Georgia singer Jacquees has never been shy about talking up his talents, and he made his boldest claim yet when he posted a video proclaiming himself to be the best R&B performer currently going.”I just wanna let everybody know that I’m the king of R&B right now,” he said.
“For this generation, I understand who done came and who done did that and that and that, but now it’s my time. Jacquees the king of R&B.”
Given Jacquees’ relative lack of stardom, and the fact that he has not yet notched a hit song of his own, many were quick to give him grief over such a bold statement. This wasn’t limited to R&B fans either, as fellow singers, and those who could realistically make a better case for being the “King of R&B”, decided to step up and roast Jacquees for his claims.
Both Trey Songz and Ty Dolla $ign responded to singer’s post on Twitter with a laughing emoji, indicating that neither hit-maker was particularly threatened by what he had to say.
