T.I. has recently done an Instagram live session where he talked about the potential Verzuz opponents.
“If 50 Cent don’t do it, give me anybody swagger like us, anybody who was swagger like us. I don’t think anybody can beat Lil Wayne but I answer all callers. Eminem would be dope to, I f**k with Em…If Fifty don’t wanna do it, I will deal with it.” said Tip.
Eminem and T.I has previously collaborated on two occasions: “Touch Down” (2007) and “That’s All She Wrote” (2011).
Both artists have many hits on their belt, but can T.I. really compete Eminem? Check out the Instagram live below:
Last year in May, rapper and podcast host N.O.R.E. said Eminem is interested in taking on DMX in a ‘VERZUZ’ battle. N.O.R.E. took to Instagram where he claimed that Eminem and DMX are prepared to face off against each other for ‘VERZUZ’.
Posting a picture of him and DMX playing a giant game of Jenga, he wrote: “This moment is so Legend !!! 3 minutes before this @therealswizzz CALLS X and says Eminem is down for that smoke and X SAY HE CAN GET BUT I STILL WANT JAY HAHA SO CLASSIC BEHIND THE SCENES SHIT SORRY IF I WASNT POST TO SAY NOTHING but I had to DMX VS SLIM SHADY??? What y’all think??? I’m riding wit the DOG!!!”
While some still waiting for this battle to happen, DMX is fighting for his life right now! Prayers up for, DOG!
Late in 2020, talk of Dr. Dre battling P. Diddy really started heating up and Swizz Beatz and Timbaland seemed open to the possibility that it could happen. Today during The Breakfast Club interview, Swizz Beatz has revealed that Dr. Dre was actually set to announce his participation in a VERZUZ battle, but backed out last minute:
“When Dr. Dre was not feeling the sound from Teddy Riley and Babyface, that hurt our heart. Oh my God… He was supposed to come at the end and announce that he was gon’ do VERZUZ that night… He got on the phone, he was like ‘man, I can’t be a part of nothing that sound like that, my legacy is quality’. I was like ‘oh, we just lost Dre’… that one felt pretty crazy.”
We might witness the greatest Verzuz battle so far as The Game is down to battle 50 Cent.
In a new interview on Power 106’s “L.A. Leakers,” The Game said he was inspired after watching Gucci Mane and Jeezy squash their beef during their Verzuz battle about a month ago.
“That moment let me know that me and 50 is a possibility. That იs what gave us hope. And I აm pretty sure 50 watched that like, ‘Yeah, it is possible.’”
“Me and 50 been in the room twice since we both shot at each other. Both times we had interactions, we tried to figure out where it went wrong but we were in a club twice and that was not a conversation that you could have in depth in that circumstance.”
“Verzuz is something that I’m entertaining, but just so you know, as soon as I saw 50’s interview, I went to my notes and I wrote down 25 records that I feel that I can run up. I made a list of 25 that I can handle some s**t with.”
The Game also praised 50 Cent’s catalog: “There is enough on those first two albums for him to be able to do a Verzuz and have an amazing outcome with anybody in the game because those first two albums were so monumental. “Get Rich or Die Tryin’, you could literally play that from start to end and that could be his Verzuz.”
The Compton rapper also talked about himself: “It is only one artist alive that has more number one hip-hop albums than me and that is Drake. I made my rounds. It is an impeccable career inside of music, outside of music.”
“As far as Verzuz is concerned, that is the only person I would entertain doing a Verzuz with because it just makes the most sense and nobody else can really go with me. I am not sure that we gon’ do it, but if we do, I’m definitely down to sit in a room with him and have some Le Chemin Du Roi.”
Few weeks ago, 50 Cent said he’s down for Verzuz battle against The Game so we might see some legendary s**t for the culture. Watch the interview below:
The second season of Verzuz Battle kicked off with record-breaking Gucci Mane versus Jeezy. Since then fans have been wondering which battle will be next and we just might be getting closer to the clash of two music titans: Dr. Dre and Puff Diddy.
During a recent interview with TMZ, Timbaland and Swizz Beatz spoke about their unbelievably successful show with Instagram Live and Apple Music, talking about the possibility of a fight between Puff Diddy and Dr. Dre, which might actually be in the works.
“Now that’s something different. Everybody has these magical wishes that they want to see on Verzuz but the universe has been bringing these magical wishes so I can not even say what is not gonna happen because a lot of the Verzuz, just like the last one we’ve seen, everybody said that it could not happen. Right? So now, we just let the universe naturally make things happen.”
“I am not not gonna say no about Dr. Dre and Diddy battle. I am never gonna say no anymore.” says Swizz Beatz. Watch the video below:

Last Weekend, Wack 100 made a public call to 50 Cent and The Game to participate on the Swizz Beatz and Timbo led production show. Fiddy is down for it but he did lay down the specific rules:
“If you think about, from my time period, there is nothing that can match that run. You know what? Look. Okay, The Game can not play no records with my voice on it. He got some hits. It would be interesting.
“The Game got some hits. It would be interesting.”
– 50 Cent
Fifty continues: “As much as we argued and fought in the early stages, I would rather see him benefit from the momentum than someone else. He was still part of G-Unit and is gonna be a part of the legacy of, overall. Even if you just wanna concentrate on the break up.”
Hot Boy Turk has recently went live on Instagram to make sure that nobody comes close to Lil Wayne’s album catalog, including heavy hitters like Jay Z, Eminem and Busta Rhymes. Turk says:
“I put up my little brother Lil Wayne against any one of you ni**as. Old school, new school, whatever school. None of your catalog can f**k with Wayne. Period. Lil Wayne against any one of you ni**as. Jay Z, T.I., The Game, Busta Rhymes, Eminem. Ni**a whoever!”
Turk even went further and said that they can’t win against Lil Wayne even if they were all together. You can watch the video below:
Legendary hip-hop artist Busta Rhymes, who has new album out right now, has publicly named the rappers that he wants to challenge on Verzuz battle and they are some heavy hitters. Possible opponents include Eminem, Jay Z and Lil Wayne.
It was rumored that T.I. and Busta Rhymes were going to clash each other on Verzuz but it didn’t happen. Busta told Complex magazine: “These are all glorious moments. We’re celebrating each other and having fun and we getting the opportunity to show some competitive sh*t.”
“The nature of what this culture has been built on from the very beginning is to be competitive, whether respectfully competitive or disrespectfully competitive continued. But just for the record, I never asked to do a Verzuz with T.I. — this was presented to me by Joe Crack.” added Busta Rhymes.
In the same interview, Busta revealed who he really wants to battle: “I do not want to do no corny Verzuz. I would not do one with anyone whose catalog is not crazy. I would love to do a Verzuz with somebody I am a fan of…I would love to do a Verzuz battle with Eminem, I would love to do a Verzuz with Lil Wayne. I would love to do a Verzuz with Hov (Jay Z).”
“I would love to do Verzuz battle with somebody I am a fan of. I would love to battle Eminem.” – Busta Rhymes (Nov. 5, 2020)
Eminem and Busta Rhymes have previously collaborated on tracks several tracks that include: “Calm Down” (2014), “Touch It” (Remix) (Live) which also featured Mary J. Blige, Rah Digga, Missy Elliot, Lloyd Banks, Papoose and DMX (2006), “I’ll Hurt You” (2005) and “Hail Mary” which also featured 50 Cent and is a diss track towards Ja Rule.
