Usher Says a Jermaine Dupri and Diddy ‘Verzuz’ Would Be a ‘Great One’

Usher has weighed in on the proposed Verzuz showdown between Jermaine Dupri and Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Dupri took to social media this week to seemingly challenge Diddy to a music battle, saying the Bad Boy Records boss will “need some training for me.” Diddy responded to the video by declaring Dupri an unworthy opponent, and that the only artist he’d go up against would be Dr. Dre.

Fans and hip-hop figures, including T.I., pushed back against Diddy’s bold statement, insisting Dupri had accumulated enough hits to take on the NY legend. They pointed to his work as a recording artist as well as the slew of classics he helped produce for acts like Mariah Carey, TLC, Bow Wow, Xscape, and, of course, Usher.
