Nelly Says Diddy Couldn’t Beat Jermaine Dupri in a ‘Verzuz’: ‘Wasn’t Gonna Be Close’


The two super producers were supposed to square up back in 2023.

Jermaine Dupri, Nelly and Sean 'P Diddy' Combs attend the 2005 NBA All Star Game at the Pepsi Center on February 20, 2005 in Denver, Colorado. The St. Louis rapper visited Drink Champs recently, where he was asked to choose between Timbaland and Dupri, and the convo veered into a Verzuz that — for whatever reason — never came to fruition. A year prior in 2022, while talking with Rory & Mal, Dupri was skeptical if the battle would happen and questioned which Bad Boy artists would come out to perform due to the troubled mogul’s rocky past with many of them.
