Ashanti and Keyshia Cole Will Face Off in Next VERZUZ Battle
Earlier this week, Keyshia Cole revealed that she would participate in a VERZUZ, however, she did not state who her opponent was. As fans took to the comments their guesses, many thought it would be Ciara or Mary J. Blige.
After the paperwork cleared, VERZUZ took to their respective social media platforms that Cole would be going against Murder Inc’s first lady, Ashanti, who previously expressed interest in a VERZUZ battle back in May during an Instagram Live with Fat Joe. “Keyshia Cole, would that be a great one?” Fat Joe asked Ashanti. “Listen, if they want to see it. I ain’t mad,” Ashanti replied.
Cole, 39, took over the mid-2000s with her singles, “I Changed My Mind,” “I Should’ve Cheated,” “Heaven Sent,” “Love,” and “I Remember,” while Ashanti, 40, held down the early 2000s with her debut single, “Foolish,” as well as “Baby,” “Rock Wit You,” “Only You” and “Rain On Me.” The singer is also responsible for penning and having background vocals on Jennifer Lopez‘s hit singles, “I’m Real” featuring Ja Rule and “Ain’t It Funny.”
Cole will be going head to head with Ashanti on VERZUZ via Instagram Live, Saturday, Dec. 12th, at 8 pm ET.

Drake’s highly anticipated album has finally gotten a release date, September 3rd.
Seven months ago, Drake announced the delay of Certified Lover Boy due to recovery from his knee surgery. As tension builds between him and Kanye West, the Toronto artist decided to leverage his relationship with Sportscenter and use the platform to reveal the official release date for Certified Lover Boy through a cryptic message.
This week, Rick Ross share a text message between him and Drake following a phone discussion where the two spoke about the beef with Kanye. Drake responded with, “Everything is unfolding… I’m about to be as free as a bird 🦉”
Following his appearance alongside Detroit native Babyface Ray‘s “Ain’t My Fault” with Hit-Boy, Big Sean returned to Instagram to share with fans a new demo titled “Million Pieces” over another Hit-Boy production.
“Hit sent me this loop n I started building,” Sean wrote in the caption.
This weekend, Big Sean will be in Detroit for his 3rd Annual Detroit’s On Now (D.O.N.) Weekend Saturday, August 28 – Sunday, August 29. Presented by the Sean Anderson Foundation (SAF), Detroit’s On Now Weekend will be hosted by the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeastern Michigan (BGCSM) and City Council President Pro-Tem Mary Sheffield.
“This past year and a half has been challenging for everyone. I’m glad we can bring D.O.N. Weekend back and celebrate the people who make this city great,” said Big Sean. “With all the hurdles Detroit has faced during the pandemic, it’s so important to bring the city together in a positive way.”
