Two months after being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, Jay-Z is boasting that no one can match him in a Verzuz battle.
Hova made the statement when he joined a Twitter Spaces conversation with Alicia Keys Tuesday as she was promoting her new album, simply titled, KEYS.
When the subject of Verzuz was brought up, the “Run This Town” rapper immediately let it be known he has no competition.
“Ain’t nobody that can stand on that stage with me,” Jigga said. “I ain’t gonna lie, no disrespect. Everyone’s amazing, they’ve done what they’ve done. No one can stand on that stage with me. I’m just telling you guys the real. There’s not a shot.”
“There’s not a chance in hell that anyone can stand on that stage for I don’t know how long it is? Two hours? Two hours…That’s ain’t gonna never happen,” he continued. “Let’s move on from Verzuz and move on to this Keys album.”
The Roc Nation founder has won ten Grammys, and he received three nominations last month to become the most-nominated artist ever, with 83 nods. He’s up for Album of the Year as a featured artist on Kanye West‘s Donda, plus he has two nominations for Best Rap Song: “Jail” with West,” and “Bath Salts” with Nas and the late DMX.
It was also announced Tuesday that Jay’s “Guns Go Bang” with Kid Cudi, from They Harder They Fall, is on the shortlist of songs under consideration for an Academy Award Best Original Song nomination.
