American rapper, songwriter and singer Pharrell Williams has
said that the coronavirus pandemic does not justify the difference between
normalcy and the New Normal.
Speaking on phone call to counterpart Kanye West, Pharrell
said that life has gained a different kind of gravity, attributing this to
human undertakings.
“This is a plague
we’re living through at the moment. I don’t think there will be such a thing as
a new normal – it doesn’t do enough justice to the difference in who we were
pre-pandemic and who we will be moving forward,” Pharrell said.
The Fashion designer further instilled confidence that
Covid-19 is not the only pandemic that the world has ever experienced, saying
that ‘we are going to work to get through it.’
“Life’s going to have a different kind of gravity than it’s
ever had before. It’s also gonna make us really separated… But we have been
through many plagues before. We have been through pandemics. We survived. We’re
gonna make it. In a lot of ways we got ourselves into this, we gotta get to
work to get through it,” confide Pharrell.
On his part, Pop star Kanye West said that it is time for
human race to readjust its mindset and use it to change the world.
“We need to understand humanity as one species. We need to
change our mentality, readjust our mindset and use that readjusted mindset to
change the world,” Kanye said.
This comes days after Kanye donated $2 million USD to
various charitable causes and paid for George Floyd’s daughter’s college
tuition.
