While many are still basking in the brilliance of the epic #VERZUZ showdown between SWV and Xscape, the former’s lead singer – Coko – remains a talking point.
During the first half of the battle, viewers noticed that the star seemed disengaged and somewhat distracted.
Addressing the matter, the 50-year-old agreed with the observations and explained why.
Her words below…
“Last night as I’m preparing for Verzuz, a lady was shot outside my hotel window. To see & hear the four shots, see her laying on the ground and all the blood was unbelievable!! Thennnn…I get to the venue and had a really bad anxiety attack!???? Literally crying & screaming. Yeah y’all saw me looking uncomfortable & irritated during the first half but, if it wasn’t for my son @jayyemichael@ynottamiya & @mrljb I probably wouldn’t have been out there at all. Thank you for calming me down & understanding my mental. I love y’all to the fullest!!❤️❤️❤️ I always say most won’t care to understand but when you get those that do cherish them!!???????? #mentalhealth#mentalhealthawareness#verzuz#swv#coko#myvillage”

Kudos to Coko for powering through and delivering a great show.



Coko = one of the baddest vocalists from the 90s ????
This was the most entertaining Verzuz by far!! Hopefully the new standard. ❤️
It was a great watch and she certainly participated with the rest of the girls in the second half ❤️
She made up for it for sure the second half
I thought she was being her usual self
Same…IRL she is stuck up, rude and arrogant
So glad she regrouped and came with that ???? in the second half, and had fun with it. The Verzuz was ????
