Nobody mentioned Jaquees 
NPR said there hasn’t been a male R&B superstar since Usher. Is this true?

Superstar
Usher was the evolution of 90s era R&B, like hip-hop everything went to the south.
Chris Brown was up next until the Rihanna incident, but arguably Chris Brown set the standard for R&B going forward.
Omarion, Mario, Lloyd and whoever else wasn't goin' to do what Chris Brown was supposed to do and later did in spite of what happened.
Chris Brown fulfilled Diddy's R&B legacy starting with Jodeci:
Usher was the last of the polished male R&B acts.
A rapping male R&B act?
R&B got grimier charting with hip-hop, Chris Brown after '09 embodied that.

Superstar
He does. Thats why i feel like R Kelly is truly the last R&B superstar. My aunt was a music executive so i got to go to many concerts growing up and be in studios. An R Kelly, Gerald Levert, Dave Hollister, Luther, Mint Condition, Silk etc live performance showed me the difference between true R&B skills vs pop skills. I've been in a studio and watched K-Ci go the fukk off. Usher fits both R&B and pop because he came out in the 90s and had that training and competition to mold him. Im not dissing CB but when it comes to true R&B skills i cant put him up there. He aint nowhere near that. When you talk superstar, i compare superstars to superstars of the past.

If someone says Justin Timberlake, titty, Super Bowl, and you don’t know what they are referring to, then it’s you who needs the age check.

Justin Timberlake walked away from that situation unscathed.
He proceeded to perform at The Grammys and his next album was sexy back futuresounds or whatever that sold millions of recordsJanet’s career was derailed by the head of CBS afterwards. That’s a fact. There are people who never forgave The Super Bowl shyt based on the reason the white boy got to proceed like absolutely nothing happened
If you’re young just say that
It is r kelly but the bytch you responding to hates him so don't expect an honest response but it is him
