Pharrell Williams came under fire for not including a black female on
his "GIRL"album cover..He has been called racist and all.This same cover art got Kola Boof going against Bassey Ikpi on twitter ( if you missed it read it
HERE ) .He decided to
address the issue on Power 105.1′s The Breakfast Club
What really disappointed me is they jumped the gun, because the one I’m
standing closest to is black.She’s a black girl from Wisconsin that I
used to date over 10 years ago. Maybe 12 years ago. That just must suck
man for people to look at something and to assume they know what’s going
on. If they just bothered to listen to my album, they would know that
my album was an ode to women, period.And the one thing that’s I’m trying
to kill…well I can’t kill anything…but the one thing I was trying to
aid in changing the crazy statuesque standard of you gotta be white,
waif, and thin for you to be beautiful.
Man, it must suck to be that black woman that’s on my cover right now
because she’s black. When they find out that she is black, then what?
Then we’re arguing amongst ourselves within color.
Then the argument’s going to be she’s not brown enough. Then my question
to you is, are y’all asking me do I have an Indian person on the cover?
Why aren’t you asking about a Pakistani person? A Middle Eastern person
on the cover. I just…man. What are we talking about? We’re making huge
strides here. Let’s unify, dude. ‘Cause honestly, if you know anything
about me, if you’ve seen any of my videos, you seen any of the girls
I’ve ever dated, you know I like ‘em all.. You would know that.
What do you guys think?
