Two of R&B’s most familiar voices ended up in a confrontation, and FreddyO’s camera was rolling when it happened. Kyle Norman of Jagged Edge and RL, the lead singer of Next, got into a heated exchange that turned physical, and the video above shows the moment as it unfolded — no narration, no spin, just the scene itself for everybody to see.
Both men come from groups that helped define an era of R&B. Jagged Edge, the Atlanta quartet built around twins Brian and Brandon Casey alongside Kyle Norman and Richard Wingo, gave the game a string of hits including “Let’s Get Married” and “Where the Party At.” Next, with RL out front, reached the top of the charts with “Too Close” and followed it with records like “Wifey.” For fans who grew up on both groups, seeing two of their members in a dispute like this is the last thing anybody expected.
What led up to the exchange is not fully clear from the video alone, and we are not going to speculate about what started it or take sides in it. What the footage shows is a tense confrontation between the two singers, with the people around them stepping in as the situation escalated. Kyle has more to say about what happened — in the related video below, he speaks about the fight, his personal struggles and the new Jagged Edge album the group is working on, in his own words.
Watch the video above and look at the gallery, including Jagged Edge talking about their Unsung episode, their new album and a movie in the works. However you feel about what happened here, both of these men are part of R&B history, and we hope the two of them can settle whatever is between them off camera.
