WEBDESK: Pharrell Williams became the creative head for men’s fashion at Louis Vuitton. Still, he didn’t want to be called the Louis Vuitton Don because that was Kanye West’s job.
The Happy singer recently showed off his SS24 collection for the fashion giant. According to TMZ, stars like Rihanna, Beyoncé, Jay-Z, A$AP Rocky, Tyler the Creator, Jaden Smith, and Willow Smith were there.
Since everyone was happy, Swizz Beatz was given the title on an Instagram Live with the Skateboard P standing next to him.
Swizz Beatz said, “Ladies and gentlemen, this is my brother, Pharrell.” “The Duke. The Don of Louis Vuitton.”
But the singer quickly told the music director that he was wrong when he said that Ye was still the only real don.
“Nah, nah, nah, nah. I am the Pupil King, which means I am a student. Kanye West’s best song is “Louis Vuitton Don.” Period. That is the Louis Vuitton Don. I’m the Student King, and I’ll always be a student.”
The link between the Donda hitmaker and LV’s Don came from his track “Last Call” in The College Dropout.
In 2019, the Grammy winner talked about Louis Vuitton and said that he almost had a deal with the company, but it fell through in the middle.
I talked to Bernard Arnault. We had an agreement that we both shook on. I put on some shows at the museum,” West went on.
“The deal was then dropped by the board three months later. When that happened, it set me back a bit in terms of clothes.”
