Sitting down on\u00a0<em>Streetz Morning Takeover<\/em>, the self-proclaimed \u201cKing of R&amp;B\u201d pulled back the curtain on why fans won\u2019t be seeing him on stage for the highly anticipated lineup alongside heavyweights like Chris Brown and Usher.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While the internet had been speculating his absence, Jacquees admitted he\u2019d rather stay in his own lane than step down into a supporting role.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">During the sit-down, the radio hosts questioned his decision, noting that heavy-hitting vocalists in the game have shared the stage on major arena tours. Jacquees made it plain that his pride and pride in his own catalog come first, declaring, \u201cI ain\u2019t singing background.\u201d Standing firm on his stance, he broke down how he views his position in the game next to fellow artists: \u201cDid I want to be on the R&amp;B tour? Of course that would have been dope\u2026 I don\u2019t think I would have been singing background like Mario, you know what I\u2019m saying, and Tank and all that stuff. I would have wanted to hold my own.\u201d<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DbvXPQrkfxI\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">View this post on Instagram<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/DbvXPQrkfxI\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">A post shared by Streetz Morning Takeover (@streetzmorningtakeover)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When the hosts reacted to the fiery comment, laughing and warning him that the internet might spin his words as shade, Jacquees didn\u2019t sweat it. He quickly clarified that the respect is mutual between him and Breezy, but the boundary remains firm. \u201cShout out to Usher and Chris Brown,\u201d he said, reflecting on his tight-knit bond with Chris. \u201cCB, that\u2019s my brother. I came from up under his wing, you know what I\u2019m saying\u2026 but I ain\u2019t singing background. I want my own slot.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Even with his firm refusal to do background duty, Jacquees made it clear there\u2019s no real bad blood in the air, just business and self-respect.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">He admitted he still plans to hit up the show as an audience member to support his peers, jokingly adding, \u201cI\u2019m going to the show as a fan. Hopefully, they call me out the crowd!\u201d Whether you love his bold take or think he passed up a massive platform, Jacquees is holding his head high, proving that he\u2019d rather stand tall on his own stage than fade into the backdrop of someone else\u2019s headline tour.<\/p>\n<p><!-- CONTENT END 2 --><\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Welp, it looks like Jacquees is making crystal clear to the culture that he\u2019s not trading his spot in the spotlight to play second fiddle to anyone\u2026 even R&amp;B royalty.
