Rick Ross Vs 2 Chainz

Rick and Chainz went against each other in a rap battle which also featured one unreleased verse and two new songs by the two artists. Rick Ross shared his unheard verse recorded for Kanye's Famous along with a song titled Pin Me to the Cross. 2 Chainz debuted the song Money Maker featuring Lil Wayne. One common theme during a Verzuz Battle is the fans posting their thoughts either in the comment sections or by live-tweeting. This time around, Drake, Snoop Dogg, and DJ Khaled were also some of the accompanies in the comment section which was deemed to be more entertaining than the entire rap battle.

Besides this, a number of songs played by Rick and 2 Chainz featured Drake. Songs like All Me and Pop That were some of them. This left fans more ecstatic for the Hotline Bling singer with some stating that nobody will be able to Drake in a Verzuz Rap Battle. Check out how fans hailed Drake below -
