Pharrell Has A Unique Take On His Iconic Single, “Beautiful”

Pharrell says that his hit song, “Beautiful,” is tainted in his ears and that he hears “Mickey Mouse” whenever the track comes on. He reflected on the Snoop Dogg-assisted single during an interview with Kelefa Sanneh on CBS Sunday Morning.

“I had a song called ‘Beautiful’ with Snoop, right?” Pharrell said. “Girls heard me singing that. I heard Mickey Mouse. I swear to you, when you just get a moment and you just listen, you’ll never be able to unhear it again. But that’s what I hear.”

It’s not the first time “Beautiful” has made headlines recently, as Snoop Dogg reflected on the making of the track during an interview with PEOPLE, last month. He revealed that Pharrell changed the way he wrote about women with the collaboration. “[Pharrell] made me do that song,” Snoop said of the track. “I would never do a song like that in the ’90s, but he tapped me into the side that I really never paid attention to. He was like, ‘You’ve been rapping about women and calling them h*es and they love you. When are you going to take time to show them that you love them and appreciate them?’ I was like, ‘I get it … put the beat on.’ Since then I’ve been on more of a ‘respect my queen’ rather than use derogatory words to explain my feeling towards females.”

Bianca Censori’s Throwback Photos Prove She’s Always Been A Beauty

Before she became Kanye West’s second wife, nowhere near as many people were familiar with Bianca Censori as they are now. Like many of the rapper’s past partners, there’s been a complete transformation in the Yeezy architect’s style. We’ve seen her long, dark hair be completely chopped off in favour of a boyish blonde style, and her old Instagram baddie outfits swapped out for unusual designer or athleisure fashions. The couple hasn’t confirmed if West is the one who picks out Censori’s eyebrow-raising outfits, but based on recently surfaced throwback photos of her, we’re assuming he had a hand in her sudden taste change.

A circulating TikTok shows the 27-year-old’s outfits since tying the knot with Ye, many of them consisting of sheer pantyhose in various colours and halter necklines. In the latter half of the video, we get a glimpse of Censori’s style before the father of four began influencing her. In the first snap, she looks comparable to his ex-wife, Kim Kardashian, while wearing beige biker shorts and a barely-there top. To add more emphasis to her voluptuous curves, Bianca squats down confidently in a pair of stripper heels.

Bianca Censori Through the Years

The next image sees her relaxing by the beach in a bright pink sports bra and leggings. Workout clothes still seem to be a favourite for her and West, though Censori rarely wears such a bright colour these days. The final two photos are a mirror selfie, emphasizing her cleavage in a lowcut top, and finally, a black and white photograph focusing solely on her chiselled face card.

We’ve seen them exploring the beautiful country of Italy over the past few days, but before their Eurotrip, Kanye West and Bianca Censori were spending time in Japan. Earlier this summer, the recently wed couple reportedly browsed through the sex toy section during a Tokyo shopping trip. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

DJ Khaled, Future, And SZA Celebrate A ‘Beautiful’ Life In Their New Video

Upon releasing his 13th album, God Did, DJ Khaled has released several music videos throughout the week. His latest visual is for the album cut, “Beautiful,” which features Future and SZA.

In the song’s video, directed by Collin Tilley, Khaled is seen charming a woman on a boat. As the song begins, Khaled is joined by Future and SZA as they vibe out on a mirrored platform on the sand. Also in the video, they are seen driving large vehicles and enjoying cozy time by the fireside.

To put out 13 albums is a rare feat, but with more than two decades in the game, the radio personality, producer, and motivational speaker still maintains his momentum.

“To get to a 13th album is, like, beyond incredible for me,” said Khaled in an interview with Billboard. “The greats that I look up to, when I see how many albums they put out, I’m on the right track. And I know how hard it is to be in this game — some people can’t make it past their first single or their first album.”

Check out the video for “Beautiful” above.

God Did is out now via We The Best/Epic Records. Stream it here.
