Pharrell Williams’ big hat has announced the start of a solo career, bringing an end to their 20 year collaboration. Though fans have expressed shock on social media – rumours have long circulated the industry that Pharrell’s hat had ghostwritten many of his biggest hits, including 2013’s Happy, and 2014’s Come Get it Bae.

Despite the split – Pharrell has remained upbeat, though characteristically enigmatic, since the surprise announcement; he was seen grinning and muttering happily to himself, while rocking jovially at a press conference earlier this week.

Pharrell’s hat – performing under his birth name of Naa’xeth the Ancient One – hopes to take the charts by storm with his new venture.

“All shall submit beneath my will”, he told The Files at a press conference this week. “As my dark ballads ring across your feeble planet, my blasphemous tendrils will seep ever deeper into the blackest recesses of your minds.”

We reached out to Naa’xeth and asked him what to expect in his upcoming album.

“Between worlds there is a great void – a writhing blackness that will consume your cosmos and all others,” he told The Files. “I am the piper that helms the great army of death.”

It’s clear that Naa’xeth is aiming high with his next project – we at The Files say – hats off to him!!
