Jacquees, born Rodriquez Jacquees Broadnax on 15 April in Decatur, Georgia, is an American R&B singer. A Decatur native who sang in talent shows from childhood, he signed to Birdman's Cash Money Records in 2014 and released the EP 19 that year. His breakthrough single "B.E.D." (2016) reached No. 69 on the Hot 100 and was certified 2× platinum; the debut studio album 4275 followed in 2018 on Cash Money and Republic. His second album took its title from his self-proclaimed crown, King of R&B (2019) — a claim that drew public debate — and peaked at No. 20 on the Billboard 200; Sincerely For You followed in 2022, and he is a member of Rich Gang. His birth year is contested between 1994 (Apple Music biography) and 1995 (Wikipedia) and is carried here unresolved.
