Robin Thicke's son Julian Thicke refused to let his dad record one of his songs

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."
