Who could really go up against Jay-Z in a Verzuz battle?
Hip-hop page MyMixtapez recently reignited the conversation by resurfacing a 2021 clip of Jay-Z boldly declaring that “no one” could face him in a Verzuz.
“No one can stand on that stage with me. It’s not a chance in hell that anyone can stand on that stage with me,” Hov said at the time. “You got to stand in front of the ‘Grammy Family Freestyle’ live? No one has ever even seen me perform that, you got to stand in front of that? That ain’t never going to happen.”
Naturally, fans jumped into debate mode, tossing around names like Rick Ross, Drake, and Kanye West as potential contenders.
Even Memphis Bleek joined the conversation, tweeting, “I can tho he don’t want no smoke wit Blizz.”
Bleek reminded fans of a 2013 Breakfast Club interview where Jay-Z described him as “an amazing soul” and “an incredible person.”
