Pharrell Williams Says He Doesn’t “Do” Politics, The Internet Finds His Past Political Social Media Posts

Pharrell Williams, the man who brought us the ultimate dance anthem “Happy,” is apparently not so happy when celebrities start throwing political advice at us mere mortals. In fact, he’s got some strong opinions about not having opinions. Yes, the irony is so thick, you could spread it on toast.

In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the 51-year-old musician, who once donned a “Vote or Die” T-shirt like a political superhero in 2004, seems to have experienced a sudden case of selective amnesia. โ€œI donโ€™t do politics,โ€ he declared, as if we didnโ€™t all see him urging us to hit the voting booths like our lives depended on it. Pharrell, buddy, we remember. We have receipts.

But wait, thereโ€™s more! He went on to say, โ€œI get annoyed when celebrities try to tell you who to vote for.โ€ This is coming from a guy who literally had a campaign slogan that was one vowel away from threatening our lives if we didnโ€™t vote. But now? Nah, Pharrell’s above it. Heโ€™s over here rolling his eyes at celebrity political endorsements like he’s never been in those shoes. Spoiler alert: He has.

โ€œThere are celebrities I respect that have an opinion,โ€ he admitted, adding, โ€œbut not all of them.โ€ Pharrell, once again, kind of hinting at the fact that *he* is one of the special chosen few whose opinion matters. The rest? Pfft. Get outta here with your self-righteous placards and rolled-up sleeves. Pharrellโ€™s message is simple: take your cardboard sign and keep walking.

As for his own political stance? Well, heโ€™s keeping that as vague as possible. When asked who heโ€™s voting for, Pharrell cryptically said, โ€œNot sure Iโ€™ll ever vote far right.โ€ Ooo, bold stance. Itโ€™s almost like saying, โ€œI donโ€™t like anchovies on my pizza.โ€ Not groundbreaking, but hey, itโ€™s a start.

However, before Pharrell gets too comfortable in his “I’m too cool for politics” chair, the internetโ€”bless its ever-watchful eyeโ€”dug up some old gems. Like that time he tweeted about Aaron Rouse running for Virginia State Senator in 2022, encouraging people to vote with more enthusiasm than a Disney character at a parade: โ€œVirginia! Let your voice be heard, VOTE NOWโœจ #TeamRouse ๐Ÿ˜Œโ€

Oh, and letโ€™s not forget his other small act of political engagement when he endorsed Hillary Clinton on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2016. โ€œItโ€™s time for a woman to be in there,โ€ he said with the confidence of someone whoโ€™s absolutely forgotten that this whole interview is contradicting his previous actions. โ€œWomen think about things in a holistic way,โ€ he continued, apparently now a certified expert in the female brain.

Pharrell doesnโ€™t do politicsโ€ฆ except for that time he definitely did. Pharrell Williams is politically neutral. Until he isnโ€™t.
