There’s a new “Verzuz” matchup on the horizon … and it’s pitting Xscape against SWV for a battle of female R&B groups.
We got Xscape’s LaTocha Scott in New York City Wednesday and she told us the rumors and speculation are true … she’s heading into battle May 8 alongside Kandi Burruss, Tameka ‘Tiny’ Harris and her sister, Tamika Scott.
Mark your calendars!!!
Timbaland and Swizz Beatz have managed to keep the epic matchup under wraps until now … with recent flyers for upcoming “Verzuz” battles blurring out the opponents.
The Isley Brothers and Earth, Wind & Fire are next up on Easter Sunday, followed by Redman and Method Man for a “How High” April 20 special, and then it’s on to Xscape and SWV!!!
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
Kandi first teased a “Verzuz” with SWV way back in December, and fans have been clamoring for the matchup ever since … and LaTocha tells us how it all came together.
Sounds like Xscape is already deep into their preparation … LaTocha says the group’s had tons of meetings to hammer out their battle playlist, so SWV better come correct!
There’s still at least 5 “Verzuz” battles yet to be revealed … and LaTocha tells us she’s hoping for a showdown between Missy Elliott and Timbaland.
Stay tuned.
