R&B Singers React To Jacquees’ ‘King of R&B’ Claims

Jacquees kicked up a LOT of internet dust when he claimed the crown of King of R&B earlier today. Obviously, several O.G.s (and J. Holiday) didn’t take too kindly to this new jack placing himself in the top spot.

But it wasn’t over! More R&B heavy hitters weighed in on the chatter of whether or not Mr. Trip Remix gets to throw his hat on the throne. First, let’s see what Eric Bellinger and Usher had to say about it all. Spoiler alert: it’s mostly giggling at the thought.

John Legend had more concise and constructive input on the matter:

Of course, The Pied Piper wasn’t going to let any conversation about the younger generation pass him by…

The Dream kept his shade lowkey, but said wtf he had to say:

Bobby V gave his $0.02…

August Alsina entered the chat…
