‘Happy’ Pharrell loses temper at Mawazine

Pharrell Williams snapped at a journalist on Saturday, May 30 at the Mawazine festival in Rabat, Morocco, when confronted about the legal woes surrounding his 2013 Robin Thicke collaboration Blurred Lines. When asked whether he was "happy" at the prospect of losing US$7.4 million (Dh27m) after an American court in March found them guilty of plagiarising Marvin Gaye's 1977 track Got to Give Up, Williams shot back: "Of course, why shouldn't I be happy? I still have all of my copyright and my publishing. Secondly, the question is are you happy in your life?" Williams and Thicke intend to fight the verdict. – Saeed Saeed
