Before He Passed Luther Vandross Revealed 6 Musicians He HATED The Most

Описание: Was Luther Vandross really the King of Love Songs—or was he secretly the most feared perfectionist in R&B? On stage, he was velvet smooth, a voice that could melt an arena with just one note. But behind the microphone? Luther was throwing shade that could cut glass.

He clashed with legends like Teddy Pendergrass, Anita Baker, and even Barry White. He walked out of recording sessions, sabotaged rivals, and wasn’t afraid to let the industry know exactly who he thought didn’t measure up.

This is the side of Luther Vandross you never saw—the side that turned ballads into battlefields, and love songs into low blows.

When most people think of Luther Vandross, they picture candlelight, roses, and a soundtrack for falling in love. He was the “velvet voice,” the man who made slow jams feel like personal love letters. For decades, fans believed he was this gentle, soft-spoken soul who floated above the industry drama, too classy to get caught up in petty fights.

But that image? That was a carefully polished illusion.

Behind the scenes, Luther wasn’t just chasing perfection—he demanded it, and anyone who didn’t meet his sky-high standards quickly landed on his bad side. While fans were swooning to Here and Now, insiders were whispering that Luther was one of the hardest artists to work with. Musicians dreaded studio sessions, producers tread lightly around his opinions, and even record labels sometimes had to bend just to keep him happy.

The misconception came from Luther’s public persona: always smiling, dressed immaculately, singing about romance and devotion. But away from the cameras, he had no problem dismissing other singers as “too raw,” “too flashy,” or “all style, no substance.” And the shocking part? He wasn’t shy about sharing those opinions—whether it was with reporters, insiders, or even face-to-face with the very artists he was criticizing.

Fans believed Luther was simply the voice of love, but the truth was… he was also the sharpest critic in the room.

Here’s the part fans never wanted to admit: Luther Vandross wasn’t just the king of love songs… he was also one of the most cutthroat critics in the game.

While audiences saw him as the smooth balladeer with silk suits and roses on stage, insiders knew he was quick to slice a fellow artist’s ego to pieces. And unlike most singers who would smile politely and play the political game, Luther actually said the quiet part out loud.

Luther Vandross wasn’t just the “Velvet Voice of R&B”… behind the curtain, he was one of the industry’s most feared perfectionists. From legendary feuds with Teddy Pendergrass, Anita Baker, Barry White, and Freddie Jackson, to behind-the-scenes clashes with producers and rumors about his personal life—this is the untold story of Luther’s sharp edges.

Was he protecting real artistry, or just impossible to work with? Today, we dive into the scandals, drama, and secrets behind the ballads.
