Twitter lite up this morning and for good reason, as an old Instagram Live clip made rounds of Verzuz co-founders Timbo and Swizz Beatz argument about who would win between Janet Jackson and Miss Elliot.
In the clip Swizz Beatz with a straight face suggested Janet Jackson does not have enough material to compete with Missy Elliot. Timbo disagreed, stating it would be a epic match.
In the clip, Timbo says, “What about Janet and Missy?”
Swizz quickly shakes his head and replies, “No, because Missy could be multiple people. Janet just gotta be Janet. Missy’s in the comments right there. She says, ‘no Missy versus Busta, I’m his twin, cheerleader. My money on Bus-A-Bus. And we said that. Sis, we need you and everybody tag Missy ’cause she’s in the comments. Tell her that we need her.”
When Timbo asks Missy who she’d want to battle, he says, ‘See, Janet vault too big,’” to which Swizz says, “I don’t think so. I don’t agree with that.”
Twitter users dragged Swizz for crazy comments and reminded him Janet Jackson accomplishments. The Grammy Award-winning singer is one of the world’s best-selling music artists of all time. She has amassed an extensive catalog, with singles such as “Nasty”, “Rhythm Nation”, “That’s the Way Love Goes”, “Together Again” and “All for You”; she holds the record for the most consecutive top-ten entries on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart by a female artist with 18. Jackson has sold over one million albums.
