An argument erupted in TheShadeRoom's comment section between Tank and Yung Bleu as the two discussed if the rapper had the right to call himself the king of R&B. According to Complex, the whole ordeal stems from a tweet calling Yung Bleu the next possible king of R&B since "this brotha make bangers only.”

After the tweet was shared on Instagram, Tank jumped into the comments section with a clear objection to the idea.

“I’m glad I’m from a different generation cause y’all wild,” he said, adding three laughing emojis.

Yung Bleu didn't take too kindly to the "When We" singer's comments.

“Another episode of a bitter old n***a!” he wrote in response. “Tank u still waiting on that verse that’s why u mad. U supposed to be a Og! U commenting on shade room acting like a female.”

“Don’t worry, I’m not interested in being labeled as no king of r&b I’m about to be a real Super Star soon! I don’t say shit to y’all dudes I be in my own world. I already felt your weird energy that’s why Ian record to that wack ass song,” Bleu added. 

Shortly after, Tank changed the tone of the conversation, posting a video assuring his followers that he has no major qualms with Bleu.

“Only thing I was communicating to him in that text that you guys saw is, ‘Hey man, communicate what you feel,’” he said. “I do my best to make my word my bond. For those that I’ve ever fallen short of my word, I apologize.”

“This generation throws the king and queen around like you don’t have to earn that,” Tank continued. “You how many years and how much success it takes to earn the title of king or queen. You know how long Mary J. Blige worked? You know how long R. Kelly worked? Do you understand how long Usher worked to get those titles? Chris Brown? You know what, I’m done.”

Yung Bleu responded to the video asserting that he could find himself worthy of the title with time. He also called out the fact that Tank has only received two plaques throughout his decades-spanning career. 

“I never did anything but gave u your flowers just answer me one thing,” Bleu wrote. “Seeing that I have more plaques than you and sold more records. What make you more legendary than me? Time right? Give it time!”

“Ima real talent! I can be legendary within my own generation just like you were,” he continued. “All these songs I wrote 100%. NO help ‘except baddest!’ All I’m saying! But it’s no beef bro I wish you nun but blessings u a legend but that dnt mean ima stop tryna be one also.”
