It’s been almost 20 years since Jennifer Hudson and Fantasia competed on American Idol and both went on to win the hearts of the world with their respective successes.
Indeed, across music, film, and television, the Idol alums have graduated into becoming two of entertainment’s most towering talents.
Now, two decades on, talk is brewing of a celebratory spar between the vocal powerhouses on…VERZUZ.
Full story below…
After initial murmurs, Swizz Beatz broached the topic during a recent visit to ‘The Jennifer Hudson Show.’
For, when the return of his and Timbaland‘s game-changing platform was brought up, he teased J.Hud about a match between her and Fantasia – much to the excitement of the studio audience.
Hudson responded:
“That’s what y’all want? I mean Miss Fantaia done shot a whole movie that I’m excited about. When she’s done with that and when I’m done shooting here, we may get to do that. We’ll see!”

Fantasia has hit songs tho. 🤔
B**** make up your mind do you want to do a talk show or do you want to sing
Did Crackney want to smoke crack or did she want to sing? 👀
keep smoking crack and worry about it
But Whitney’s last album sold a couple million.
B**** make up your mind do you want to sing or do a talk show
She’s delusional… a Verzuz against Fantasia with what hits exactly… no shade but JHud doesn’t have much of a catalogue. Fantasia say whatever you want about her but she has R&B classics and a deep discography.
Truth Is
Free Yourself
Ain’t Gon Beg You
When I See You
Bittersweet
….just to name a few destroys Jennifer Hudson’s entire catalogue or whatever you wanna call it lol. Fantasia has the music thing on lock, Jenn has her other endeavors…
They should absolutely do the verzuz — and bring out Latoya London and George Huff too.
The fact of the matter is that Jennifer and Fantasia are inextricably linked in the public’s mind. Coming together at this moment would be mutually beneficial and uniquely powerful.
It doesn’t matter who wins. Grab some headlines and sell some records.
LaToya London’s debut record is ITTT!!! 🔥 she deserved so much more 🤧
Verzuz is dead. The original pandemic format was the most entertaining. And like it’s already been stated, J. Hud doesn’t have the hits or catalogue to go against Fantasia.
Even if she did a versus with Jazmine Sullivan she would still lose
I can only think of one non Dreamgirls song of hers – “Spotlight”.
Jennifer , you don’t have the hits. Fantasia would and will beat you . Plus, isn’t Tasia retired anyway?
no she working on 2 new albums
Jennifer no baby no. You don’t have enough songs to support a Verzuz
Two dusty musty flops. Hits where? Spotlight and When I See U, then what? 👀
Truth Is, Bittersweet, Free Yourself, Lose to Win, Without Me, Got Me Waiting, Ain’t Gon Beg You, Sleeping with the One I Love, I Nominate You, hell even Collard Greens & Cornbread…I can go on…she is definitely more than “When I See You” 💁
OK BUT IF YOU ALL HERE SAY FANTASIA HAVE HITS OVER HITS THEN KELLY ROWLANDHAS SUPER HITS BECAUSE SHE CHARTED ALL AROUND THE WORLD WITH HER EDM RECORDS CHARTED WITH A LOT OF HER RNB SONGS IN THE US SOOO NOW YOU ARE SAYINF FANTASIA HAS A BUNCH OF HITS BUT NEXT TIME YOU GONE CALL HER A FLOP YOUR COMMENTS DONT MAKE SENSE!
Kelly Rowland has nothing to do with the discussion. A Fantasia v JHud Verzuz would never work simply because JHud doesn’t have a big enough catalogue of music period.
For poor people, this is about winning and losing
For the rich, this is about making more money.
The bit c h obviously would lose. A toddler could tell u that.
U all sound stupid, think broader or you’ll always be fat and dumb
🤣🤣🤣
Lmfao..why is this so funny?😂😂
I burst out laughing at the “fat and dumb” comment. lmao.
Jennifer’s Hot 100 total – 6
Fantasia’s Hot 100 total – 7
Jennifer’s Top 10 total – 3
Fantasia’s Top 10 total – 4
They are pretty evenly matched. Some of y’all just weren’t paying attention.
both ashy flops can eat s@hit
Jennifer is an EGOT, Fantasia doesn’t even have a Soul Train Award but y’all being shady hmmm I guess so🤔
Some of us don’t care about those fake award bc I swear to you I don’t..Fantasia still kills Jennifer when it comes to HITS
FYI Fantasia is also a Grammy Award winner. Cute attempt though.
That doesn’t reflect poorly on Fantasia. That makes soul train look crazy because how the hell FANTASIA ain’t got a soul train award?
Bye Jennifer…the only song that I can think of that I actually like and jam by you is “Think Like A Man” other than that I can’t think of any other song like that but when it comes to Fantasia I can name damn near every song off each album track by track…even her smallest hits “I’m Doing Me” “Baby Mama” “Hood Boy” crash anything Jennifer Hudson has done music wise…even that song she got with her mom crush everything Jennifer has done…you ain’t fawking with Fannie PERIYUD!!
what is j-hud going to sing? dreamgirls on repeat?
Enough said, honey child!
Oh, Hell Nawl.. that would be the loudest most hollerin’ azzed duo concert that will ever exist if that happens.
How about both of them agree to be silent? Don’t get me wrong, they both can sing…..but just to mf loud.
Bout, blown out my ear drum hearing them sing in my head. #cancelthem
