Swizz Beatz knows a thing or two about getting the party started, and he’s shown that his family can do the same with some fun Christmas TikTok challenges.
The “Money Game,” as it’s referred to on the video-sharing app, involves blindfolded family members using a spatula to try and flip cash onto an empty plate, with the goal being whatever they flip they can keep.

Swizz Beatz and his family were seen getting in on the fun on their Instagram Story. “It’s about the family everyday not just today,” Swizz wrote on Instagram. “HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM THEM DAMN DEANS.”
In a separate photo shared to his Insta Story, Swizz took a picture of a spatula laying on top of some money on a plate with the caption: “If you know you know.”
As Swizz Beatz’ 2022 comes to a close, the producer had a pretty drama-free year, starting in September when he and Timbaland settled their eight-figure Verzuz lawsuit against Triller.
Triller bought Verzuz for an undisclosed fee in 2021, but the company stated it had already paid “over $50 million in cash and stock” after Swizz and Timbo filed their lawsuit in August. As part of the settlement, the Verzuz founders are getting an increased ownership stake.

“Verzuz has always been a platform that is by the artists, for the artists and with the people,” Swizz Beatz and Timbaland said in a joint statement. “We’re glad to come to an amicable agreement with Triller and continue giving fans the music and community that they’ve come to know and love from the brand.”
Swizz added: “Was I ready to go to war? Yes. Am I used to it? I’m from the South Bronx. But I had to take my emotions out of it. There were too many creatives for me to lock this whole thing in the lawyers’ box.”
He also assured they’ll return with Verzuz “harder than we ever went,” while celebrating the settlement on Instagram by posting a video of The LOX’s Verzuz battle with the caption: “I’m on this energy today !!!!!!!!!!!!!”
Triller’s executive chairman and co-founder Bobby Sarnevesht also issued a statement, stating its relationship with Verzuz was strong again.

“Verzuz and Triller will always be a safe place and outlet for creators and their art,” he said. “Nothing will change that. Creators started this and will continue building it. This is a victorious moment in the Triller and Verzuz relationship as we march together toward the public markets.
“At the end of the day just like any Thanksgiving or family gathering, there are disagreements, but like any good family we all forgive each other in the end and come back stronger than ever. The Triller Verzuz family is as strong as they have ever been. We are glad we put this disagreement behind us and couldn’t be more excited for the next chapter.”
