R&B newcomer Jacquees has made headlines over the past year due to his incessant claims that he’s the “King of R&B.” Apparently, he’s had a bit of a change of heart because he’s now giving the title to two of his biggest influences, Chris Brown and Trey Songz.
Jacquees has left many scratching their heads with his boisterous “King of R&B” claims that have even spilled over into a recent beef with fellow R&B newbie YK Osiris. Although, based on a recent Instagram post, he has decided to acknowledge those who came before him—specifically Chris Brown and Trey Songz.
In a sentimental IG post, Jacquees wrote:
