Jermaine Dupri says that he, Usher, and Bryan-Michael Cox are the "real big 3" amid Kendrick Lamar's feud with Drake and J. Cole. He did so in a post on Instagram 20 years after the release of Confessions. "20 years later, the real BIG 3, celebrating Confessions (Fun Fact ) the iPhone didn’t even exist when we made this album," he captioned a photo of the three of them.
Fans celebrated the iconic album in the comments section. One wrote: "Wow! Another fun fact about the statistics of this record. 'When it was released there was no social networking. Facebook was not even for public use and as a college campus network it was only created 7 wks before confession hit the streets.'" Another added: "A very well put together album… solid… iconic… valuable… stands the tests of time…. & no skips!"

Thank you for rocking with me through every lyric, every beat, and every confession. Thank you to each and every important collaborator that was apart of this very special project that helped mold and shape my career as an artist. Without you, Confessions wouldn’t be the masterpiece it is. Here’s to the memories, the vibes, and the timeless music that continues to move us.
