Robin Thicke's son refused to let his dad record one of the songs he wrote
The 47-year-old singer's 14-year-old son Julian - whose mother is 48-year-old actress Paula Patton - has followed in his father's footsteps and is making his own music now, but he doesn't want his dad to cramp his style.
Speaking on V-103’s 'Big Trigger Morning Show', Robin said: “He's got the gift. He's got a great voice [and] head on his shoulders. Recently, he got back into some songwriting … He wrote a song and played it for me. The funny thing is I [say,] ‘Man, I really love this new song you wrote. Would you mind if I did a version? I think it'd be really cool if I sang a version of your song,’ and he's like, ‘But it's my song.’ I’m like, ‘Okay. I like the swag already’."
The ‘Blurred Lines’ hitmaker - who also has three young children with 29-year-old fiancee April Love Geary - might not be getting involved in Julian's music anytime soon, but he is fully supportive and is encouraging him to "keep going".
He added: “If [Julian] asked me for advice, which lately he doesn't really even want to, I think he [would] want me to support and praise [him.] So, he wrote a great song and I just praised the heck out of it and told him how proud I am and told him to keep going [and] pushing, and that way he can become his own artist on his own time.”
Robin previously praised his eldest child as a "natural singer".
Appearing on 'The Jennifer Hudson Show' in 2022, he said: "He's a natural singer and he just got a lead part in the middle school play."
