On Friday, in a clip that was posted on Twitter, the producer shared that a battle between the groups would be happening.
Swizz Beatz has shared that OutKast and A Tribe Called Quest will be battling in an upcoming Verzuz.
In a newly surfaced clip that landed on Twitter, Swizz acknowledged that the two groups would be squaring off. In the video, he can be seen saying “[It’s] pending. I wasn’t even supposed to say.” He also added, “Q-Tip is my brother, but that man. Andre 3000, but that man.” That subtle jab could allude to ongoing copyright issues that are required before Verzuz events are even announced.
