Rodriquez Jacquees Broadnax[2] (born April 15, 1994), known mononymously as Jacquees (/ɑːˈkwis/ jah-KWEESS),[3] is an American R&B singer from Decatur, Georgia. He signed with Birdman's Cash Money Records in 2014,[4] and first gained recognition with his 2016 single, "B.E.D."; the song peaked at number 69 on the Billboard Hot 100 and received platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[5]

His 2018 single, "You", saw further success on the Billboard Hot 100 and received double platinum certification; both the song and "B.E.D." preceded his debut studio album, 4275 (2018), which moderately entered the Billboard 200. His second album, King of R&B (2019), peaked at number 20 on the chart, while his third, Sincerely For You (2022), narrowly did so.
