Hillary Clinton stepped off her plane and hit the campaign trail in North Carolina with hit music producer Pharrell Williams on Thursday after he said concerns about her 'honesty' have been blown out of proportion. 

The 43-year-old hit-maker is helping to campaign for Clinton and urged women to vote for the first female president. 

The pair were photographed Thursday getting off her plane at Raleigh-Durham International Airport before heading off heading off to attend a rally.

The recording artist helped Clinton greet anxious students at North Carolina Central University prior to the start of the rally. Once inside, they took the stage alongside Sen. Bernie Sanders, as Pharrell's hit song 'Happy' played.  

As the days wind down to election day, her campaign has used some of it's most high-profile supporters, including Pharrell, on the trail to help boost her support. 

On Tuesday, the record producer said that Clinton has been 'dishonest' while speaking at Variety's Inclusion summit at the Montage Hotel in Beverly Hills, California.

'Has she been dishonest about things? Sure. Have you?' Williams said of Clinton. 'She don't lie no more than any other politician does.'

He said that concerns about Clinton's 'honesty' in the wake of the email scandals, was an example of ingrained sexism against a female politician. 

'You don't realize that you're being gender biased,' he said. '"Well, I don't trust her," but you trust him? 

The Happy singer publicly backed Clinton for president back in March 2014 and has also been an outspoken critic of her opponent Donald Trump.

Pharrell said that he hoped that the women of America could come together and 'save this nation' after the divisive comments Trump has made, 'not just about my culture, but about women.'

'You think about the destructive things that have come from mankind, it's mostly men.'

While he declined to refer to the candidate by name, the Grammy winner said that even the Republican's slogan, Make America Great Again, had dark undertones.

'It's not a code, it's blatant,' Williams said of the slogan. 'It made me not want to wear red white and blue for a while, that rally. Those things that were being said...

'Are we going to let this other situation take over and remind us what 'great' used to be?' he asked the audience.

'If all the women in this nation decided to vote and support the first female candidate, there'd be nothing to worry about,' he said.  

The singer joins a host of other celebrities who have pledged their support for Clinton, including Katy Perry, Girls creator Lena Dunham and Lady Gaga.

Pharrell is due to join Clinton's campaign trail on Thursday for a rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, alongside Senator Bernie Sanders. 

The singer had previously predicted the Democrat would win the November 8 election, saying 'Let me tell you why she's going to win.' 

Pharrell was at the summit to promote the film Hidden Figures; the story of a team of African-American female mathematicians who provided NASA with the data for its Mercury and Apollo programs in the 1960s.

The singer, who helped produce the score for the movie, said he hoped the movie would shine a light on their invaluable contribution - which was not acknowledged at the time.
