Pharrell Williams Responds To G I R L Album Cover Critics With ‘Marilyn Monroe’ Single Video [Download]

Earlier this year, Pharrell Williams caused an uproar after he released his G I R L album cover art, and was first blasted for not featuring a black girl on his cover, and later colourism when it was revealed that there was a black girl featured, but she was of a light complexion.
Yesterday, in an effort to bite back at the backlash, he released the cover art to his newest single “Marilyn Monroe,” replacing the blonde, iconic bombshell with a black woman.


This comes weeks after Pharrell revealed to Oprah that he was bothered by the backlash seeing as though a black girl was used, and somehow she wasn’t black enough:
I went on to explain that she is African-American and I used to date her and it must suck to be a black girl of that color because you’re being questioned if you’re black enough. Her dad is black, her mom is white. Here’s my thing. Why are we having this conversation? See, this is what I didn’t want to happen because you make an issue about first I didn’t have no black girls on there. Then, it instantly turned into they’re not dark enough.
