The Internet continues to run wild towards the end of 2018.
Leading up to Christmas, Ricky Fields, a man from Spartanburg, South Carolina, created a Change.org petition in a laugh out loud effort to ban Jacquees from making covers of classic R&B Hits. The petition has gone viral on social media. Within a few days, it has racked up more than 40,000 signatures from others with the same thoughts as Ricky.
Among the songs Jacquees has covered in the past were:
- Chris Brown’s version of “This Christmas“
- Ella Mai’s “Trip“
- Michael Jackson’s “Dirty Diana”
- Beyoncé’s “Bow Down”
And of course there was the Keith Sweat encounter:
One supporter wrote: “He must be stopped! He disrespected Keith Sweat, then I just heard his Dirty Diana cover. The boy has gone mad! Plus he dresses like a toddler.”
Another supporter wrote: “He did the NE ‘If it Isn’t Love’ choreography in his video for ‘Candy Rain’….everybody know you sposed to do the Candy Rain dance. This ni**a tripping!”
Folks have been going in on Jacquees for the past few weeks. This was due to him going on social media earlier this month and calling himself the “King of R&B” for the current generation. His assertion offended fans of R&B music. Fans of the genre have not taken his comment lightly.
Three weeks later and Twitter is still going in:
Jacquees done made August Alsina come out of retirement 😭💯
