Pharrell Says He’s Unbothered by Drake’s Disses After the OVO Rapper Bought His Jewelry

Drake has made his disdain for Pharrell known on several occasions with bars from “Meltdown” and “Family Matters” sniping at Skateboard P. The 6 God even purchased some of Pharrell’s jewelry in the Joopiter auction and flexed in P’s $2 million N.E.R.D. necklace in the “Jumbotron S–t Poppin” visual.

GQ named Pharrell its Designer of the Year for 2024 and at one point in Wednesday’s (Nov. 13) interview the Neptunes legend was asked how he felt about Drake melting down his old chains and Pharrell revealed he’s been unbothered by it all.

“No, because I think beyond all of the on-goings, at the heart of all of it, he’s a fan of music,” P said of Drake making the purchase. “He’s a fan of the history of what it is, and I happen to be a part of that, and those artifacts are a part of it.”

Pharrell was tight-lipped when questioned about the Drake disses and how “it struck him.”

“It didn’t,” he replied. “No.”

On a broader scale, the Louis Vuitton Men’s Creative Director explained how letting go of all the jewelry in the auction was his way of disconnecting from the value of the items.

“Or not. I guess some things are not for me to understand. When you let things go, a huge part of it is actually letting go,” he added. “Not just of the physical item, but letting go of your connection to what it’s supposed to mean, or the memory.”

P continued, “You’re literally letting them go. That was the purpose. It’s like when people sell something and they go, ‘I just want to make sure you take care of it because this is my baby.’ And I’m like, ‘No, no, no.’ This is not my baby. That’s why I’m letting it go.”

Drake jabs at Pharrell on Utopia‘s “Meltdown” with Travis Scott. “I melt down the chains that I bought from yo’ boss/ Give a f–k about all of that heritage s–t,” he raps.

Pharrell even found himself in the middle of the Drake and Kendrick Lamar feud. Lamar stuck up for the superproducer on “Euphoria.” “I don’t like you poppin’ s–t at Pharrell, for him, I inherit the beef/ Yeah, fuck all that pushin’ P, let me see you push a T,” he spews.

Drake then directly responded on “Family Matters” when baiting Kendrick to come get his legacy — in this case the chains — out of his mansion. “You wanna take up for Pharrell/ Then come get his legacy out of my house,” the OVO boss replied.
