Their Instagram live session has created a humungous buzz on social media as both the veteran musicians made a controversial statement that swarmed social media with snaps, burns and memes coming their way. It began when Knight and Patti referred to R&B singers Brandy and Monica and said that they should ‘work it out’.
For the unversed, the previous episode of Verzuz rap battle welcomed R&B queens Brandy and Monica, who share a history of feuds. During the episode, the two spoke loudly about the issues between them and claimed that the feud was no one’s fault and the two were far away from the dramatics of the whole situation.
However, the singers who collaborated in 1998 for the single The Boy is Mine, their matchup after several years set a ground-breaking record for Verzuz, garnering over 1.2 million viewers on Instagram, as reported by Complex.
The viewers of the show included Tyler, the creator, Michelle Obama, Solange and many other prominent faces. The Verzuz battle saw Brandy and Monica coming together in the same room after a decade. Although there were tense moments between the two throughout the battle, but both the rap queens joined hands to respect the power of R&B.

The Gladys Knight and Patti LaBelle episode was filled with astonishing moments that kept fans entertained. While Knight created magic by singing her melancholy classics like Double or Nothing, I Don’t Want to Know. LaBelle struck the hearts of fans with her hit singles like If Only You Knew, On My Own and more.
