In 2017 Pharrell Williams received Honorem’s degree in Fine Arts from NY University. For the occasion, the artist also held a speech in which he called himself “perpetual student” and dealt with the theme of gender equality.
«This is the first generation that is really realized that women should never be left behind. We are finally eliminating principles and laws that made women remain back too long, “he said in front of the students. «You, girls and boys, are the first to understand this. And I repeat it forcefully. Our nation has never seen anything like this before ».
