Pusha T and many other friends joined him for the festivities as the music mogul continues his upward trajectory in the industry.

Pharrell recently celebrated his 50th birthday (April 5) in Japan, taking the time to enjoy his five decades of excellence overseas. Moreover, videos and pictures recently surfaced on social media of the Neptunes producer having fun around the country. For example, he blew out all the candles on his massive birthday cake with his hands in a video shared by No Jumper and a few other publications. In other clips, you can see Williams and his entourage going around the city on a boat, living lavishly as they take in the sights. For someone of the 50-year-old's acumen and reputation, it's a surprise that he didn't throw the biggest party in the world.

Still, Pusha T did join him for the trip, so there's at least a little bit of celebrity power added to the birthday, prompting those on social media to gush over their moves. Furthermore, Push was one of many famous friends who paid tribute to Skateboard P on his special day. "Happy. C. Day," Snoop Dogg wrote on Instagram. "@pharrell thankful to have u as a producer friend and brother welcome to the 5th floor." Also, Busta Rhymes shared a lengthy message congratulating the musical mogul.

"There is no amount of words that can describe what this man has done to continue to inspire me, push me forward and keep me the most positive and productive space through out the 25 plus yrs we have known each other!!" he wrote. "Happy Born Day and Happy 50th to my Brother @pharrell and one of the most incredible human beings to exist. More Life Beloved." What's more is that fans are still in shock at how good he looks at 50, for which he has some secrets.

"I exfoliate like a madman,” P told Dazed during a 2017 interview. “When you exfoliate and you drink a lot of water, that does good for you. To me, the key is just exfoliating, like a monster. There’s a lot of dead skin. All the time. Like a narcissistic madman." Regardless of his skincare routine, check out more from his trip down below and return to HNHH for more Pharrell news.
