As you have probably heard already, Pharrell Williams was granted the “Fashion Icon” Award at the 2015 CFDA Fashion Awards last weekend. While photos from the ceremony surfaced on the web almost immediately, it took a minute before the CFDA provided a video of P’s acceptance speech.
One half of The Neptunes was given the award by another rap artists known for his incredible style, Kanye West. Yeezy didn’t shy away from calling his pal his biggest style influence and admit there would be no Kanye or A$AP Rocky without Mr. Happy.

Upon receiving the award, Pharrell made a brief and humble statement, telling the audience he doesn’t feel like a style icon, but is grateful for being able to be himself and learn about fashion from “the everyday American people.” He also thanked those who inspired him and his assistant, Cynthia “Cactus” Lu.
