Jacquees is having a really bad week.
After being dragged to hell and back on social media for delusionally declaring himself the King of R&B and almost getting body checked for trying to roll up on Keith Sweat, now a six-year-old video of the singer remixing Soul For Real’s “Candy Rain” has resurfaced online, thanks to @GeorgeFoster72 tweeting it out on Thursday.
Not surprisingly, the public reaction to this tomfoolery has been less than welcoming.
From folks threatening to conjure Heavy D’s ghost to calling the 24-year-old “disrespectful” to clowning the New Edition choreography, here are some of the best tweets about this remake we’ve seen so far.

Y’all created Jacquees, hyped him up and gave him the confidence to ruin “Candy Rain” and the choreography from “If It Isn’t Love”.
— Cameron Richardson (@therichreport) December 21, 2018
Y’all should be ashamed of yourselves for building up “artists” like this.
