Verzuz, the online battle of music titans, has taken all the way off in recent months.

And the fun-filled spars have sparked ample debate about which acts should go head-to-head next.

One of the most demanded by fans has been a showdown between divas Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston – possibly with a known figure representing the late vocal supernova who died in 2012.

However, per Verzuz co-creator Timbaland, other plans are underway as relates to Mimi.

Since its onset, #VERZUZ has been a social media phenomenon that’s not only locked some of Urban music’s most beloved characters in a hit-for-hit duel but also seen fans create fantasy versions to assess how their faves would fare if squared.

As it’s been a critical knockout for the slew of big names who have graced the platforms to date, calls for prospective contenders have only risen and include names like Chris Brown (click here to read more), Usher, Beyoncé, Keyshia Cole, Ashanti, and more.

Among the names thrown in the ring for a potential battle is 2000’s rapper Bow Wow.  Despite previously asserting openness to battling fellow emcee Fabolous, the ‘Bounce with Me’ beau has since retracted said interest even as fans are pushing for a round-for-round bout with Soulja Boy.

Once our friends at TSR shared Bow’s latest weigh-in on the prospect, Timbaland – one of the #VERZUZ creators – offered a criticism that must’ve gotten under the ‘Growing Up Hip Hop’ star’s skin.

Social media was on fire this weekend with debate about who would win a #Verzuz battle between R&B titans Usher and Chris Brown.

So heated was the discourse that both artists trended all day on Twitter.

And while such stan spars tend to result in the actualisation of the battle, that won’t be the case here – says C. Breezy.

Alicia Keys has been in activism overdrive and we love to see it.

While hot on the promo trail in support of her recently released memoir, ‘More Myself,’ the diva watched her two singles – ‘Underdog’ and ‘Good Job’ – unexpectedly become anthems for healthcare and frontline workers amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Now, she’s setting her sights on erasing racial inequality and seeking justice on behalf of slain Louisville, KY healthcare worker Breonna Taylor.

Taking to Trevor Noah‘s ‘Daily Show’ Monday (June 15), the 15-time GRAMMY winner discussed Taylor as well as her forthcoming #VERZUZ battle against fellow GRAMMY winner John Legend.

After many expressed disappointment over the #VERZUZ platform’s first group vs. group battle (Jagged Edge vs. 112), the ladies are looking to pick up the slack.

The highly anticipated Jagged Edge vs. 112 battle on the wildly popular #Verzuz platform may have made history for being its first ever group vs. group showdown, but – like many combatants before them – the encounter was plagued with technical issues, namely on J.E.’s part.

Making them the subject of ferocious roasting on Twitter for their poor audio quality, the hoopla eventually reached the desks of the phenomenon’s creators – Timbaland and Swizz Beatz.

As a result, the duo are enforcing new rules to ensure such never happens again.
