Random! Not only does R. Kelly do R&B, gospel and pop joints, he also dabbles in reggae music from time to time. The song “King of the Dancehall” was co-written by R. Kelly with the help of Beenie Man of course, and Maurice Gregory. And though it did decently well (80 on the Billboard Hot 100, 22 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Rap Tracks), it created a lot of controversy and beef between Beenie Man and reggae/dancehall artist Yellowman. Yellowman accused Beenie Man of trying to come for what he felt was his crown as the “King of Dancehall”:
“‘Everybody know seh Beenie Man is a fool. Him tryin’ to mek people feel like him was here before me, but him never deh here before me.'”
Right…right.
