Pharrell Williams Covers April Edition Of GQ Magazine



The world is buzzing aboutPharrell Williams.He covers April Issue of GQ magazine.In recent weeks, the album cover for his latest effort, G I R L  has faced a bit of criticisms from black women who were disappointed to see that a black girl was not featured on the cover. He clears the air in this interview for all those up in arms:

“It’s insecurity. You can be anything that you want to be, and what I chose to do is put my friends on the cover. The girl that was closest next to me is black, but they didn’t know that, so they jumped the gun. And it’s like: ‘Yo, you don’t need nobody to represent you. You represent you. You represent the best version of who you could be. You go out there and change the world.’ Because I’m black, and I wouldn’t trade my skin color for nothing. But I don’t need to keep wearing a badge that tells you that I’m black every time I do something! I’m black! My mother’s black, who’s a big part of my business; a black woman runs my business; and I’m married to a black woman. What more do you want?”
The forty year old singer and songwriter also added:
"It doesn't make sense to me. That kind of divisiveness is not necessary at a time when we're supposed to be unifying. That's what happiness is all about, and if you look at my 'Happy' video, I had everybody in there: fat, skinny, gay, straight, purple, polka-dot, plaid, gingham print, houndstooth, alien".
