Bun B Honored The Victims Of The Uvalde Shooting With A Moment Of Silence During Verzuz With 8Ball & MJG
It’s been a big night in dirty south hip-hop, as the music of Houston rap duo UGK faced off against that of Memphis’ 8Ball & MJG on the Verzuz stage tonight. Representing UGK was one-half of the duo, Bun B, who is originally from Port Arthur, Texas. Before kicking of the hotly-anticipated Verzuz, Bun took time to honor the victims of the school shooting.
“Before we get started, [DJ Greg] Street, if that’s alright, I wanted to take a moment of silence,” said Bun to the crowd. “21 seconds of silence to honor the 21 victims of the mass shooting in Uvalde, Texas. If you have a hat on, I ask that you take your hat off.”
The room then went silent for a full 21 seconds.
Before calling for a moment of silence, Bun shouted out his late bandmate, Pimp C. “You already know we doing this for the Pimp,” he said.
Earlier this week, Bun took to his Instagram story (per iHeart) to call for change in regards to gun laws. “Let’s see what we are really made of as a country now,” Bun said. “They’re killing our babies! How many more have to die before we make some real changes?”

UGK Set to Face 8Ball & MJG in ‘Verzuz’ Battle
[WATCH] B-Real Says Cypress Hill and Onyx Got “Shorted” by Verzuz
With all of the fanfare surrounding the previous VERZUZ battles, it was anticipated that the face-off between two of the most iconic Hip Hop groups to date, Onyx, and Cypress Hill, would be one for the history books. Still, instead, Triller didn’t even broadcast the battle live on their IG page as was done with the previous, unprecedented shows. CH’s B-Real says the two legendary groups got played by the sponsors, and he wants answers.
The battle, which was held this past weekend in Los Angeles at The Forum, was not streamed on Instagram but instead offered up on PPV to those who wanted to see Sticky Fingaz, Fredro and Co. go up against B-Real, Sen Dog, and Muggs if you were willing to pay. Allegedly, this was because there were many boxing matches on the card, but B-Real says that is a poor excuse for not laying out the red carpet for these two award-winning groups.
“I have to say, although it was great to rock w/ our brothers @ONYX_HQ in the Verzuz battle, I feel like [VERZUZ] shorted us all by not running it on Ig live like all other battles,” he wrote. “They made it a ppv event & made the battle a side show for the boxing matches instead. IMO.”
See what B-Real had to say below.

Who Would Win If Lizzo And Saweetie Faced Off In A Weird Food ‘Verzuz’ Battle?
Lizzo is back in a big way, and her “About Damn Time” single has already made its way to Saturday Night Live and other late night shows. But as the pop star continues to promote her latest album, Special, other topics are obviously getting brought into the mix as well.
On a recent appearance on Power 106 Los Angeles, Lizzo had a wide-ranging discussion with the hosts about her music, her new shapewear line, Yitty, and also, her sometimes crazy food habits. But that convo obviously led the hosts to bring up another woman in the industry who is well-known for her somewhat zany food choices — and that’s Saweetie. Right around the 30 minute mark the group gets into a convo about these two women and their strange palates, and who would win if the were to face off in a strange foods Verzuz battle.
“Saweetie be doing sh*t that’s like hmmm I might try that,” Lizzo said. “But I do sh*t that’s unthinkable. That makes people… yeah, it makes them gag.” So in Lizzo’s mind, yes, she would be winning that face off. But who knows what Saweetie’s response will be once she hears these fighting words. Check out the clip up top.
