Pharrell Williams Has Weekend Wedding Bash After Secretly Getting Married

Pharrell Williams secretly marries longtime girlfriend Pharrell Williams secretly got married to his model girlfriend back in August, but had a big celebration over the weekend where good friends Usher and Busta Rhymes performed in the midst of what could have been a serious R&B smackdown.

Model Helen Lasichanh is the lucky woman who snagged the “Get Lucky” singer and producer, and the newlyweds had quite the celebration on Saturday in Miami.

“Usher and Busta Rhymes did a mini-concert at the wedding,” said one source who attended the ceremony. “It was so fun. The little concert was amazing. It [was] the most fun wedding I’ve ever been to.”

A glance at the guest list, however, indicates that the fun wedding could have easily gone wrong.

Pharrell invited both Robin Thicke and Justin Timberlake to the celebration of his nuptials and there’s quite a bit of tension between the two R&B stars.

Thicke accused Timberlake of stealing his style of music when he created the hit single “Suit & Tie.”

Needless to say, Thicke’s style of music isn’t nearly original enough for him to accuse anyone of ripping off his sound.

Either way, no reports surfaced of the soulful crooners getting into an altercation, so one can only assume the ceremony went on without any drama.

Meanwhile, Pharrell has been dishing about how much he enjoys his new family who he describes as being his best friends.

“[He’s the] best song that I’ve ever co-written,” he said about his son, Rocket Man Williams, back in August.

As for any parenting advice, he claimed he isn’t a master at it himself but he certainly enjoys being a family man.

“It’s awesome,” he said. “I can’t tell anyone what to do. I can’t give anyone relationship advice but the bestie thing is awesome. Every night is like a sleepover.”

Rocket Williams is four years old and while his famous daddy does his best to keep him out of the spotlight, the pair was spotted out and about over the Labor Day weekend spending some quality time together.

 

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
