My ex-boyfriend and I weres back stage at concert in LA over 12 years ago and he (Jon B) was the kindest person. May God continue to bless him and his family..

[@lateshiachilds3640]

That is amazing I also got to meet him backstage back in 2011 at a concert in San Diego along with singer JOE. Jon B was so sweet and Joe.

[@Carling2001]

Dude is mad cool. He finished a show in a small club in Charleston sc got off stage came over to our section and had a drink and chatted. I was like wth? He stayed for 20 minutes and said "I appreciate the love." It was surreal.

He got that swag! And a beautiful deep voice so handsome. Great music.

[@deelite732]

I had all his music in middle and high school ..underrated R&B artist..

[@Lanibluv]

Great story about the Tupac collab. This mans heart really is in R&B, "Cool Relax" was an amazing album through and through but Jon's other work is just as solid. His discography is so good, he's one of the very few R&B artist whose catalogue I have in it's entirety (every single one down to the latest single ft Donnell Jones). If you haven't listened to "Pleasures You Like" and "Stronger Everyday" (which definitely deserved more promo) go listen!

[@lavaughnblanding3968]

John B lost that voice he’s exposed on KZbin can’t sing anymore terrible plus Soul doesn’t come naturally with vast majority of white folks cause they don’t have any soul yet they can get inspired n convert just as we can convert to their watered down spiritual beliefs unfortunately that is the case with us not all of us colored folks are willing to sell our eternal Souls that thru the fire Soul power in exchange for water spirit Plus one note in these days n times we not supposed to mess with these humans as most of our ancestors that screwed up our divine bloodline from race mixing that’s a curse we paying for n it’s what started viruses etc cause we are 2 different species that’s why the white man put out condoms in 20th century yet secretly know we colored people are not human short for humanimal there’s 3 comprised n the half breeds mulattos aka greys they started playing on us in the 70s to keep us co dependent desire the want to fit in n remain at the bottom the minority which helps keeps these whites in authority at the top their agenda for the bronze copper colored female since they are dying out put their puppies in her breed mulattos look at that Debarge family n see what you sistas can expect all of them children got raped by their cave beast dad The mother got beaten by their dad that’s the animal in his DNA n all them children got locked up as adults on drugs

Jon B is an R&B legend I been bumping his music forever. this was a dope ass interview. Just realized that Vlad missed one important question. Drake sampled Jon B on his highest selling album Take Care on the song “Cameras”. I wonder what was that conversation like with him and Drake, and does Jon B get royalties from that song, or did Jon B bless him and just let him use it? Cause knowing Drake, he would of still threw Jon some money for clearing the sample lol
