lol I said the same thing in my post, but not as clear and straightforward as you did. Good shyt.
Edit: Rep off so can't rep you smh
If you followed R&B back in the day, it was competitive. Al B Sure, Keith, Christopher Williams, and others and Bobby was just shytting on all them dudes in real time.
He was taking home all of the awards, head lining many tours, had the block buster soundtrack hit, had the women,
Dude had a cartoon I wanna say.
Dude was printing money, That Don't Be Cruel album was a monster and you just had to be alive to understand Bobby's fame.
Keith may wanted to do a tour, sent production, etc. Bobby probably swayed away. Bobby's ego was up there. Lol
Again, I'm just guessing but it's something
