Playing games is exactly what some Twitter commenters are accusing fans of Summer Walker of doing when they asserted the 25-year-old – who boasts only one studio album to her credit to date – is the ‘Queen of R&B for her generation.’
What’s more, the measure was co-signed by Walker, who took to social media to repost the praise.
Needless to say, it ignited a firestorm of debate.

After sharing the fan-appointed, ‘Queen of R&B’ honorific titling (as seen in the pic above captured by our friends at TSR), Walker supporters hopped to their fave’s defense after a number of critics weighed in with stark disagreement.
See highlights below:
Y’all need to stop 🛑!! First comparing Drake to Michael Jackson-King of Pop! And now comparing Summer Walker to Mary J. Blige-Queen of Hip Hop & R&B! 🤦🏾♂️ pic.twitter.com/i2ktDj03b3

Keyword: this generation. If you aren’t of this generation u can’t dictate their favs and Summer is one of them! It damn sure ain’t Normani or Chloe Bailey…..
Fall Crunches couldn’t even perform and was begging to go back to her normal life, how is the Queen of R&B with one album no brought but streamed?
Toni Braxton and yet to relinquish her title of Queen of R&B, so no, she is NOT! 🙄
Has yet to relinquish*
her debut album is great but why people use words like “queen” and “legend” to artists with only one album is really lost on me, it makes no sense
Y’all use those words for a certain artist with NO album (Normani) so sit down, loser.
Umm no. Kehlani is this generation’s queen of r&b
Funny that the real queen Mary j blige is in the studio with her x London on a track
Of this generation, Jazmine Sullivan is the total package. Writing, Vocal range, live performance. A lot of these chicks can’t compare.
