As for Usher, aside from incessant herpes jokes over the years from his song “Burn,” he is highly respected in the R&B world. His notoriety is often debated, especially as many discuss who a viable opponent would be if he was to participate in a Verzuz.
Earlier this year, the artist reacted to the title “King of R&B,” a title he recently said he is more than willing to take on, although some fans believe that R. Kelly is a better suitor.
“I mean, you call me that, I’ll definitely carry it,” Usher said in an interview with Bevy Smith. “I’m a tilt my crown knowing that I’m standing on the shoulders of all of the icons of our time.”
Usher named Michael Jackson, James Brown, Teddy Pendergrass, Barry White, Luther Vandross, Ronald Isley, and more as icons he looked up to who paved the way for him to ascend to the top of the genre.
