Georgia Southern students gave Jacquees an unexpected response during the university’s homecoming concert on Friday, November 6, when they loudly rejected his offer to perform new music and demanded his hit song “B.E.D.” instead.

The R&B singer was performing at the Jack and Ruth Ann Hill Convocation Center in Statesboro, Georgia, when he decided to test the crowd’s interest in hearing some of his newer material. Jacquees asked the audience if they were ready for some new music, probably expecting an enthusiastic response.Instead, the crowd shouted one very clear answer: “No!”
The unexpected rejection didn’t stop Jacquees from trying to convince the audience. He assured concertgoers that the new music was a vibe, seemingly hoping they would give his latest material a chance. However, the students had already made up their minds about what they wanted to hear.
And they weren’t being shy about it.
Rather than entertain the possibility of hearing something different, fans began yelling for “B.E.D.,” the signature record that helped establish Jacquees as a recognizable voice in modern R&B.

What started as individual requests quickly turned into an organized chant.
“B-E-D! B-E-D!”
The Georgia Southern crowd repeatedly called out the song’s title, making it nearly impossible for the singer to ignore their request. With the audience refusing to budge, Jacquees eventually gave them exactly what they wanted.
As soon as he started performing “B.E.D.,” the energy shifted. Concertgoers began screaming the lyrics, joining in on the familiar melodies and even delivering the ad-libs alongside him.
Suddenly, the same crowd that had loudly turned down his new music was fully participating in the performance.
The moment was especially memorable because Jacquees has been actively introducing fans to another chapter of his career. In July 2026, he released “Mood 2,” a 22-track project arriving a decade after the original “Mood” mixtape.
The newer project features collaborations with Tink, Juvenile, Blxst, Kodak Black, K Camp, and other artists. Songs such as “Physical,” “Lick Back,” and “Let You Go” represent the material Jacquees has been promoting as he continues expanding his catalog.
However, the Georgia Southern audience appeared more interested in revisiting the record that helped launch his mainstream success.
Originally featured on his 2016 “Mood” mixtape, “B.E.D.” became one of Jacquees’ defining hits and later appeared on his debut studio album, “4275,” in 2018. The record also reached the Billboard Hot 100 in 2017, introducing his sound to an even wider audience.
A decade after its original release, the song still has enough recognition to inspire an entire college crowd to chant its name.
Jacquees wasn’t the only major artist scheduled for Georgia Southern’s 2026 homecoming celebration. The concert also featured K Camp and Moneybagg Yo, bringing together R&B and hip-hop performers for one of the university’s biggest entertainment events of the week.
The evening also carried a personal connection for Jacquees. His manager, Johnathan Sims, is a Georgia Southern alumnus, making the appearance a return to familiar territory for someone on the singer’s team.
Although Jacquees has continued releasing music and building his career, his interaction with the students showed just how strongly audiences remain attached to the songs that originally made them fans.
He came prepared to introduce something new. The students came prepared to sing a favorite.
