The next Verzuz battle has been set for next month and this time, 2 Chainz and Rick Ross will go head-to-head to determine who has more hits. But judging by a recent Instagram post, the artist formerly known as Tity Boi is well aware Hip Hop fans seem to think the Maybach Music Group boss will walk away with the crown.
On Wednesday (July 29), Chainz shared a meme that pits the two rap heavyweights against each other. As noted in the post, Chainz has accumulated one No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, zero No. 1 songs on the Hot 100, two Top 10 hits and 39 Hot 100 songs overall.
Ross, on the other hand, has clocked five No. 1 albums, 0 Hot 100 No. 1 hits, two Top 10 songs and 49 tracks on the Hot 100 overall.
Taking this into account, Chainz simply wrote “Interesting” in the caption.
Chainz’s career kicked off in 2004 when he appeared on the Infamous 20 single “Fightin’ In The Club” with Chingy and Lil Fate. His first mixtape, Me Against The World, was released in 2007, which eventually led to a deal with Def Jam Recordings. His inaugural studio album Based on a T.R.U. Story dropped in 2012 and was followed by five additional studio albums, culminating with 2020’s No Face, Case with T.R.U.
Meanwhile, Ross started to gain national notoriety in 2006 when he released “Hustlin’.” Like Chainz, Ross signed a multimillion-dollar deal with Def Jam and his debut album Port of Miami landed in 2006. The project debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
DMX & Snoop Dogg's Verzuz 'Battle' Was More Like A Unification Of The Dawgs
Verzuz co-founders Timbaland and Swizz Beatz recently partnered up with Apple Music to improve the virtual experience. Early iterations of the Instagram Live events were marred by technical difficulties as evidenced by the Teddy Riley and Babyface matchup — but the platform has leveled up.
Episodes will be simulcast live on Apple Music and Beats 1 simultaneously as the Verzuz Instagram Live channel. They will also be exclusively available via Apple Music on-demand following the live stream. Apple Music is planning to work alongside Swizz and Timbo to produce new episodes of Verzuz to “continue giving fans a truly premium, high quality shared experience.”
While not everyone is convinced Ross will crush Chainz, Twitter is heavily in Ross’ corner. The 2 Chainz versus Rick Ross Verzuz event takes place on Thursday (August 6) at 5 p.m. PT/8 p.m. ET on Apple Music and the official Verzuz Instagram page.

Trivia: What female rapper Tity Boi collaborated and Rick Ross beefed with?
Kreayshawn? LOL I remember when Officer Ricky tried to get gangster with the lil white girl, but wont get that MMG chain back from Fif.
Kreayshawn is correct 🙂 though it’s debatable whether she’s a rapper lol
same niggas calling Ross officer Ricky is the same lames speaking in favor of tekashi 69 . Yall some dam hypocrites
No actually I have never spoken in favor of Teriyaki 69 or Officer Ricky. They are basically the same to me. Both fake as fuck. Both clowns portraying an image that destroys communities. The rainbow kid is more gangster than the fat booty searching cop though.
Who cares they are both terrible.
Cocaine cowboys
Jeezy kills both of them!
We will realize 2 chainz isn’t as bad as we thought and Ross isnt really as good as people think. Should be interesting, but both will have to rely heavily on features.
While both are not that great, Ross is clearly a better one between them. Ross actually got better through his career, Teflon Don and Rich Forever was huge no matter what. I wouldn’t call 2 chainz just wack but cmon he in 2020 is not so different from that duffle bag Tity Boi 10 years ago.
Rick Ross was a cop, 2 Chainz wasn’t. Therefore, 2 Chainz wins automatically.
People treat these battles like they are actual games and the loser will be gone forever. Who cares? They will both leave with their catalogs, fan bases and prides intact.
Why isn’t there an article about Juicy J wanting to face Nas in a battle and the entire internet was clowning Nas? Lol. Looks like people finally realized Nas’s music is garbage and puts them to sleep. King HOV for the win. It’s the ROC in here!
Pretty sure they made that article last week when that shit was news
Nas already bodied Jay FOH. You think he care about a Verzuz
Billboard dont mean shit its just that a billboard whoever pays the most gets on it…2 chainz will body ross easy not that 2 chainz is great but i dont think ive ever heard ross drop a bar or rhyme other than saying the same word twice guys a fuckin moron
Lol why would we think that, Tity got way bigger hits and is overall better mc
Titty Boi Vs. Titty Man. I remember when Suge Knight said he was gonna knock out the fake Rick Ross and play with his titties. Too bad it never happened.
2 Chainz has way more bangas than this cop
The comments you dummies make boy this dude worked in a prison at 19 so what and 2 chainz nowhere near Ross period start watching tv prison guards bring work in
