Pharrell Williams slams celebrities over public political endorsements
American singer and songwriter Pharrell Williams has slammed American celebrities for publicly endorsing political candidates in the lead-up to the presidential election.
Williams revealed that he is apolitical and finds it frustrating when his colleagues make public political endorsements.
“I don’t do politics. In fact, I get annoyed sometimes when I see celebrities trying to tell you [who to vote for],” he said in an interview with The Hollywood Reporter.
Further into the conversation, the producer mentioned that the majority of celebrities endorsing candidates for the election did so without being asked.
“There are celebrities that I respect that have an opinion, but not all of them. I’m one of them people [who says], ‘What the heck? Shut up. Nobody asked you’,” he said.
RAB reports that a cross-section of American celebrities including Taylor Swift, Megan Thee Stallion, Billie Eilish, and a host of others have publicly endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris.
Conversely, former President Donald Trump has garnered endorsements from notable figures such as billionaire Elon Musk and Blac Chyna among others.
