VERZUZ has a new home.
Moments ago, founders Timbaland and Swizz Beatz jointly announced with Elon Musk that their groundbreaking series will now be housed on X (formerly known as Twitter).
Full story below…
Per the newly minted partnership, VERZUZ will now be distributed exclusively on X.
After requiring their equity in the platform after a previous pact with Triller, the hitmakers return to owning 100% of VERZUZ.
Streaming for free on X, it’s been confirmed that the next VERZUZ battle will be announced soon.
Swizz said in a statement:
“We are beyond thrilled to have found the best partner for Verzuz. Not only are we excited to have Verzuz on X, we’re excited to help X build the biggest entertainment company in the world. I would like to thank Elon Musk, Linda Yaccarino, Brett Weitz, Mitchell Smith and the entire X team for believing in the Verzuz vision. We can’t wait to get to work.”
Timbaland added:
“We are thrilled to partner with X, the most innovative platform globally. Our goal has always been to bring Verzuz to the world which we can now do bigger than ever.”
X CEO Linda Yaccarino concluded:
“X is so proud to partner with trailblazing creators, artists, and entrepreneurs Swizz Beatz & Timbaland. Our platform stands at the forefront of innovation, and Verzuz defines the essence of an innovative content experience. As we continue to work with the most exciting voices to bring premium content to X, there is no better fit than this series. Together we will redefine how consumers engage with their favorite entertainment, one Verzuz at a time.”
Exciting times!
I love me some Timbaland. Love to see him collab wit Taylor swift or Beyoncé.
