Verzuz remains a hot topic in the culture, despite the series slowing down. We haven’t seen many match-ups over the last few months but Swizz Beatz and Timbaland have insisted it will return soon. Some have pitched the idea of Lil Wayne vs. 50 Cent, though the Verzuz founder shut that down quickly as fans debated the outcome. However, Jim Jones has been the most vocal about entering the ring. Following the Dipset vs. Lox pairing, the Harlem rapper wants to have a proper set-up in some sort of capacity whether it’s between collectives or a solo battle.
Most recently, Jim Jones said that he wanted to see Jadakiss, the undefeated Verzuz champ, and the LOX at Madison Square Garden for a rematch. Though Dipset and The LOX went down in the Hulu Theater, Jones thinks New York City deserves to see their heroes perform in the same place where the Knicks play. He explained to AllHipHop that between the security clearance, the stage set-up, and other factors – including Dipset’s lack of preparation – left them in a position to lose. However, he made it clear that, under the right circumstances, the outcome would be much different.

I’m puttin’ it out there like Rocky after he lost to Apollo Creed … And we gonna be ready like hot spaghetti.”
Jadakiss has a change of heart after shooting down the possibilities last year. During an interview with Vibe, the rapper chuckled at the proposal before revealing that he was open for it. “You gotta talk to my advisors,” Jadakiss said. “I would love to run it back, you know what I mean? Why not? For sure.” If Jadakiss enters the ring, it would mark his third Verzuz battle following his face-off against Fabolous and then the Lox vs. Dipset battle. We’ll see if anything comes of it. However,
