Pharrell Williams may be a music mogul today, but his first job at McDonald's wasn't exactly a resounding success. Reflecting on his early days, the 51-year-old-now a Grammy-winning artist and fashion entrepreneur worth an estimated $250 million-recalled how his love for McNuggets landed him in trouble during his fast-food stint.

Before Pharrell Williams became a Grammy-winning artist, he held a job at McDonald’s. In a BBC Radio 2 interview, the 51-year-old “Happy” musician shared that working at McDonald’s was his “first and only job,” but he “got fired three times.” Explaining why, he admitted, “I was eating the chicken nuggets.”
