Luke James & Jacob Latimore On Dynamic Roles, 'The Chi' New Season, Relationships + More

[@necinewton7672]

Jacob Latimore does not get enough credit as an R&B artist. He has a great voice. ❤

[@larrymarshall8900]

Yes he's very underrated,people know him more from his acting roles than his music career. I can named 20 of songs more than his acting roles. He's kind of in tbe same category like Christina Milian. Some folks know her for movies and TV shows versus knowing her music.

Y'all Soo quick to say underrated then why do the series get renewed for a seventh season? There is nothing underrated about that

[@shuranalee7503]

⁠@@anthonytaylor7928 Underrated as in not well known…. I’m referring to Luke James specifically not the show. 🙂 Furthermore the fact that he stated in the interview, if you watched it and payed attention, that he is humbled when people don’t realize he can sing. The point is more people should know how amazingly talented he is.
