Pharrell Williams: 'I Made Madonna Cry Like A Baby'

June 12, 2008
Pharrell Williams: 'I Made Madonna Cry Like A Baby'US producer Pharrell Williams claims to have made Madonna cry like a baby when the pair were recording her new album 'Hard Candy'.

Williams says that he was quite nasty to the singer in the recording studio, which caused her to cry so badly he “had to get her a towel.”

"We were alone recording the album and she kept talking a lot of rubbish, so I shouted a lot of rubbish and she started crying her eyes out," he told Shortlist.

Williams said he had decided to speak about the incident after Madonna mentioned it in a recent interview.

"I just said some really nasty stuff, I guess. And yeah, she cried for a really long time actually," he said. "To be honest I can't believe she told someone about it.

“The whole situation was quite intense. It's totally weird to make Madonna sob, but even stranger when she tells everyone, 'Pharrell made me cry'.”
