Never doubted he was talented,but never thought he had star power either.....Couldve been a few different things,timing of course is one....Also dont think he made rnb that was relateable to nikkas,which the most succesful rnb dudes of this past era have done that...Trey was definitley more relateable in his early career,and Chris got there at his peak.....also i dont think he was desirable to older or younger women,and thats kindve what his lane turned into during his era...its the "we fukking or not" era of rnb if women aint tryna fukk you wasnt finding success in his lane....he probaly shouldve been in a adult contemporary,alternative type of lane to begin with....marketing him towards young girls who was looking for sex symbols/singers probaly was a bad move....i always kindve fukked with Lloyd here and there though.

From one off his interview from like 2014. He mentioned going through a lot of personal problems, particularly a family member dying

I think it wasn't just him I think they got rid of R&B completely. I mean why would we pay you just to sing and dance. When we can pay a rapper to rap, sing and dance? That's probably how the elite looked at it. Think about it there was no real R&b like that except for Robin Thicke and of course he going to get some push but besides him the rappers been singing.
