Usher Answers R&B's Burning Question: Who's The King of R&B? Is R&B Dead? | CLUB SHAY SHAY

[@childofthemosthigh22]

To echo the room R. Kelly, one of the greatest R&B Arte's but he damned his self. No one in Hollywood will speak his name with positivity.

[@zacmirza6498]

Funnily enough, Mario and Jacquees have

[@rikkidgermano9640]

Every serious R&B singer still thinks highly of Kellz, artistically speaking only! He wrote, produced and sang for decades on the highest level and was a superb singer live. How many of those who crown themselves King of R&B can still do that?! Exactly.....

[@Mr504BLACKMAN]

Michael Jackson was accused of the same thing including admitting to sleeping in the same bed as kids but most people will defend him because he's Michael

[@justinlong5589]

Tank does and I'm sure Usher thinks musically highly of R Kelly but his list was old old school wasn't like he picked anybody from the 90s era!!

[@pearl0818]

@rikkidgermano9640 I would say there were 2 decades where he was king.

[@michellewills426]

You can put Michael in r&b he started off as pure r&b and transition to pop when he was an adult. Usher Mt Rushmore is awesome. Usher Baby!! ❤️❤️

[@youngelevated1569]

He’s not top r&b, he’s the king of pop

[@Tyler-zo6sm]

King of pedophiles sure

[@dormiovibes]

Usher low-key plugging his song titles in the interview to get them streams up.

[@rahbeeuh]

I was thinking the same thing 😂

[@criticalthinker8345]

Usher does not have to say Kelly’s name … the people will say it for him… R Kelly is undeniably the King of R & B . His songs , soundtracks and hits for himself and others are etched in our minds forever. There are many generations that are intoxicated by his music. You can’t even say R & B with out thinking of him!

[@Tyler-zo6sm]

King of pedophiles

[@silambarasan__rajendran]

R.Kelly is king of R&B Who writes and produces his own music without collaboration for himself and others and he writes everything R&B, Gospel, Soul, Hip hop.

[@DLex912]

He also wrote checks to the parents of the underage women he molested.

[@zacmirza6498]

Usher said he looked up to r Kelly and said he was a mentor when he was at the 98 Grammys.

[@joshuajones5021]

To not have R Kelly on the Mount Rushmore of RnB is totally disrespectful. His contribution to the genre is indelible

In "real life" lol? Girl, just because ya'll still listen to his pedo music doesn't make him King. His music ain't doing the numbers of Michael or Stevie and those songs are not only still in rotation and breaking records TODAY, but released 20 years before R. Kelly's peak so how is that your argument? Off the Wall is a pure r&b album and still selling more than any R. Kelly album to date 😅

R Kelly truly is the king of R&B , its just that he's canceled so no one is allowed to publicly make such a statement. The reason he is the king is because there is no one younger than him who is greater than him, usher is great but he's defintely not more soulful than Robert Kelly. He sang effortlessly with soul and wrote and produced all his own stuff and SO MANY OTHERS, songs that he still has credits on TIL THIS DAY that yall still listen to if u listen to R&B in general, how can that be denied. u wont find that in ushers discography, he has a pop element which is ok bcus its versatile and works for him. R. Kellys 90s albums ALONE created a culture of R&B in the hood that has yet to be surpassed. The North remembers!
