This article talks about a young singer by the name of Jacquees, saying that he is the King of R&B. Many other singers and their fans took offense to this and they responded very sarcastically. The whole situation started from an instagram video Jacquees posted on December 9th saying, “(i) just want to let everybody know that I’m the king of R&B right now, for this generation.” Shorty after saying this, a major news profile for celebrities called “theshaderoom” posted the video where many other celebrities and people said their opinions, which were mostly negative.
One singer who responded to this debate was Chris Brown, he posted a picture on his insta snap saying “I’m loving all this R&B talk”, he also liked many of his fans comments that said he was the King of R&B. Another singer who responded was Tank, he posted a video of him singing a song with high notes and captioned it, “(i) don’t care who your KING is he just better be able to do this!”
This affected the black community because they took offense to Jacquees claiming such a huge title that he didn’t deserve. I honestly feel that Jacquees was being arrogant and just talking without thinking. He only has a three hit songs, meanwhile many other artists like Chris Brown, Trey Songz, R.Kelly, Tank have numerous hits, but Jacquees feels the need to call himself a king. I also feel like there are more important and better things to talk about than arguing over who’s the King of R&B.
