Wu-Tang Clan members Ghostface Killah and Raekwon are facing off against one another in a Verzuz battle. Verzuz co-creators Swizz Beatz and Timbaland announced the showdown on social media and have been promoting it ever since. Back in February, D’Angelo hit the stage at the legendary Apollo Theater in Harlem for a special Verzuz event. Rather than going up against another artist, D’Angelo performed songs and brought out guests H.E.R., […]
After weeks of anticipation and multiple postponements, Keyshia Cole and Ashanti‘s Verzuz battle went down Thursday night; however, it didn’t get off to the smoothest start. The long-awaited livestream was scheduled for 8 p.m. ET, but didn’t begin until about an hour later. Viewers didn’t hesitate to express their frustration on social media, especially after the artists seemingly rushed through rounds in the […]
Though it’s been squashed for years, the Nas vs. Jay-Z feud has become an indelible chapter of hip-hop history. Most fans know that the storied beef stems from a series of incidents in the mid-1990s, following the release of Jay’s debut album Reasonable Doubt and Nas’ sophomore effort, It Was Written. However, it wasn’t until 2001 that the feud reached its […]
During an episode of the I Am Athlete podcast that was released on Monday, guest Rick Ross continued his nearly dozen-year-old feud with 50 Cent by implying outright stating that 50 can’t make good music…either anymore, or without A-list producers. The topic came up when hosts Channing Crowder, Fred Taylor, Brandon Marshall, and Chad Johnson brought up the idea […]
Despite the title, Verzuz was built on celebrating catalogs of established artists and promoting unity. It has also been the platform for media-promoted beefs—like the past tension between Brandy and Monica—and street confrontations sparked by music (Gucci Mane and Jeezy) to be laid to rest. Still, it’s highly unlikely 50 Cent and Ja Rule would ever amicably […]
The Game says he’s willing to step into the Verzuz ring, but will only do so if his opponent is 50 Cent. The West Coast rapper explained his position during an interview with the LA Leakers on Tuesday, saying there were simply no other rappers who he would be even consider going head-to-head with. He points to their decades-long history, which […]
Verzuz has revealed that its last battle of the year will feature Too Short and E-40. “Y’all know we had to do a BIG holiday party!” read the caption on the official Verzuz Instagram. The face-off between the two West Coast icons is set for Dec. 19 at 8 p.m. ET. Too Short rose to fame in the […]
Tonight’s much-hyped Verzuz battle has, unfortunately, been pushed back. Hours before the event was scheduled to take place, Ashanti took to Instagram to announce she had tested positive for COVID-19. The R&B singer and Keyshia Cole were expected to go hit-for-hit in the same venue; however, Ashanti’s diagnosis has obviously squashed those plans. “Hey all, I can’t believe I’m saying this but […]
It’s happening: R&B legends Keyshia Cole and Ashanti will go hit-for-hit in the next Verzuz battle. The showdown was announced on Friday afternoon, following months of teasers and growing speculation. Cole hinted at the battle in an Instagram post back in May when she shared a fan-made chart that compared her long list of hits to that of Ashanti’s. Cole tagged the “Rock Wit […]
Gucci Mane has announced he’ll be facing off with Jeezy in an upcoming Verzuz battle. “Tell buddy Get ready Thursday Nov 19 @verzuztv Trap God vs Snowcone,” Gucci captioned an Instagram post of the event’s flyer. However, it appears that the alleged battle is taking place at the same time as the already-announced Verzuz with […]
