Pharrell Williams likes older women

London: Rapper Pharrell Williams says he has a "fetish" for older women.

The "N.E.R.D." star, who is engaged to model and fashion designer Helen Lasichanh, lost his virginity when he was 16 to someone much older to him. "I like powerful women - women with some life experience - and I`m very attracted to intelligence," a website has quoted the 39-year-old as saying. "I lost my virginity when I was 16. She was older than me, and age has been a fetish of mine ever since," he added. IANS
