Pharrell Is Unfazed by Drake’s Disses and Purchase of His Jewelry

by

As a long-time fan who has witnessed Pharrell’s extraordinary journey from his N.E.R.D days to his current status as a multi-talented music mogul, I find myself in awe of his unflappable demeanor amidst Drake’s public dissensions. It’s not every day you see an artist like Pharrell, who has weathered the storm of the industry with such grace and resilience.

As a die-hard fan, I can confidently say that Pharrell has openly expressed he’s unfazed by Drake’s public criticisms towards him. In an interview with GQ, he shared that not even a single one of Drake’s jabs have left a mark on him.

In the article titled “Man of the Year,” Skateboard P stated that he has no problems with Drake buying his jewelry from the JOOPITER auction and the allegations about melting them down. He explained this by saying, “No, because I believe that beyond all the ongoing events, at the core, he’s a music lover. He appreciates the history of music, and I just so happen to be part of that, and those artifacts are a part of it.” When asked about Drake’s lyrics on “MELTDOWN” that seemed to criticize him and Kendrick Lamar (“I melt down the chains that I bought from yo’ boss / Give a f*ck about all of that heritage shit”), Pharrell responded, “It didn’t affect me.

Rather than interpreting Pharrell’s lack of emotion as an attempt to preserve his image, it’s more accurate to say that he no longer holds any emotional attachment towards the items he sold, which is why they were put up for auction. In his own words, “It seems some things are beyond my comprehension. When you release your grip, a significant part of it involves letting go. Not just the physical object, but also the emotional tie to its meaning or memory. You’re essentially relinquishing control over them.

Speaking as a passionate enthusiast, I went on to say, “That was the intention behind it. It’s similar to when someone sells something and they emphasize, ‘I want you to take good care of it because this is my treasure.’ But let me clarify, this isn’t my treasure. That’s why I’m passing it on.

Apart from his “Meltdown” track, Drake indirectly addressed Dot and Pharrell regarding personal issues stemming from their ongoing feud following the release of “Euphoria”. In his lyrics, he says, “If you’re gonna defend Pharrell, then go collect his legacy from my place.” Known as The Boy, Drake was also seen wearing an expensive N.E.R.D pendant in his “Jumbotron Shit Poppin” music video, valued at approximately $2 million USD.
