Mary J. Blige has no interest in participating in Verzuz. During an appearance on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen, the Queen of Hip Hop Soul confirmed she wasn’t eager to battle anyone in the popular series.
Blige was asked if she watched the battle between Brandy and Monica, which she confirmed she did. But the Grammy Award-winning singer made it abundantly clear she doesn’t intend to follow their lead and throw her hat into the Verzuz ring.
“Yeah, I saw it and I loved it — but no, I don’t wanna do a Verzuz,” she said with a laugh. “I don’t. I’m cool.”
Blige’s “I’ll Be There for You/You’re All I Need to Get By” collaborator Method Man was also a guest on the show and suggested there’s no legitimate competition to face her in Verzuz.
“Mary would kill somebody in Verzuz,” Meth said. “She’d kill somebody in Verzuz. She got way too many hits. Can’t nobody keep up.”

Blige and the Wu-Tang Clan MC are working together again on the Starz series Power Book II: Ghost, which premiered on Sunday (September 6). The show is a spinoff of 50 Cent’s hit drama Power, which finished its six-season run in February.

Mary doesn’t get down with that type of stuff…doesn’t fit her personality
MJB vs Tekashi Six Nine. Battle of The Females lol
Only woman it would make sense with is Beyonce. Other than that, it would have to be a cross-gender one like with Alicia Keys vs John Legend. Maybe against someone like Usher.
Na I think she would smash Beyoncé hit for hit honestly they couldn’t go up against one another because the fan base would be somewhat different… however the only person I could see getting in the ring with Mary is R-Kelly (no cap)..
The only person could go toe to toe with Mary hit for hit is R-Kelly (no cap) no one else could do a versus battle with Mary J Blige..
Definitely no competition for her… I cannot think of any female that is even close dead or alive. Real talk!
I don’t blame MJB because their is nobody out there to beat the true Queen of R&B…. PS She is a solo artist since 1992 …. beyonce started from a group in 1998
I don’t blame MBJ because their is nobody out there to beat the true Queen of R&B. PS MJB is a solo artist since 1992
Her and R Kelly would be epic
Mary J Blige Will Murder That Girl Beyonce Hands Down… I Can’t think of Anybody but Patti n R. Kelly
I had a thought. What about Mariah Carey?
She need to a vs a rock singer, the queen of rnb need to do a vs a other genre? Damn!
When you have that many hits, you only risk disappointing fans by some of the songs you chose not to play. MJB doesn’t need the added level of attention, especially with her acting career blossoming.
Black people are some funny ass people, funny looking, too. Y’all want to talk about the shit white people do but all you grown ass men talking about who can go up against mary j blige and talking about her songs like y’all watching keeping up with the kardashians. This is the pot calling the kettle black. Lmao
Your mom looks funny
She’s one of the most overrated singers of all time. I said it. People act like it’s their aunty or something so they have to heap all this unwarranted praise on her. She just straight up can’t sing that good and her music is boring. You know I’m right.
Its like you’ve gone MAD!!! Refrain from ever making this statement again about MJB, opinion or not, it will never count anywhere in this World we live in.
You must be 12 years old to say something like that. Mary’s music touches your soul…at least for us old enough to know
Faith Evans is a good match
Mrs Carey a real diva only one that could give her a run for her money hands down
The only versus battle i wanna see is BEYONCE VS MARIAH CAREY.
