The wildly popular #VERZUZ platform has been one of the most culturally relevant movements to hit the music scene in recent years.
Streamed live on Instagram, YouTube, and later, Triller, the Swizz Beatz & Timbaland-curated virtual phenomenon has paired some of Hip Hop & R&B’s most prized performers in a hit-for-hit duel to celebrate their legacies and respective discographies.
As music lovers continue to urge their faves to join the #VERZUZ hall of combatants (see prospective battlers Mary J. Blige, Toni Braxton, Mariah Carey, Missy Elliott, Janet Jackson, & more), Valentine’s Day brought with it news the fruition of those requests will come with a price.
