Verzuz Announces Crushing Setback
Last week, the Verzuz battle series suffered another setback. As anticipation mounted for singers Ashanti and Keyshia Cole to finally face-off with their hits, the organization announced a shocking delay for safety measures. The Verzuz Instagram page revealed its decision to reconsider its battle policies. Despite some of the most unforgettable face-offs happening in-person with both featured artists, the organization said it would go back to separate locations.
“This has been an emotional week. In addition, as COVID-19 numbers continue to increase, safety is a top priority for us. As much as we enjoy having everyone together in the same room, to protect the artists and everyone who works with us in putting the shows together, we’ll be going back to separate locations for a bit. We’re excited for the next few events, and look forward to getting back to the show in the coming weeks. ASHANTI VS KEYSHIA COLE: COMING SOON”
