Pharrell Williams NOT HAPPY with fellow celebs telling people who to vote for
09/18/2024 / By Ramon Tomey
Music producer and singer Pharrell Williams has expressed annoyance toward his fellow celebrities telling people who they should vote for.
According to Modernity News, the singer of “Frontin'” and “Happy” delivered the remark during an interview with the Hollywood Reporter (THR). It followed a question by a journalist from the entertainment outlet asking whether Williams would allow political campaigns to use his music.
Williams told THR: “I don’t do politics. In fact, I get annoyed sometimes when I see celebrities trying to tell you [who to vote for]. There are celebrities that I respect who have an opinion, but not all of them. I’m one of [those] people [who says], ‘What the heck? Shut up. Nobody asked you.
“When people get out there, get self-righteous, roll up their sleeves and s**t, and they are out there walking around with a placard, [I go]: ‘Shut up!’ So no, I would rather stay out of the way.
“Obviously, I’m going to vote how I’m going to vote. I care about my people and I care about the country, but I feel there’s a lot of work that needs to be done. I’m really about the action.”
Williams’ comments followed pop star Taylor Swift’s endorsement of Vice President Kamala Harris after the Sept. 10 debate between her and former President Donald Trump. The outlet continued: “Ironically, some speculated that we’ve reached the stage where celebrities merely acting in a nonpartisan way is a de facto endorsement of Trump.”
One instance came from South Korean actor Lee Kang-min, who proceeded to bash Williams even though Lee himself wasn’t an American citizen. “When celebrities can’t openly say they’re voting for Trump, they talk like this,” Lee wrote in a post on his X account.
Telling people who to vote no longer works
“Democrats have long used Hollywood celebrities to amplify their messaging and exert pressure on fans – especially young adults – to vote for the Left,” Breitbart News pointed out. “But left-wing celebrity influencers appear to have reached a saturation point when it comes to their powers of persuasion.”
One such influencer who has tempered his endorsement of the Left is actor and professional wrestler Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Earlier this month, he shared some kind words from Trump during the Value Conference held in Florida. According to Johnson, Trump bravely standing up after the first assassination attempt against him on July 13 was what the country “wanted to see.”
“Whether you love Donald, don’t love Donald, it doesn’t matter. They tried to assassinate him. There’s no room for that,” the actor of “The Scorpion King” and “Fast and Furious” fame told attendees.
“Despite it being who we were in that moment, I still believe in my core that is not who we are as a nation. So him standing up at that moment, we wanted to see that.”
In April, the professional wrestler said he wouldn’t be officially endorsing anyone in this year’s elections. Some have suggested that Johnson now regrets endorsing incumbent President Joe Biden in 2020 – with their suggestions being proven right during his interview with Fox News.
“The endorsement that I made years ago with Biden was one I thought was the best decision for me at [the] time. But what that caused was something that tears me up in my guts, which is division. The takeaway after that was it caused an incredible amount of division,” Johnson said.
“I realize now going into this election, I will not do that. There will be no endorsement. At this level of influence, I will keep my politics to myself; it is between me and the ballot box.” (Related: The Rock says HE WON’T SUPPORT Joe Biden in 2024 elections.)
