In a video posted to social media over the weekend, Diddy confirmed that he and Jermaine Dupri have scheduled their Verzuz battle for the fall.
Diddy and Jermaine Dupri’s long-awaited Verzuz battle is coming to the stage. On Sunday (May 7), the Bad Boy Entertainment founder appeared in a video posted to Busta Rhymes’ Instagram account seemingly confirming the news. In the video, Diddy says the two will face-off at Madison Square Garden on Friday, September 8. If it happens, the show will make the first Verzuz installment since “A Salute to Latin Music Producers” between Luny Tunes and DJ Nelson last July.
“We’re gon’ have you out the rafters flying out the sky,” Diddy told Rhymes in the clip as rapper Fabolous stood nearby.
