It appears as if Jacquees has received more pushback than support for his 'King of R&B' proclamation, where now it looks as if Keith Sweat can be added to the list of artists unwilling to give the self-assured singer their endorsement.
During Atlanta's V-103 Winterfest concert, TMZ tracked down Keith Sweat backstage, where he was told by a reporter that he's the real 'King of R&B.' Although it appears the legendary singer was going to brush the compliments aside out of humility, he was then surprised to see Jacquees right outside his dressing room.
"Now I'm the King," Jacquees said to Keith Sweat as he approached the camera, "This the King from back then, I'm the King from right now, this is Keith Sweat, 'Big Sweat,' but it's 'Big Quee.'"
Although it appeared to all be in good fun, Keith Sweat didn't seem to appreciate being likened to an artist from yesterday and corrected the record by saying, "I'm still getting that bag, I don't know what he's talking about."
Not one to back down, Jacquees rebutted by saying "he's getting a bag but 16 to 25 is my generation, I'm the King," before walking off and apparently leaving Keith Sweat at a loss for words.
The reporter then asked Keith Sweat if he was willing to pass the torch, to which he didn't reply while his management told TMZ to "cut the camera off."
