Rick Ross and French Montana have collided on a handful of tracks as rap titans of the 2010s, but now they’ll be foes on the Verzuz stage.
Rozay and the Bronx native are slated to clash for a Verzuz battle on May 7, according to Complex. It’s all going down at the Apple Music Studios in Los Angeles, as the match-up will stream live on Apple Music starting at 9:30 p.m. ET.
Rick Ross already touched the Verzuz stage when he faced off against 2 Chainz in August 2020, which saw Billboard‘s scorecard give the Biggest Boss a slight edge and the victory. Next month’s battle will mark French’s first time as a headliner in a Verzuz battle.
Rozay and French Montana have joined forces for plenty of hits over the years, so it will be interesting to see who takes ownership of anthems like “Stay Schemin,” “Pop That” and “Marble Floors” in the battle. They’ve also teamed up on tracks such as Rozay’s “Nobody” and “Minks in Miami,” the latter of which arrived in March.
“This will be Rick Ross easiest win ever,” former Hot 97 producer Scottie Beam declared. Tyrese, who faced off against Tank in a March Verzuz battle, is also backing Ross. “Let’s goooooo!!!!!!!!! I promise I Love French….Rick Ross got this one,” he wrote in Complex‘s comment section.
A fan on X joked that this could turn into a Drake concert with both artists boasting potent Drizzy collaborations. “This is gonna be a battle of who got the best Drake features,” they wrote.
Tune into the Rick Ross and French Montana Verzuz on May 7.
