Verzuz founders Swizz Beatz and Timbaland went round two over the weekend during a live showdown at Miami hotspot LIV.
During the match, Timbaland played “SexyBack” and “Cry Me A River" from his guy Justin Timberlake.
Swizz responded by questioning JT's commitment to the culture.
“He gotta admit that he loves the Black culture and he gotta be on this stage,” Swizz said, trying to goad JT into doing a Verzuz. “You took from the Black culture, you give to the Black culture! Come to Verzuz and be a part of the Black culture!”
Swizz clarified those comments in a follow-up Instagram video after Timbaland brought them up.
“Look man, I had to go hard,” Swizz said. “You heard how them songs were sounding on that stage? It was like JT was in the building. I was like, ‘Man!’ You know it's hip hop. And I was just having fun. I don't got no problem with JT, I don't got no problem with nobody. We just having fun. It’s called Verzuz. You know, we doing our thing. Shoutout to JT. We can’t wait to get you on stage having fun cause you deserve it too.”
