Should R. Kelly Still Be Named King Of R&B?


Although everything that surrounds R. Kelly today is controversy, how can you deny the King of R&B his spot? What artist carry more hits than Kellz? R. Kelly has been named by fans consistently as they engaged in the debate over which male artist currently sits on the throne.

Even legendary comedian Dave Chappelle jumped in to add his insight into the discussion. Captured on Instagram, Chappelle acknowledged R. Kelly as the undisputed “King of R&B.” Jacquees is undoubtedly making some incredible music right now, with his 2018 album '4275' seeing him work alongside the likes of Chris Brown, and Jagged Edge.

R. Kelly is an artist that has more than the average tumultuous past. R. Kelly is considered one of the most successful R&B artists of all time. He was once a white-hot hitmaker that most artists clamored to work with.

He is credited for helping redefine R&B and hip hop, earning the nicknames "King of R&B" and "King of Pop-Soul". A native of Chicago, R. Kelly began street performing during the late 1980s and debuted in 1992 with the group Public Announcement. In 1993, Kelly went solo with the album 12 Play.

Thats without a question his work speaks for itself he has earned it. I love Tank, D'Angelo and Prince but R. Kelly is my all-time favorite and nobody will ever come close to him. From stage presence to his vocal ability and creativity in the studio nobody can match what he has done or will do in the future musically. R. Kelly is the only male artist who can sing different styles/genres while everyone else sticks to one thing or tries to copy other people shit. So yes the undisputed King of R&B is R. Kelly

He is and will always be the King of R & B!! He is the best performer that has grace the BET stage. He knows how to sing. He makes you feel his music. He make Jungle music sound good and he even made a song out of Cookies. He shouldn’t be and no music performer should be judged based off the words to there songs they are performers. R Kelly I love you and your music. #Sethimfree
