Art And Truth Matter More As Pharrell Williams Slams Politics As Fake

Pharrell Williams has reiterated his reluctance to engage with politics, emphasizing his desire to remain neutral. Speaking at the fifth annual Black Ambition Demo Day, the acclaimed singer, songwriter, and producer candidly stated, “I hate politics... It’s a magic trick. It’s not real." He expressed skepticism regarding alignment with any political side, stating that choosing a side fosters division. Williams conveyed that his focus should be on merit rather than race in business support. He posed a thought-provoking question to those present: “Do you want the job because you’re black or because you’re the best?” He stressed the importance of supporting enterprises based on their excellence rather than their racial background.This perspective isn’t new for Williams; he expressed similar sentiments last year, highlighting his frustration with celebrity political endorsements and underscoring his commitment to action over mere dialogue.
