Pharrell Williams used Louis Vuitton’s Fall-Winter 2026 Men’s show at Paris Fashion Week as a dual-stage debut, unveiling both a new collection and a slate of unreleased music that underscored his expanding creative reach.

Held Tuesday (Jan. 20) at 2 Rue du Pont Neuf, the show was designed by Williams in his role as Louis Vuitton Men’s Creative Director, who also curated and produced the evening’s soundtrack—comprised entirely of unheard collaborations expected to surface on forthcoming albums, though no release details have been confirmed.


The runway presentation featured appearances from Williams himself and longtime collaborator Pusha T, setting the tone for a night where fashion and music moved in lockstep.

The first track premiered was “Pray For Ya,” a sleek, gospel-tinged groove with John Legend that blurred sacred and secular themes. “All this money, you can’t help yourself,” Legend drawls on the hook, nodding to Barack Obama before closing the free-spirited anthem with an invitation for listeners to let loose.

Next came “Sex God,” a glossy pop offering from Jackson Wang that marked his first collaboration with Williams. The electro-leaning track was punctuated by a guest verse from Pusha T, who channeled a classic Notorious B.I.G. cadence over Pharrell’s jittery, minimalist production.

Additional unreleased cuts included “Disturbing The P,” a celebratory pairing with A$AP Rocky, and the Quavo-led closer “Hit-A-Lik,” continuing the duo’s growing list of joint efforts.

Williams also shared the stage with Voices of Fire and L’Orchestre du Pont Neuf, led by Thomas Roussel, for a performance of their anticipated single “The One,” which was officially released in conjunction with the show.

The moment capped a landmark year for both Williams and Pusha T. Clipse’s fourth studio album, Let God Sort Em Out, reunited Pusha T and Malice with Williams as sole producer and earned widespread acclaim.

The duo is also up for multiple Grammy Awards, including Best Rap Album, alongside nominations for Clipse’s “The Birds Don’t Sing” for Best Rap Song and “Chains & Whips” for Best Rap Performance.

Olivia Rodrigo Scores Third No. 1 Album With ‘You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love’

Olivia Rodrigo‘s new album, You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart, marking her third No. 1 LP and her biggest sales week ever. It was also largest week of 2026 for any album by a soloist, meaning You Seem Pretty Sad for a Girl So in Love outperformed Drake’s Iceman.

Rodrigo’s album sold 485,000 units in the United States in the week ending June 18, according to Billboard. By comparison, Drake sold 463,000 for Iceman in May. Drake has held the No. 1 spot since then for four weeks, only to be knocked down by Rodrigo.

Weeks after Florida senator Rick Scott urged the Tampa Sports Authority to cancel West’s upcoming concerts at Raymond James Stadium, San Antonio Gina Ortiz Jones similarly lobbied against the rapper performing in the Texas city.

Karma: Metallica’s Kirk Hammett Falls Off Stage Days After Enraging Swifties

Metallica’s Kirk Hammett suffered a bit of “Karma” Friday as the guitarist slipped off-stage mid-concert, days after wearing a shirt that inflamed Taylor Swift fans.

At Metallica’s June 13 concert in Budapest, Hammett donned a shirt that read “Taylor Swift Is a CIA Psyop.” Photos of Hammett in the garment eventually caught the attention of Swifties, who lashed out at the guitarist on Reddit and social media.

YG Gets Brutally Honest at ‘The Gentlemen’s Club’

In an interview posted on his YouTube account prior to the release of his seventh album, The Gentlemen’s Club, YG recalled a conversation he had with Kendrick Lamar about the importance of quality control. “I’m telling him about what I was doing, like putting out albums just to get out the deal ’cause my deal [with Def Jam] was fucked up,” he told his interviewer, DJ Hed (YG is now signed with 10K Projects through his 4Hunnid imprint). “[Kendrick] was like, ‘Bro, you ain’t never supposed to do that. You gotta give it your all every time.’”

Indeed, The Gentlemen’s Club signals a renewed focus on building narratives with his distinctively aggressive Bompton persona. It evokes his famed run from over a decade ago, when the rapper rose to stardom with 2014’s My Krazy Life and 2016’s Still Brazy by revitalizing the kind of street-conscious perspectives that the West Coast has long produced, from Ice Cube to the late Nipsey Hussle (who co-starred with YG on his deathless anti-Trump anthem “FDT”). But YG hasn’t scored a major Billboard hit since 2018’s “Big Bank.” His music in recent years has been typified by high-carb, low-nutrition radio bait like “Go Loko,” a bizarre number where he and Tyga shuffle along with Speedy Gonzales-styled accents, and “Toxic,” which lifts Mary J. Blige’s “Be Happy” nearly wholesale. (To be fair, his 2019 “Slide” collaboration with H.E.R. is romantic and enchanting.) In 2025, YG signaled a return to less irrelevant work with “2004,” a startling confession where he reveals he was sexually assaulted at 14 by a woman older than him. “Ever since that day, I’ve never looked at shit the same,” he rapped. Yet the stakes around his career can’t help but feel lower now.
