There’s no denying there’s interest surrounding Hillary Clinton’s decision to run for president in 2016 or not, but now she has the celebrity support of “Happy” singer Pharrell Williams.
In an interview with GQ, Williams endorsed the former Secretary of State and sounded extremely confident in the fact that she’s not only going to run but she will win as well.
"Let me tell you why Hillary's going to win. Everywhere you go in this country, you have red and blue. You got the Democrats; you got the Republicans. You got the Bloods; you got the Crips. You know what else is red and blue? Blood. Blood is blue in your body until air hits it, and then it turns red. That means there's unity. So when you think about a night where there's late-night talk-show hosts and it's mostly women, that's a different world. Right? A world where 75 percent of the prime ministers and the presidents were women: that's a different world,” he explained.
“We're about to have a female president. Hillary's gonna win,” he stated. He explained the fact that she’s a woman will carry her through – as women don’t like men telling them what to do about certain issues, mainly what to do with their bodies.
“No matter how staunch of a supporter you are of no-abortion, whatever you are: You're a woman, and there's no way in the world you're going to vote for somebody that's going to try to tell you what to do with your body,” he said.
“When we are a country and we are a species that has had a martian Rover traveling up and down the crevices of this planet looking for water and ice, okay, and we've had a space station that's been orbiting our planet for sixteen years—but we still got legislation trying to tell women what to do with their bodies?”
Williams even said her husband, president Bill Clinton, is “the coolest dude in the game” and that “every woman in the world wants him.” He said, “It's a two-for-one,” as Clinton “represents a woman in power.”
His solo album G.I.R.L came out on March 3.
Williams had a successful year in 2013 with mega-hits like "Blurred Lines" and "Get Lucky," which followed through to 2014 with his Oscar nomination for Frozen track "Happy."
