While Jazmine Sullivan made it clear in a recent interview that she doesn’t really want to say too much regarding Adele’s massive success amid the struggle for black R&B singers, K Michelle isn’t holding back when the subject comes up.
She recently spoke on the situation while at a Q&A session for her new music, she addressed Adele’s success.
When asked about saving the state of R&B music, she says:
“I think R&B is very important. They got white people singing our music. And blue-eyed soul, that’s some bullsh*t. Yeah, I said it.
“‘Hello.’ That’s some bullsh*t. Sorry, it’s a great song, great artist but if a black girl would sing that very song, it would not get played on the radio.”

And not one lie was told.
The crazy thing is K Michelle could be much bigger than she is if she would stop distracting people from her talent. We see her as reality star first and that’s a problem considering the girl really can sing and makes good music.
Agreed.
I think everyone with a brain can see what’s going on with Adele and Sam Smith, etc. It’s unfortunate because black artists are almost a dying breed now. I miss the era when multiple black artists were doing well and very visible…
K gets on my nerves but I agree with everything she said here.
She sounds salty…told the truth tho…
I completely agree but I want K to also understand the things she does on Twitter/IG aren’t helping her career either.
Don’t worry K, Empress Rih is getting ready to knock Adele off the charts. You’re welcome.
She needs to make some cross over hits and stop distracting us with her assets. I believe it takes away from her talent and I love K’s realness in her music. I am a big supporter of her ever since I saw her on LAHHA. I think she needs to do a duet with Adele or someone so she can be recognized as a mainstream artist, but I do agree with what she said.
K.Michelle where to begin darling lol it’s hard for an artist to stay buzzing having said that Adele just touched a nerve at the right time and is just either less vocal or just more cool if sista would just stop all the antics I’m pretty sure more people would support. As an artist in general it’s hard to keep the buzz up and keep folk buying if your time is up or something else is too distracting.
Black people seem to always be taking Whites under their wings. And what do they do, steal our music and run the other way!
