Maybe @KammyTaughtYou really does believe that Sade is an overrated singer, all while propping up Jhené Aiko ahead of the legendary vocalist, which is her right to do so. Naturally, Twitter united as expected to effectively drag the young woman by her neatly parted wig piece.
In a series of tweets, @KammyTaughtYou opened up with disrespect intact as the youth often do with the legends.
“TL sleep? Y’all give Sade a lot,” read the missive from Sunday (August 30). She continued with, “Sade is thin & light skinned & was humming on them tracks. At least Jhené gives us DRAMA,” which is where he argument goes completely to hell.
Without taking away from some of the expert responses from actual music listeners, and of course, taking nothing away from Ms. Aiko and her contributions to music, we’ve gathered some of the best responses to this explosively bad hot take about the great Sade Adu (remember, the band’s name is Sade) below.

Hmmm… Some of y'all (not all) don't have any reference for an artist like Sade. You've never listened to jazz. U don't know anything about torch song singers. We can blame our school system steadily ending music programs, no historical context. It is what it is.

this should go on the mount Rushmore of bad takes. First the colorism argument is…questionable, 2nd Sade can SANG. Jhene (who I enjoy from time to time) is not even in the same league. "Is It A Crime" >>>> Jhene's entire catalog.

Jhene whispers toxic phrases over beats while doing shrooms. Sade is soulful, sensual, smooth &rough. One is 30% Black and says nigga more than a lot of unambiguous BW. The other is half Nigerian and croons about everything from love, abuse, poverty, infatuation, heartbreak, etc.

Not you comparing Jhené’s sex starved whispers to Sade’s novel R&B innovative soundTHEN making it into a colorism argument.

You’re earning the hell out of this ratio. How about Jhené and Sade are two different artist with two different deliveries and I am a fan of BOTH? There isn’t a need for competition. But if there was, Sade is untouchable so, I wouldn’t attempt it.

Wait…Sade, who minds her own business and gives us amazing music once every decade, is trending because someone trashed her?
Who? I can't figure it out.
