Robbie Williams has been the subject of online discourse since the release of his biopic, Better Man on Christmas Day.
Despite him having massive success on his home turf -- this includes 14 No. 1 albums as well as 18 BRIT Awards and a net worth of $187,000,000 -- he was never able to crack the American music market despite an appearance for a surprise rendition of "Angels" on Taylor Swift's Reputation tour.
Now, the Americans and the Brits are having an online war after British fans cannot believe Americas do not know who the singer is.
One TikTok user shared what they think Williams' music sounds like, and the sound they used included an audio where the person sings about how they are rectangular.

Another TikTok called Williams a one-hit wonder in the United States and used his song "Candy" as an example.
@gingerpeach94 Like you had to use that dumb Rock DJ song? and angels? when this one is right at your fingertips? #robbiewilliams This is the only song we know by him

Others simply reacted to the news.
