 million in 2015, but it was reduced to $5.3 million after they appealed.
In March, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the verdict which cleared T.I., who was also featured on the song, and Interscope Records, which is the label it was released under.
Thicke, Williams and Williams’ distributing company were required to pay the estate’s damages of almost $2.9 million. Thicke additionally was arranged to pay more than $1.7 million and Williams and his distributing company must pay $357,631 to Gaye’s home. Gaye’s family will likewise get pre-judgment enthusiasm on the harms and 50% of the royalties from “Blurred Lines.”
