Trey Songz: R. Kelly Took Aaron Hall's Whole Style

Though Trey Songz claims that he has no animosity towards R. Kelly, he continues to criticize the controversial crooner in interviews. In the Apri/May issue of Vibe magazine, the 'Say Aah' singer called out Kelly, saying that he blatantly stole from fellow '90s R&B artist Aaron Hall.

"People say, 'Well, I hear a lot of R. Kelly in your music.' So what?" Songz told Vibe. "R. Kelly took Aaron Hall's whole style. Two albums straight ... You can say what you want about me."

The beef between Songz and Kellz began when Kelly responded negatively to the younger artist's remix of his epic 'Trapped in the Closet' single, dismissing Songz, saying "Elephants don't swat flies," and warning him to "be very careful." Songz responded by stating that Kelly's use of Auto-Tune "disappoints me. If throwing rocks at the throne wakes up the King, consider them thrown."

While the two artists have kept their dispute quiet thus far, Kelly has a history of angering fellow artists, including former collaborator Jay-Z, whom Songz is opening up for on his 'Blueprint 3' tour. Kelly has yet to respond to Songz' recent insult, but if the past is any indication, we're sure to hear something from the volatile crooner shortly.

I agree with what Trey is saying...but feel it was not his place to say. That being said if he feels he is willing to challenge R.Kelly then let the games begin.I heeard both diss songs and liked them both.

Trey Songz is doing exactly the same thing all of his music his R Kelly on it. I think it's just jealously on his part because he knows that he will not have the longevity that R kelly has had and is still having.

ITA..Trey need to stop, I don't care what he thinks of Kells, if he last another 3yrs it will be a miracle, I'm being nice with the 3. He's very Jealous of Rob..he been in the game for 20yrs. IMO Trey songs is a Youtube artist at best. He need to stop. Kelly did the Song "Grub on" for him, and this is what he gets????? I will always and forever support Kells in everything he do.
