Pharrell Williams has been catching heat recently over his cover art for his new album, ‘G I R L.’ The artwork has been deemed racist by many critics who believed that none of the women appearing on the cover were African-American. Skateboard P says they got it all wrong.
In an interview with the Breakfast Club, the ‘Blurred Lines’ producer responded to the criticism that his cover should have featured women who are black.
In fact, Williams says there is a black woman on the LP’s cover who appears on his far left.
“Man, they jumped the gun because the one I’m closest to is black,” he states. “She’s a black girl from Wisconsin that I used to date 12 years ago.”
“It must just suck for people to just look at something and to assume they know what’s going on,” he adds. “And if they just bother to listen to my album they would know that my album was an ode to women, period.”
Williams insists he understands the problematic issue of the lack of black women of all hues being represented in pop culture. He maintains he’s not colorist and that his album celebrates women of all colors.
“The one thing I’m trying to help in changing [with my album] is this crazy statuesque standard of you gotta be white, waif and thin in order to be beautiful,” he says. “No matter what color you are, what size you are, what you are in to, your sexual orientation, I respect you as a women because without you none of us would be here.”
But unfortunately, they looked at the cover and they didn’t see what they felt like … what their definition [of black is],” he added. “She is a light-skinned black woman so what are we talking about?”
Skateboard P insists that he’s not upset at people debating about his album cover. But he also reiterated that he loves black women.
“I’m not mad ’cause I understand that plight,” he says. “My dad is a dark-skinned man. Have I lived it specifically? Yeah, I’m a black man.”
“It’s just reported that I’m the first black person to go No. 1 on pop radio since Rihanna, ” he continues. “But then you are going to shoot at me? I’m going turn 41 in April. Of course I’m doing this for us. My mom is a black woman that is a huge part of my business. My business is run by another black woman and I’m married to a black woman. What are you talking about?”
Overall, Williams says that his album reaffirms the message that all women are beautiful and he hopes that people can hear and see his good intentions.
In response to Pharrell’s comments, Dream Hampton, who initially kicked off the skin color conversation with her tweet, wrote on her timeline:

Da Brat‘s violent attack on a waitress in an Atlanta nightclub in 2007 is costing her big bucks.
TMZ reports that the rapper was in court Thursday (Feb. 27) for a civil trial regarding a lawsuit filed against her by Shayla Stevens, a former waitress at Studio 72, a club owned by producer Jermaine Dupri. Stevens, also a former Atlanta Falcons cheerleader, sued the 39-year-old entertainer in 2007, for hitting her in the face with a bottle, which left a deep laceration on her cheek, according to reports.
A jury found Da Brat, born Shawntae Harris, responsible for causing Stevens’ permanent facial scarring, neurological impairment and severe mental pain. She must now pay the victim $6.4 million. Initially, the rhymer was ordered to cough up $3.7 million. An additional $2.7 million has been added by the jury as additional punishment for Da Brat’s actions.
In 2007, Brat plead guilty to felony aggravated assault for the attack. As a result, she was sentenced to three years behind bars, seven years probation and 200 hours of community service. The ‘Funkdafied’ creator was released from prison in May 2010.
Considering she hasn’t released an album since 2003′s ‘Limelite, Luv & Niteclubz,’ it will be interesting to find out how Da Brat will cover the hefty price tag set by the jury.

Kanye West has movies on his mind this year. Besides the new project he has in the works with ‘American Psycho’ writer Bret Easton Ellis, the rapper will release a film based around his ‘Yeezus’ album and tour.
The Hype Williams-directed effort details West’s elaborate Yeezus tour, which concluded this month. A trailer for the film debuted on KanyeWest.com Thursday (Feb. 27). The MC gave no prior hints about the clip, which shows footage from his elaborate performances — face masks, Jesus, mountains and women included.
“Yeezus film directed by Hype Williams coming to theaters,” is the message posted on West’s official site. No official date for its release has been announced.
This isn’t the first time the director and the G.O.O.D. Music creator have collaborated. In 2010, they joined forces for Ye’s short film ‘Runaway,’ which was inspired by the song featured on his ‘My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy’ album.
Experience a sneak peek of the project below.

Akon has been slapped with a lawsuit by an electric company claiming they never got paid for the electrical work they performed on the rapper’s Atlanta mansion.
According to Radar Online, the ‘Smack That’ artist hired Southern Electric Company to renovate his home last year. The company alleges that Akon failed to pay $95,000 for “labor and materials” used during the construction. They are seeking that amount plus interest.
Shockingly, Akon has racked up an astounding list of lawsuits within the past year.
The singer-songwriter is being sued by Australian businessman Patrick Grove who claims that he booked Akon for a party in April and he never showed up. Grove is seeking the $150,000 he paid Akon plus damages.
Also, an Egyptian singer is suing Akon for allegedly reneging on a performance contract. In his suit, Tamer Hosney claims he paid the ‘Locked Up’ crooner $300,000 to have both him and Pitbull appear on his song ‘Arabian Knight’ and in the accompanying video. Pitbull never showed up as Akon promised and now he wants his money back.
Akon’s lawyer had no comment on his client’s legal matters.
