Please Refer To Usher As The “King Of R&B” Because He Claims He Deserves The Title

Today, we must finally rip the title of “R&B King” away from Bobby Brown and rightfully hand the bouquet of flowers and sash to Usher, because he’s tired of everyone not putting respect on his name when it comes to who the true King is. And since he’s been singing and spinning across stages since before he was old enough to drive Usher demands his subjects give him the title now and bury this topic once and for all.

ET Canada reports during a recent interview on Sirius XM’s Bevelations, host Bevy Smith brought up the topic of Usher being the King of R&B and you can tell he’s tired of having this conversation. He’s probably not as tired as Jason Derulo is for constantly being mistaken for Usher. However, in Usher’s mind, that’s the way it should be because there truly is no competition in the category. And honestly, when the term was first coined back in the 90s Usher was too young to lay claim to the throne because he would have received a pat on his head followed by “Scram kid!”. But that was over twenty years ago, and the current offering of male R&B singers all sound like horny teenagers from a community center talent show. Therefore, Usher is ready to take the crown and keep it upon his head for the rest of his life.

‘King, whatever you wanna call it. Yeah, I’ve been working to the point where I do own that, and I do deserve that,” Usher told host Bevy Smith. “And I ain’t gonna ask for it no more. You’re gonna give it. Because I did work for it.”

Mainly the topic came up because Diddy (can we still call him that?) claims R&B is dead and we should all get used to a life where real music no longer exists. And this is when Usher swung his cape around to address Diddy’s foolishness by letting us all know R&B will never be gone as long as your King can still make panties hit the floor with his smooth, crock pot tender vocals.

“So when I do hear people, even like Puff [Daddy] saying, ‘You know R&B is dead.’ He sounds nuts to me,” Usher said. “It sounds, it sounds, it sounds crazy. You know, especially knowing he was a pioneer in understanding and beneficiary of it. You know, the source that is R&B created the breath of life that was breathed into hip-hop. It wouldn’t be.

“There would be no hip-hop if there were not R&B, so it’s blasphemous to hear me say, to hear people say anything, especially hip-hop cats, to say anything about R&B.”

Well, that settles it. Usher is now our forever King and if anyone tries to usurp him they will be met with a microphone slap to the back of the head. But then again those sound like the kind of rowdy antics we could expect if Chris Brown was the King. And that would be the saddest dynasty ever.
