Rick Ross and 2 Chainz went head-to-head in a Verzuz battle in August, but it sounds like Rozay wants to go another round — this time, with T.I.
Last week, Gucci Mane announced he would, in fact, face his longtime foe Jeezy in an upcoming battle, replacing Tip who was originally scheduled to take on The Snowman. Seizing the opportunity, Ross hopped on Instagram Live and made it clear he and the Hustle Gang boss have a score to settle.
“Check this out… Tip got unfinished business,” he says in the clip. “Rozay got unfinished business. And after this event, mhmm. It’s time for us to weigh the work. We gotta weigh the work.”
In a recent interview with The Breakfast Club, Jeezy revealed Gucci initially declined to do a Verzuz battle with him.
“I was like, ‘Swizz if I do it, it’s only one person I’ll do it with,’” Jeezy explained. “And he was like, ‘Who?’ and I was like, ‘Gucci. Reach out to him. Let me know what’s up.’ I did that. I reached out, Swizz hit back and said he respectfully declined. Cool, kept it moving. I was gonna do it for the culture. We could have did it for the culture. I hung up the phone, three minutes later – that’s when I seen my brother video calling me out.”
Evidently, Gucci had a change of heart — despite previously saying he’d only do a Verzuz battle if he was paid $1 million. But that doesn’t mean everything is all rainbows and unicorns between the former rivals.
Gucci Mane Taunts Jeezy With Instagram Meme Reminder Of Killing His Friend
On Tuesday (November 17), LaFlare taunted Jeezy with a savage meme, reminding him he shot and killed his friend Pookie Loc in 2005. But that coldness is nothing new for Gucci. In a December 2019 interview with Charlamagne Tha God, Gucci expressed zero remorse for the killing.
“[Pookie Loc] needed to be in the ground,” he said. “I put his ass where he supposed to be. He tried me. If somebody comes he and try to kill you, yeah you know it’s self-defense … you gotta do what you gotta do.”
The Jeezy versus Gucci Mane battle is expected to take place on Thursday (November 19) at 5 p.m. PST.
Is there any one else who thinks verzuz battles are boring as fuck ? Instead of playing old ass songs everyone already heard, they should be debuting new albums. The rules should be a 10 track album where each entire track gets played. The 10 songs can have pre-chosen topics to ensure the music is fresh and not some old shit out of the vault. It could be an album debut battle and the winner could be determined by actual album sales within 24 hours from one offical verzuz source. (No merch bundles allowed) Who else would be down to see verzuz go in this direction ?
Nah homie….. it’s just you
And times are rough so there’s nothing wrong with merchandise bundles
New times and people are hustling very well
I agree for newer/underground artist with limited catalogs that would be amazing promotion. These Verzuz battles are supposed to be 100% nostalgia. Play a song, tell a unheard story or two about making the song ect. Just tired of hearing over and over again for the culture. While it is, lately the term seems more like a tactic used to guilt people into doing things they just don’t feel like doing.
Phuck the battles. The collaborations showcase immense talent. Can they still do it? After all the drama? Blacks divided enough already. I’d pay Gucci and Jeezy and Boo a milli each to do one song that could top So Icy if I had it.
Nah you tripping the shit is dope and filled with new stories from legends. Yes some of them are lame as fuck like the jadakiss battle. But most are pretty entertaining
No way lil fucken Wayne let’s see them duel in this quest an who crowned king of rly rival rap artist
