We just saw Robin Thicke’s return to the stage earlier this week at the Remy Martin party in NYC. The soulful crooner flew back to LA and rocked for his friend Pharrell at the launch of the hip-hop mogul’s Qream liqueur last night in Beverly Hills. Performing in the garden of a multi-million-dollar mansion overlooking the city, the smooth operator had the ladies swooning with his hits including “Lost Without U,” “Wanna Love You Girl,” “Shooter,” and “I Need Love,” as they sipped on Pharrell’s creamy concoction.

Following an intro from Skateboard P, the R&B crooner opened with “Magic.” He delved into a Nicki Minaj-less version of “Shakin’ It 4 Daddy,” covered Al Green’s classic “Let’s Stay Together,” and didn’t leave without spitting bars to Lil Wayne’s “A Milli.”

“What’s a goon to a Robin?” he asked after channeling Weezy.
