As a kid, Pharrell Williams fired from THREE different McDonald’s locations . Pharrell first revealed this on his MTV episode of ‘When I Was 17’, he then talked more about it with late night TV show host, Seth Meyers, late night show.
“I was lazy … I was very lazy,” Pharrell said.
“My manager would say ‘Williams, go mop the floor’!
(MTV video no longer available)“And I’d go out there, but the problem is I’d get caught up in the music … out in the dining area (of mcdonalds)… so the music would be playing and I’m like (dancing and singing to the music).
“At a certain point they realised that I was no help. I was only good at eating the chicken nuggets.”
McDonald’s paid Justin Timberlake, who sang the original ‘I’m Lovin’ It’, $6 million for the memorable “ba-da-ba-ba-bah” ascribed to “I’m Lovin’ It.”
