On Monday, the two R&B divas, Monica and Brandy took over Instagram and gave a legendary performance for this week’s VerzuzTV battle.
With 1.2 million viewers on Instagram and being the highest tweeted Verzuz battle ever; these ladies were not accepting defeat.
The legendary singers did not hold back with their selection of hits.
Brandy brought out her throwbacks like her 1994 hit, “I Wanna Be Down” and then brought us back to the present with her song featuring Chris Brown; “Put It Down.”
However, her musical selections did not seem to faze Monica who came out running with classics like “Don’t Take It Personal” and “U Should’ve Known Better”.
In the closing round, they ended the battle in the only way allowed; with their classic duet of “The Boy is Mine” from Brandy’s second album, Never Say Never.”
It was to great to for both artists set aside their rumored differences and bring closure to what many consider to be one of the longest running feuds in Black music.
This episode of VerzuzTV once again proved how strong the power of Black culture can be. Through the live virtual concert, the show helped direct 35,000 people to click the link to vote.
To add to the list of accomplishments, both legends re-entered Apple Music’s “Top 40 R and B Soul Albums” chart with an overall 10 albums combined on the chart.
Audiences are proving the new wave of virtual entertainment will continue to be successful as we adjust to our present day reality.
With the next episode rumored to feature Usher and Ne-Yo, fans across the globe are looking forward to the future episodes of VerzuzTV.
