Recently, R&B singer Tank made headlines for commenting on a tweet that The Shade Room posted from one of Yung Bleu’s fans, stating, “Yung Bleu might be the new king of R&B. This brotha only makes bangers.”.
Tank replied to that post, saying, “I’m glad I’m from a different generation cause y’all wild,” adding laughing emojis.
Following the recent viral success of his feature with Drake, “You’re Mines Still,” Yung Bleu took to social media to call Tank “bitter.”
“Another episode of a bitter old n####! Tank u still waiting on that verse that’s why u mad,” Bleu claimed. “U supposed to be a Og! U commenting on shade room acting like a female.”
In addition, Bleu posted a screenshot of Tank asking him to send in a verse for one of his tracks.

Tank Clarifies His Stance Regarding Yung Bleu
AllHipHop spoke with Tank before his performance at Famelive’s event at the Globe Theater in downtown Los Angeles, which kicked off LA Fashion Week. Tank clarified his position regarding the tweet Yung Bleu made proclaiming himself to be King R&B.
The “Please Don’t Go” singer is familiar with Yung Bleu’s work. Therefore, he had nothing but kind words to say about him.
“Oh yeah, I know him. I have his number, so I support him,” Tank told AllHipHop. “Listen, and even after the exchange, I have no ill will toward the kid. I still love his music. His song came on the radio today, and I turned him up.”
The song he heard was Yung Bleu’s collaboration with 2 Chainz and Chris Brown, “Baddest,” and “Collaborative Lies,” featuring Kehlani.
Tank continues,
“I love anybody, especially my young, Black kids that are being successful, that are not in the hood doing no dumb s###.”
New Album Coming
Tank is preparing to release his new album, “R&B Money,” in terms of his own music. Furthermore, he is undertaking a headlining tour to promote the project. A fan favorite, “I Deserve,” will also be celebrated as his No. 1 record.
Tank’s love for fashion was evident before he hit the stage when he sported a Mastermind top with Bottega jeans and a YSL shirt.
