Robin Thicke has spoken out about being 'twerked upon' by Miley Cyrus during their controversial VMA performance earlier this year, claiming he was pretty much used as a sexual prop by the 'Wrecking Ball' star.

Speaking to chat show queen Oprah Winfrey this week, the 'Blurred Lines' singer said he was 'singing his butt off' and 'not really paying attention' during the now-infamous performance of his hit 'Blurred Lines' at the awards.

“Well, I was onstage, (so) I didn’t see it,” Thicke said. “So to me, I’m walking out toward Miley, I’m not thinking sex, I’m thinking fun. …I’m singing my butt off.

"I’m singing and I’m looking at the sky and I’m singing and I’m not really paying attention to all that. That’s on her."

The performance, in which Cyrus 'twerked' upon Thicke with a series of sexually provocative moves in flesh-coloured bikini top and clothes became an internet sensation and drew an overwhelming backlash of complaints. 

However, the 36-year-old singer, who is married with a young son, said he isn't a regular 'twerker' himself, and pretty much went along with the performance.

“People ask me if I twerk, and I’m like, 'listen, I’m the twerkee. I don’t twerk, I’m just twerked upon',” he said.
