R&B refers to two distinct music genres.
Rhythm and Blues is a derivative of blues and pop from the 1940s mainly for a Black audience by Black artists. In its first years (and oftentimes since), it was used as a catch-all for Black music and a replacement of the term "race music".
Contemporary R&B typically follows the trends of modern pop and incorporates hip-hop more than blues. Pop is more similar to contemporary R&B than "classic" R&B is.

Joseph: Man I hate how people these days call Rihanna an R&B singer. Have they never heard Diana Ross?
Tish: That's because contemporary R&B is different, like how hard rock isn't Rock and Roll.

A play off the famous phrase, "I am Spartacus!"
The phrase comes from the movie "Spartacus" in which the Romans intend to kill him. In order to save Spartacus, all of his followers claim they are Spartacus, each one shouting, "I am Spartacus!"
The phrase is also known to be used in the movie "That Thing You Do" in which the main character, when feeling excited and/or on top of the world, shouts, "I am Spartacus!!!"
