Renowned music producer and Louis Vuitton Men's Creative Director, Pharrell Williams recently addressed the situation involving Drake's purchase of his old jewelry for a staggering $3.3 million.
The jewelry, which included a 14K three-tone N.E.R.D pendant chain, a white gold brain pendant chain, and a skateboard pendant chain, was acquired by Drake during Pharrell's Joopiter auction. Despite Drake's public threats to "melt down" these iconic pieces, Pharrell remains unfazed.
In an interview with GQ, Pharrell expressed that he is not bothered by Drake's actions or his disses, stating, "No, because I think beyond all of the on-goings, at the heart of all of it, he’s a fan of music. He’s a fan of the history of what it is, and I happen to be a part of that, and those artifacts are a part of it." When asked if Drake's lyrics about melting down the chains affected him, Pharrell simply replied, "It didn’t."
Pharrell elaborated on his decision to let go of the jewelry, explaining that it was a process of detachment from the items' sentimental value. "When you let things go, a huge part of it is actually letting go. Not just of the physical item, but letting go of your connection to what it’s supposed to mean, or the memory. You’re literally letting them go," he said.
Drake, known for his bold statements, showcased the jewelry in his "Jumbotron Sh*t Poppin" video and referenced them in his track "Family Matters." However, Pharrell's nonchalant response highlights his focus on moving forward and embracing new creative endeavors, rather than dwelling on past possessions.
