Multimillionaire musician Pharrell Williams has sparked controversy with his comments on politics, stating that he 'despises' the system and believes it's 'not real.' In a recent speech at the 5th annual Black Ambition Demo Day in Miami-Dade County, Williams claimed that he doesn't 'believe in either side' because picking one would 'inadvertently support division.' He also questioned whether people support businesses based on merit or due to the owner's skin color, asking, 'Do you want someone to support your startup because you're black or because you're the best?' Fans and critics alike have called Williams 'privileged' and 'out of touch' for his comments, accusing him of being ignorant of the impact of politics on marginalized communities. His stance has been compared to previous comments in which he expressed frustration with celebrities discussing politics and advised them to 'shut up.' Williams' views on politics have been met with widespread criticism, with many questioning his understanding of the issue and its effects on different communities. As a wealthy and influential figure, his comments have sparked heated debate about the role of celebrities in politics and the responsibility that comes with their platform.
