Swizz Beatz + Timbaland Capitalize With New Deal
The VERZUZ new deal will leave the two creators and producers Swizz Beatz and Timbaland as members of the Triller Verzuz management team. Beatz spoke about the situation and praised Triller for how beneficial they are for artists and creatives alike.
“This is what we were supposed to do — even though everyone felt like they’d already gotten paid from streams and sponsorships. We never took any of the money from those things. People were saying, why are you guys giving away so much. But we’d say we’re not giving away anything, we’re sharing because we didn’t build Verzuz by ourselves. It would have taken us four years to raise capital for Verzuz, so why dilute our shares? In doing so, there wouldn’t have been enough to bring everybody here. That’s why we had to be very smart and calculated on how we transitioned [for the future] by merging into a company that had already raised the capital and had valuation.” (Billboard)
D’Angelo’s Real VERZUZ Battle Face-Off
R&B star D’Angelo came “this” close to putting his classics up against fellow singer Maxwell. VERZUZ co-creator Swizz Beatz recently revealed some details following Angelo’s epic face-off including the crooner’s original opponent. According to Swizz, initial plans had the VERZUZ actually happening on Valentine’s Day. However, issues with scheduling and Maxwell’s availability forced D’Angelo to break the mold and turn his battle into a solo bout.
“That didn’t work out…the fact that D’Angelo was still ready to go…and motivated, we had to celebrate him…no matter who was on stage with him,” Swizz said. “We had to celebrate that king because, as you can see, those songs that he played tonight, man, that’s real music and this is celebrational stage…and we couldn’t play around with him. We had to let him get his garden because he showed up and showed out.” He continued: “That man pulled up to Verzuz three hours early. D’Angelo was the earliest in Verzuz history tonight. So, don’t get him showing up at the time he did (an hour after the show was scheduled to start) mixed up with the pre-show, which was by DJ Scratch.” (REVOLT TV)
