It looks like we will have to wait a little longer to watch the Verzuz battle between Ashanti and Keyshia Cole, as Verzuz has postponed this Saturday’s showdown between the two due to the emotional events that took place this week and the rising Covid-19 rates.
In a statement released to the company’s Twitter account, they wrote, “As much as we enjoy having everyone together in the same room, to protect the artists and everyone who works with us in putting the shows together, we’ll be going back to separate locations for a bit. They said, “We’re excited for the next few events and look forward to getting back to the show in the coming weeks.”
Last summer, Verzuz originally took off as a social distancing production on Instagram Live, but as of recently, the artist had begun meeting in person. But unfortunately, due to the rising Covid-19 rates, Verzuz has listed the Ashanti and Keyshia Cole battle as “coming soon.”
However, this isn’t the first time the battle between the R&B icons had been postponed. In December, Ashanti had to push back the event after she contracted covid-19. She was down to do Verzuz from quarantine, but Keyshia Cole wanted to meet up in person.
“I want to give you a hug,” Cole told Ashanti at the time. “I want to love on you. I want to sing your songs in front of you. I want you to be there and do the same. I want you to enjoy our flowers. I want to enjoy my flowers, and I want us to be united as one.”
