Cypress Hill had been preparing to step onto the Verzuz stage to face off against Onyx since March, but now that the event has come and gone, B-Real admits he’s disappointed in how his experience went in Los Angeles.
“I have to say although it was great to rock with our brothers @ONYX_HQ in the Verzuz battle, I feel like [Verzuz] shorted us all by not running it on IG live like other battles,” the legendary MC tweeted. “They made it a ppl event & made the battle a side show for the boxing match instead. IMO.”
DJ Skee echoed B-Real’s sentiments and added he wasn’t even aware a Verzuz battle between the legends had been happening.
“Both groups are iconic and unfortunately no on even knew this was happening,” he wrote. “I would have watched if I knew.”
I have to say although it was great to rock w/ our brothers @ONYX_HQ in the Verzuz battle, I feel like @verzuzonline shorted us all by not running it on Ig live like all other battles. They made it a ppv event & made the battle a side show for the boxing matches instead. IMO
