I don’t think Timbaland and Swizz Beatz knew what they were starting when they decided to battle hit for hit on Instagram Live a few weeks back, at the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, but they’ve stumbled on something great. Since the start we’ve not only seen the two of them battle, but we also saw Teddy Riley vs. Babyface, RZA vs. DJ Premier and this past Saturday Erykah Badu vs. Jill Scott, which not only set the record for the most views for a battle with over 700,000 people watching, but also had former first last, Michelle Obama drop in.

Well we now know who’s up next, as the official Verzuz Twitter page announced that Ludacris and Nelly were up next, and 2000s Mean Jean, is hyped! I think I’m rolling with Luda on this one, the official Verzuz Twitter announced that the battle will happen Saturday night at 7pm.
Who you got!?? @Nelly_Mo vs @Ludacris
