DMX really, really, really wants to do a VERZUZ battle Jay-Z on Instagram Live. Although rumors swirled that Eminem wanted to battle X, X said that he really wants to go head-to-head with Jay. N.O.R.E. posted a video of X, saying, “Eminem don't want it,” DMX said, before playfully referring to Jay-Z as his “arch-nemesis.”
He said, “I rather go against my arch-nemesis. You can't go in the basement and play some records?!… That's what I'm saying. That's why it should be done. It's a celebration. We're celebrating music. He got some hits, too! He can play 'Money, Cash, H*es,' then I can play 'Money, Cash, H*es.'”
N.O.R.E. insisted that there is no beef between Jay and X, saying, “Sent this to hov and he said dmx will never be his nemesis he’s his brother and I respect that salute them both I LOVE HIPHOP!!!”
