The Hat Trick

"Hey @Pharrell, can we have our hat back?” #GRAMMYS We’re guessing Pharrell Williams got the message that fast food chain Arby’s tweeted during the GRAMMY Awards. The hat in question was designer Vivienne Westwood’s creation, an Arby’s logo look-a-like hat the nominated musician wore on the red carpet.

Arby’s, best known for their meat stacks of classic roast beef received a response from Williams: “Thank you to whoever bought my Grammy hat on @eBay for $44,100. Your donation benefits From One Hand To AnOTHER. (Free shipping included)” “@Pharrell You’re welcome. We’re HAPPY to support a great cause & get our hat back. Good luck at the #Oscars tonight!” “Y’all tryna start a roast beef?, added Pharrell. “
