Rumors of a possible Travis Scott and Future Verzuz battle set the internet ablaze on Monday evening (January 18), but it doesn’t look like the rumors of the heavyweight matchup are true. Shortly after the chatter started, Future’s manager Anthony Saleh quickly put an end to the idea of anything being in the works at this time.
“I love verzuz but this isn’t true,” Saleh wrote in response to another tweet.
The rumor seems to have been started by a Twitter account by the name of Complex Ambition (unrelated to Complex) and social media took it from there. The account claimed they heard the idea of the potential Verzuz floated on Clubhouse by Timbaland’s manager and Mono Music Group boss Gary Marella.
Regardless, the internet ran with the rumor and the consensus looks to be that Future would’ve had his way with La Flame in a pretty decisive fashion.
“Travis gonna play 90210 in a hit battle and feel all vibey and then Future gonna murder his ass with March Madness,” one fan chimed in. “Travis’s music isn’t made for hit battles.”
The next Verzuz is scheduled for Thursday (January 21) between R&B stars Ashanti and Keyshia Cole. Their matchup has been delayed twice amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Hit for hit I think Trav probably wins actually. Future may pull it out, but even then discography va discography Scott easily wins that. He has way more variety, and puts together really cohesive projects. Future, as much as I like him, can be too repetitive. And always has a handful of songs per album that are skippable.
I’d have to disagree, Codeine Crazy, March Madness, News or Something all better songs than any of Travis’s despite him having a lot of hits. Although future vs young thug makes more sense
Travis Scott had a fortnite virtual performance for 20 million and y’all talking about versus?? (Iverson vc) different fanbase as well it wouldn’t make sense. Travis can’t miss right now it’s like shooting at the basket without looking right now for him..you know it’s going in.
