Diddy, Jermaine Dupri Will Face Off In Non-Verzuz ‘Hit For Hit’ Battle

Diddy and Jermaine Dupri will face off in an event similar to Verzuz but will not be under the Swizz Beatz and Timbaland-produced musical clash webcast, according to an Instagram Live session posted by Puff on Thursday night (August 18). During the IG Live session, the Bad Boy Records founder invited Dupri into the session and said “JD, if you want that smoke, you can get that smoke anytime.” The So So Def Records creator, who sat alongside his production partner Bryan-Michael Cox, told Diddy to relax prior to agreeing to set up an event in Atlanta. Rather than battling, however, Dupri suggested they showcase the history of their respective labels by playing their hits for fans.
