Pharrell Praises Britney Spears Before VMAs
It seems that Pharrell Williams has worked with nearly everyone in the music industry, and he is praising the career of Britney Spears.
The pair have worked together on multiple hit songs, including "I'm a Slave 4 U" and "Boys."
"She's made her mark with her career," Williams told People at Wednesday's Pepsi 500 (NASCAR) Running Wide Open party in Los Angeles, which he co-hosted. "She's super-talented. She's an entertainer."
Which may not seem like much, but considering that Spears is nominated for three VMAs, and is reportedly working on her best, and darkest, album to date (according to Spears, her manager and her producer), this seems like a great compliment.
Williams, 35, is currently working on music with Common (who frequently collaborates with Kanye West) and Fall Out Boy.
"I'm not sure [if she will win]," Williams said. "I don't even know if it really matters whether she wins or not."
The VMAs have been promoted, in part, with Spears appearing in commercials with this year's host, Russell Brand (Forgetting Sarah Marshall).
Spears will not perform in MTV's award show.
