Pharrell Williams Has Big Plans


U.S. rapper and producer Pharrell Williams, a sci-fi fan and skateboarder, is planning to open an ice cream parlor in Manhattan next year.

In an interview with the New York Post, Williams talked about his plans, saying he considers the work he does as his way of giving back to the community. As a black skateboarder, Williams said he's presenting the media with something unconventional, thus breaking stereotypes.
This week, Williams is releasing "Team Ice Cream Vol. 1 Skate Video," which features footage of his skate team's world tour. Next, Williams told the Post, he wants to work on a book about all his custom gold jewelry.
As for the ice cream shop, Williams said he plans to open it in April.
Williams, who said he never gets the chance to skate anymore, told the Post he became interested in the sport when his dad's best friend, a surfer, got him his first skateboard
