Jacquees plays himself again.
The rising R&B star, whose 2018 was rocked by backlash over his reportedly unauthorized use of newcomer Ella Mai‘s hit, ‘Trip’ (click here to read), has tripped and fallen into yet another well of criticism.
Earning side eyes from the likes of Usher, R. Kelly, Trey Songz, and more, the 24-year-old ‘B.E.D.’ beau was damn near read to sleep after stars and fans alike responded to his claim of being this generation’s ‘King of R&B.’
See some of the hilarious and unfortunate responses inside:
See: Tank, Tyrese, Usher, and more respond in the video
R. Kelly simply posted a cryptic picture of himself on the throne.
Even Wendy Williams weighed in:

R. Kelly, Usher, and Joe are the king of R&B have several seats. Jacquees who??? even j. Holiday, Omarion, Mario Lloyd are above you????
AMEN! Who is Jacquees?? Everybody knows who R. Kely and Usher are. When you have 0 greatest hit albums under your belt you are not King. Period.
Ugh. All these corny delusional folks be having imaginary coronations and crowning themselves. ? Sir. I. Need. To. See. Your. Receipt’s!
Chris is apart of your gen. But he ain’t even the king of r&b. And this guy is nowhere near that. They get one hit or a semi hit & start tacking these labels to themselves.
Are U DUMB????? Chris Brown is most definitely the King Of R&B especially for this generation. He is to the 2010s what Usher was to the 2000s and R.Kelly was to the 1990s. The biggest male r&b artist of their generation. They pushed R&B further into the mainstream culture and they are the most influential artists to many male acts pop & r&b. Just say your not a CB fan and go but don’t you dare your ignorant dumbass try and say such a false statement. With all these consistent hits, features, selling out arenas, no r&b artist is giving Chris a run for his money. Bruno is pop and had only 1 R&B era & Trey is only 2nd to Chris. Everyone on Instagram,Twitter, The GP kno that those 3 (R.Kelly,Usher,Chris Brown) are the mount Rushmore of R&B! FACTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The delusion!
You have to respect all the men of R&B that laid the foundation.
The time line would go something like this:
Teddy Pendergrass/ Marvin Gaye / Smokey Robinson/Al Green/ James Brown/Sam Cooke
Honorable mention: Barry White, Curtis Mayfield, Ronald Isley
Stevie Wonder/Luther Vandross
Honorable mention: El DBarge, Keith Sweat, Bobby Brown
Usher/ R. Kelly/Maxwell
Honorable mention: D’Angelo, Ginuwine, Tevin Campbell, Musiq
Chris Brown/ John Legend/Bruno Mars
Tf?!?! ??? King of R&B?!! Chile…you haven’t even had a top 10, top 20, top 40, hell, you haven’t even bubbled under the Hot 100 yet and you think you’re the King of R&B?! I guess he thinks R&B stands for Ribs & Barbecue because SURELY he doesn’t believe he’s the King of Rhythm and Blues. I just can’t deal with this! ???
Ribs & Barbecue ? ? ?
This is sparking a great discussion. First I wanna say that none of these dudes have a ‘confessions.’ Usher is at the top of my list. But I think it would have to be broken down to sub categories lol. King of R&b songwriting-Ne-Yo, r.kelly baby face, John legend. king of R&b charts/overall entertainer usher, Chris brown etc..king of R&b vocals-maxwell, Luke James etc…
Jacqueesha is delusional ?
“I’m not valet baby, not with a Gucci jacket on.” Hilarious!! I think most if not all the male artists who responded are in on it to start a discussion and draw interest back to r&b projects. It’s all in fun. Listening to what he said though, he’s talking about right now to this generation of young people. Usher and R. Kelly are NOT considered current kings of r&b if you ask the average person between 14-21 years of age. The sales prove it. More people would look at Sam Smith and Bruno Mars and MAYBE Ne-Yo before Usher and R. Kelly. That’s just the truth whether you agree or not.
Mostly everyone from that age group 14-21 is saying that Chris Brown is the King Of R&B, not no damn Ne-yo (Flop) and Sam Smith & Bruno Mars are pop singers.
I think you need to relook the definition of truth and reaffirm the meaning of opinion in your memory.
Boy bye..every time you perform live your background vocalists drown you out! they are the real kings…your court jester at best.
Who is Jaquels? He’s a Jackass for saying some dumb stuff like this. STFU. YOU MUST BE ON DRUGS SAYING SOME S*** LIKE THIS
Wait who?
R Kelly says hello ?
I had to google him. I’ve never heard of him. He’s never even had a top 10 hit on the R&B chart….. All of his songs peaked below the top 60 on the Hot 100… What is he the king of????!

“B.E.D.” #30
