        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pharrell Williams was hit with a backlash after asking his fans to donate to hospitals amid the coronavirus pandemic this week.</p><p>He <a href="https://twitter.com/Pharrell/status/1242552040145866752">told his more than 12 million followers</a>, “Hospitals are running low on masks, gowns, and other critical items. We need to replenish their supplies. Take action, make a donation, and ask others to join the fight. We’re in this together. Let’s protect the responders on the frontlines.”</p><p>But fans clapped back with responses pointing out his wealth — said to be as high as $150 million — amid increasing unemployment.</p><p>“Imagine asking the people who most likely are being laid off right now, to donate while you could just get your fellow celebs to raise money,” said one Twitter user.</p><p>Another wrote, “So lemme get this straight. You are asking the millions of Americans who may not have a job right now to donate?! You’re asking people who have an avg HOUSEHOLD income of less than $55,000 to donate?”</p><p>Noting that his enormous Beverly Hills house <strong>is up for sale for $17 million</strong>, another wrote, “You literally live in a community college spending Kelis Milkshake royalty checks on Uber eats and you’re asking US TO DONATE!?!?”</p>]]></content:encoded>
