Get ready for the first Verzuz battle of 2021: Ashanti versus Keyshia Cole, which was postponed to tonight from its originally scheduled mid-December date.
Who knew that when the battle series was conceived out of pandemic boredom in early 2020, it would be going on into the new year? And who expected that it would go from virtual to in-person and back again? But here we are.
“Y’all ready???,” Ashanti tweeted Thursday, promoting the night’s battle and almost tagging just-pardoned rapper Lil Wayne in her post (she was off by one letter).
Meanwhile, “I Should Have Cheated” singer Cole, 39, has been teasing to her upcoming eighth album — and promoting the Verzuz battle — for weeks now on social media.
