“Until you can get Justin Timberlake on VERZUZ, I don’t really wanna hear those vocals,” he said with a laugh after his competitor played Jay-Z’s 2013 Grammy-winning song “Holy Grail,” which Timberlake is featured on.”
Swizz Beatz Dedicates VERZUZ To DMX
The battle brought in over 165,000 virtual viewers on its Instagram Live. Things turned extra special and emotional by Beatz honoring the rematch in late Ruff Ryders member DMX’s memory.
“I dedicate this show to my brother DMX, and Timbaland’s sister Aaliyah,” Swizz stated. After two hours of heating up the nightclub’s center stage, Timbo and Swizz came together to celebrate the platform they built together from the ground up in just a year. Swizz gifted his Verzuz co-founder with a custom airbrushed jacket featuring portraits of his frequent collaborators Aaliyah and Missy Elliott, before riding off to DMX playing in the background.
