Jay-Z has made it loud and clear that he is as untouchable as ever.
In a recent sit down with Alicia Keys and Rob Markman, the NYC rapper said that he’ll never do a VERZUZ battle.
“No one can stand on that stage with me. It’s not a chance in hell that anyone can stand on that stage with me,” he said after Markman asked if he ever would go against someone in the live hit battle show. “You got to stand in front of the ‘Grammy Family Freestyle’ live? No one has ever even seen me perform that, you got to stand in front of that? That ain’t never going to happen.”
Although it would never happen, Rick Ross recently said it was a “possibility” for him to face-off with Jay-Z, but that he’d ultimately just end up offering his respects to the rap legend.
“Jay-Z… Yeah! Why not?” Ross said. “To me, that’s what makes Verzuz special because it brings out the best in both parties. That’s a possibility, but I gotta give my flowers to the big homie. I got to. My homie gave me my first opportunity signing me to Def Jam Records, and he’s one-of-one.”
