Will Diddy go up against Jermaine Dupri in a VERZUZ battle after all? Days after Diddy told Jermaine that he didn't have enough hits to go head to head with him in a battle, Diddy and Jermaine went live on Instagram with Fat Joe and Snoop Dogg.
Shortly after hopping on IG, Diddy said, “Ayo, short arms. You need to chill out short arms. You hear me? Ayo, I love you. First of all, I want the world to know that this is one of my best friends. You know, one of my best inspirations.”
He continued, “You amnesia-having motherf*ckers. I done gave y’all life for motherf*cking 20 years of music. I’ma tell you, JD, anything I touch. Anything I breathed on, executive produced, anything I thought up, anything I f*cking did, whatever. You hear me? Don’t play with me.”
He continued, “Are you listening, JD? … What you gon’ do when Biggie’s ‘One More Chance’ drop? I’m the greatest. What the f*ck y’all talking about? I have the most No. 1s as an artist … I don’t even hear no one play none of your shit. Ayo, when we go back in the club, I don’t hear no one play none of your sh*t. Ain’t nobody rocking no Kriss Kross sh*t, or no Bow Wow. I want Dre! Where is Dre? Where is Dre?”
DIDDY CHALLENGES JERMAINE DUPRI TO A MINI VERZUZ BATTLEE
Diddy later challenged Diddy to a mini five for five VERZUZ battle and played five songs, including, “Victory,” “Who Shot Ya,” “Hypnotize,” “Come and Talk to Me,” “Whoa,” “All About the Benjamins,” and “FWMGAB.” He also played the remixes for “Flava In Ya Ear” and “O Let’s Do It.” Diddy even played some records Dupri’s produced, those being “Jump,” the “Welcome to Atlanta” remix, and “Money Ain’t a Thang.”
Dupri initially refused to participate but then played, Usher‘s “Confessions” while asking Diddy if he had an “R&B record better than this.” Diddy responded by playing Mary J. Blige‘s “I’m Goin Down.” After the livestream, Dupri questioned Diddy’s right to play Blige’s song as he was not listed as a songwriter or producer.
