Halle Berry Puts An End To Social Media's 'King Of R&B' Debate, And Twitter Has Her Back

Did the Oscar winner settle the score for good?

R&B rookie Jacquees has been feeling his oats lately, as he confidently dubbed himself the King of R&B. Since his post went viral, his comments sparked a social media-wide debate with several other musicians chiming in to share their thoughts on who the most deserving talent is, in their opinion, to bear the title.

The latest A-lister to do so is Academy Award-winner Halle Berry, who gave her a valid suggestion with a tinge of shade.

In response to the 24-year-old's lofty self-proclamation, Berry took to Twitter to express that, in fact, the late Prince is the real King of the genre.

"Me watching these Clearly-Not-Prince singers argue over who the King of R&B is..." she wrote.

Take a look, below:

  • Almost immediately after her tweet went live, it garnered a slew of supportive sentiments from other Twitter users agreeing with her words.
