It was the rematch the world was waiting for and oh did it deliver!

Full story below…
Teddy Riley found himself at the center of worldwide trends and chatter last night when a planned Verzuz battle with Babyface collapsed into chaos.
The hitmaker’s overly robust setup stalled the duel early into the spar, when issue after technical issue arose.
And while his team lobbied for a 30 minute break, Babyface announced that he wouldn’t be returning, suggesting that they stage do-over when the circumstances were better.
Still, the disappointment was palpable and the memes were relentless.
After a brief silence, Riley has spoken out.
His words below…
The VERZUZ clash between Teddy Riley and Babyface was easily one of the platform’s most anticipated.
Yet, what was billed as a fun-filled battle of bops ended in an embarrassing melee.
Details below…
The battle of the bops continues! And this time, it was T-Pain and Lil Jon who squared off in a seismic showdown.
Taking to Instagram Live, the pair did battle with their biggest hits and were watched by more than 200,000 realtime.
Their duel is the newest instalment of a rapidly popular Verzuz series, which is being spearheaded by Swizz Beatz and Timbaland and has birthed spars between the likes of The-Dream & Sean Garrett, as well as Johnta Austin & Ne-Yo.
Check out clips and setlist below, and let us know who you thought won!
In 2020, R&B icons Brandy and Monica put those pesky rumors of rivalry to rest with a record-setting ‘VERZUZ’ that saw them showcase their respective greatest hits as well as come together for a rare performance of their history-making 1998 duet ‘The Boy is Mine.’
The unity displayed only increased calls for the GRAMMY winners to embark on a joint North American tour – a jaunt that was reportedly in the works at one time but was ultimately canned due to the global health crisis at the time.
And while years removed from the ‘VERZUZ,’ some fans – including Brandy’s own brother Ray J – are still holding out hope the ladies will align their schedules for a co-headlining trek across the continent.
From reuniting for the 2012 R&B hit ‘It All Belongs to Me’ to the 2020 VERZUZ, praising each other in their separate interviews, and more, Brandy and Monica – despite consistently reiterating there is no tension between them – seem forever tied to the beef of their teenage years.
When music lovers aren’t comparing the trajectory of their respective careers, fans are quarreling over who is better overall.
Tired of the nearly 30-year hoopla, Mo took to ‘The Hollywood Reporter’ recently to discuss her disdain for the discourse, admiration for B-Rocka, and so much more.
Including streaming and digital downloads in certification calculations at the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has not only helped a number of modern hits race to historic certification thresholds in record time but it’s also given many of yesteryear’s favorites some much-deserved shine.
The latest to testify to the aforementioned is 90’s R&B girl group Xscape.
As far as iconic girl groups go, no “greatest-ever” list would be complete without mentioning Xscape and SWV.
Now, just two years after rocking VERZUZ viewership records with their 2021 hit-for-hit duel, the ladies have decided to join forces again and hit the stage for the ultimate “one night only” showing – an affair chronicled in the new Bravo reality series, ‘SWV & Xscape: The Queens of R&B.’
Ahead of its March 5 premiere, the 90s hitmakers are pounding the promo pavement in its support.
Look inside to see them chat about their legendary careers, new reality show, and more on the February 27 episode of ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show.’
The hotly anticipated Xscape and SWV reality show is officially coming to Bravo this March.
And the first-look trailer has been unveiled.
