Pharrell Responds to Drake’s Comments on Melting Down His Jewelry
Grammy-winning producer and Louis Vuitton men’s creative director, Pharrell, has addressed Drake’s 2023 comments about buying and threatening to melt down his old jewelry.
In a recent interview with GG Magazine, Pharrell reflected on auctioning his jewelry in 2022, saying, “You never realize how much all the stuff you have weighs on you, but it does… When you let that go, man, you feel so free.”
Asked how he felt about Drake’s remarks in his verse on Travis Scott’s “Meltdown,” Pharrell responded, “It didn’t.” In that verse, Drake took a jab, rapping about melting down Pharrell’s chains and dismissing their heritage value.
Drake’s $3.3 million jewelry haul included unique pieces like a N.E.R.D. pendant chain and a skateboard chain, which he showcased in his “Jumbotron Shit Poppin” video.
Nigerian news analyst, Mahmud Jega, has shared his opinion on the recent airstrike carried out by the United States in Nigeria, stating that Nigerians should not blame President Bola Tinubu for the incident.
Jega made this statement during a recent interview, where he said he does not believe many people will hold the Tinubu administration responsible, as Donald Trump had issued threats against Nigeria long before Tinubu’s administration.
“No, I don’t think many people will blame the Tinubu administration for what is happening now because President Donald Trump, when he first made the threats, it was clearly not in coordination with the Tinubu administration or the government of Nigeria,” Jega said.
It has been reported that the United States carried out an airstrike targeting ISIS in the northwest region of Nigeria. The order was reportedly given by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
“Tonight, at my direction as Commander in Chief, the United States launched a powerful and deadly strike against ISIS terrorist elements in northwest Nigeria,” Trump said.
He added, “I have previously warned these terrorists that if they did not stop the slaughtering of Christians, there would be hell to pay, and tonight, there was.”
The Federal Government of Nigeria has officially declared the holiday dates for the festive season.
Thursday, December 25 will be observed as Christmas Day, December 26 as Boxing Day, and Thursday, January 1 as New Year’s Day.
The declaration was made by the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Interior, Dr. Magdalene Ajani. He also added that Nigerians should celebrate the holidays in faith and pray for the nation.
