On Saturday, Soulja Boy tweeted that a Verzuz battle with Bow Wow was official. This comes after last week’s debate about a battle between Bow Wow and Romeo. “Soulja Boy vs Bow wow #Verzuz it’s official,”, tweeted Big Draco. There has been no such official announcement from Verzuz, Timbaland or Swizz, but the latter reportedly shared Soulja’s tweet to his IG story.
Bow Wow and Big Soulja took to IG Live later to show a love fest of appreciation for the alleged upcoming battle. “Me and you brother make so much sense. We’ve been on tour together, me and you got a whole muthafuckin’ mixtape together, me and you got a hit record together. We on tour right now! And on top of that, you got a hot new record out. The day before we do Verzuz, n-gga my movie comes out … see how we lined this shit up?”, says Bow.
By the rapper’s timeframe it appears the battle would be held on June 26 because that is the day after the release of F9. Bow Wow vs Soulja Boy is something fans have been excited about since last year. Both artists reached high levels of success in the early 2000s, setting trends and paving the way for the next generation. The two have dissed each other, made music together (2008’s Marco Polo and 2016’s Ignorant Shit mixtape) and toured together throughout their career.
Bow Wow has sold over 10 million albums and went platinum three times out of his six projects. Meanwhile, Soulja Boy has had several hits chart on Billboard, including his latest hit, “She Make It Clap”. Fans will look forward to official news soon from Verzuz.
