Timbaland and Swizz Beatz Are Bringing Verzuz Back on X

Timbaland and Swizz Beatz have partnered with Elon Musk to bring their Verzuz battles back on X, formerly Twitter.

The online music series blew up during pandemic lockdowns, but hasn't shared new battles since 2022 after the pair settled a lawsuit against the social media app Triller Episodes of the series have been streamed on both Instagram Live and Apple Music, bringing in millions of viewers across both platforms — in addition to being hosted in person at venues such as New York’s Madison Square Garden — but the discourse existed largely on X, then known as Twitter. Notable matchups on the show — which features two musicians going head-to-head with selections from their discography — have included Brandy and Monica, Jeezy and Gucci Mane, Ashanti and Keyshia Cole, and Mario and Omarion.
