\n\tIn an Instagram video posted Monday (July 20), the star lies shirtless in bed, filming himself. He begins by telling the camera sarcastically, \u201cI\u2019d just like to apologize for the object that fell onto the microphone yesterday.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt was deeply unprofessional, and people worried about me,\u201d he continues in the clip. \u201cBut it\u2019s OK, because I had several more, too.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAt that, Williams opens his mouth to show two breath mints on his tongue, confirming that what people saw on TV the day prior had been nothing more than candy.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe clarification comes after an outpouring of posts online about the moment Williams \u2014 who performed during the World Cup\u2019s closing ceremony on Sunday (July 19) following Spain\u2019s victory over Argentina at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey \u2014 joined Magenta TV for an interview at the event. As he spoke, a small fleck of white fell out of his mouth and onto the top of his microphone, after which he removed it with his fingers. When he reached up to scratch his head moments later, the substance ended up visibly stuck to his forehead.<\/p>\n

\n\tMany people on social media posted snippets of the moment and questioned what the white material was, with some claiming that it had fallen out of his nose instead of his mouth. Williams has been open in the past about his prior substance abuse issues, which flared at the height of his fame with former boy band Take That.<\/p>\n
