Fabolous’ 2003 track “So Into You” returned to the headlines last year, after the rapper tried to explain why Ashanti  and Tamia appeared on two different versions. Although Fab and Tamia seem to disagree on what really happened, Ashanti has finally shared her side of the story—and it’s a pretty simple explanation.  The singer addressed the matter during a recent appearance on Hot 97′ […]

At this point, it would be hard to think of an artist who hasn’t been thrown into the hypothetical Verzuz battle pool. Yet during an appearance on ESPN’s Jalen & Jacoby, the platform’s co-creator, Swizz Beatz, revealed his dream match-up.  “My dream one…I wanna figure out how to do (Tupac) and (The Notorious B.I.G.) in a way that the people […]

The most recent Verzuz battle between Ashanti and Keyshia Cole garnered a large reception after fans had been anxiously waiting to watch the matchup for weeks after two unexpected delays. 21 Savage was one of those fans, as the rapper tuned in with the other 1.1 million viewers to watch the event.  Like the rest of us, 21 was enjoying every […]

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 […]

Ashanti and Keyshia Cole’s Verzuz battle has been delayed once again. Verzuz’s official Twitter account made the announcement on Friday, citing Wednesday’s events in Washington D.C. and surging COVID-19 cases as the rationale for postponing the event. “This has been an emotional week,” Verzuz wrote. “In addition, as COVID-19 numbers continue to increase, safety is […]

Royce da 5’9″ has become Eminem‘s de facto buffer when it comes to frivolous beef. This was on full display when the rapper addressed Benzino for dissing Em and his loyal fanbase.  Royce took to both Instagram and Twitter on Tuesday where he trolled Benzino for living in the past. “I can’t wait till Benzino get […]

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 […]

Fans were concerned when earlier this month, Ashanti confirmed she had contracted COVID-19. She’s now shared an update about her health. The singer took to Instagram on Thursday to express her gratitude to her followers for their prayers. “Hey y’all. Just wanted to say thank you so much for all of your thoughts and prayers,” […]

At this point, almost every opponent has been thrown at 50 Cent for a potential Verzuz battle. Although he doesn’t seem too interested in this virtual fade, he does think one match-up should take place.  On Monday, 50 went on Instagram Live to promote his Branson Cognac by having a candid conversation. During the talk, 50 […]

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 […]
