14 DAY TRIAL // Not long ago, rapper Pharrell Williams strut around in a fur coat. His goal was to promote a new store that French label Moncler's had opened in Paris.
By the looks of it, he is now sorry about what he did. Just not as sorry as animal rights activists, and especially PETA, would like him to be.
According to Contact Music, the rapper recently had a chat with Complex Magazine, and told the publication that, all things considered, it might not have been such a good idea for him to put on Moncler's jacket.
“Just recently I tried on something from Moncler. This crazy jacket. And I regret it because I sympathize with the people who are animal activists. I sympathize with their movement and I recognize that people could be impressionable,” Pharrell Williams explained.
Then, he had a change of heart, and argued that he had a right to wear whatever he pleased, and that people had no business telling him otherwise.
“At the same time, I like fashion. And I don't like being told what to do. I especially don't like people who judge because those people who sit around like they're purists on every level, I'm sure you can find a sin there somewhere.”
“Don't point the finger. Like, I hope there's nothing leather in your whole entire house. And if there isn't, that's cool, but what about what you're driving? Oh, you're not putting any emissions in the air? Oh, OK, cool. Alright, so are you feeding any people? What are you doing with your life?” the rapper further said.
I myself am not a huge fan of the fur industry (truth be told, I would have it abolished), but I do have to admit that Pharrell Williams makes some really good points. What do you think? Let me know in the comments section below.
