As the Diddy-driven debate about if “R&B is dead” rages on, ‘B.E.D.’ singer Jacquees – the genre’s self proclaimed King – is looking to put the topic to rest while also silencing critics of his vocal prowess.
See how inside:

Clearly a staunch supporter of R&B, Quees has made headlines for covering some of the format’s most beloved classics over the years including Brandy‘s ‘I Wanna Be Down,’ Donnell Jones‘ ‘Where I Wanna Be,’ SWV’s ‘You’re the One,’ Soul For Real‘s ‘Candy Rain,’ and many more.
Inciting a polarizing response in the process, at one time over 50,000 people signed a petition for the now 28-year-old to stop covering and remixing other artists’ songs.
Undeterred by the detractors, he never stopped rendering his mixed-reviewed renditions as evidenced by how he took to Instagram over the weekend to deliver a stirring snippet of Deborah Cox‘s 1998 award-winning signature song ‘Nobody’s Supposed to Be Here.’
Sharing his take on the tune’s soaring climax, press PLAY on the clip above to hear how he fared then head down below to revisit the original.

Excuse me?!!!! I’m not posting here anymore. Y’all were wowed by that?!!!
Yes He is the King 👑🤴🏽
…Of clown singers
Stuns? He sounds horrible. Lmao
I was stunned…that he sounded so awful!
Sing it! 🤣😂
Stun hell nah!!!! Y’all here on TGJ have horrible taste🤮
King Of R&B!!!
Of course I’m trolling.
But I have a soft spot for Jacqees. I think he’s adorable and he doesn’t seem PROBLEMATIC and messy like a lot of these other singers. He usually stays in his lane.
Sounds better than Beyonce ever!!!
Oh please. Shut your clown a s s up and go find yourself something to do such as standing right in the middle of the nearest freeway.
Is he serious with the tone and vibrato. He sings like a parody.
Black media needs to be talking about, T’yanna Wallace posting a 1 million Bond for “Boyfriend”
The gays & thee Black Americans need to gather her up.
Black ppl are NOT America’s guard dogs who you call on to attack.
Why would anyone gang up on her for that? 🤔 That’s her decision 🤷♂️ A dumb decision but it was her decision and most of all thats her business (and money). She’s the one who have to deal w that 🤷♂️ not sure why people would have to gang up on her for that
This!
Or at least hold the mother, father, uncle, aunt and grandparents accountable. Many of them already expect the Government or the entire Community to fix their issues. But True Tea don’t clean up after GROWN FOLKS.
Call somebody else. I don’t GAF about a T’yanna.
Smh. He is NOT the king of R&B OF THIS generation. Major work has to be done and MAJOR nods and EYES have to be given/on him… How has he solidified his name? Does he have several major hits and or anthems? I actually like some of his music but nah man… we need consistent HITS
It’s so cringy how he think he really can sing…like bro sit down…if Ramen noodles could sing it would sound just like that all struggley and noodley. Not sure who told him he can blow but he really can’t
He try too hard.
His beautiful voice warm my heart 🥰 King of R&B
Keep on impersonating my account Shayla, always on time whenever you are exposed.
He was flat on the most important note. He can’t hear that
I wish this f** would disappear ForEver he so fkn annoying can’t sing for s***
