#T.I. Compares Diddy Ducking Jermaine Dupri In Verzuz To 50 Cent Going Ghost

T.I. had some words for all the commotion surrounding Diddy, Dr. Dre, Jermaine Dupri and Verzuz. Diddy has made it loud and clear that he’ll only take on Dr. Dre if he were to ever hit the Verzuz stage but fans have been clamoring for him to take on Jermaine Dupri.

During Fat Joe and Ja Rule’s showdown Tuesday night (September 14), Diddy once again said he would only take on the legendary producer in the comment section of the Instagram Live while saying Jermaine Dupri couldn’t “box with God.”

People weren’t too happy with Diddy remaining firm on his decision, such as T.I., who compared the situation to the proposed showdown he was trying to get going for himself with 50 Cent. T.I. chimed in the comment section after Diddy and asked why New York rappers feel they’re above Atlanta.

“I disagree,” T.I. wrote. “Side note: Why do I feel NY n*ggaz (Most of which I love,look up to, appreciate and respect)always feel like they so much above competition with their Atlanta (southern)constituents???? @50Cent ducking me the same way (@jermainedupri).”

T.I. later went on social media with a 9-minute video discussing his stance on the whole fiasco. The Atlanta legend stood by his city and claimed, “Ain’t no sleeping on Atlanta, ain’t none of that.”

Last year, T.I. took to social media to challenge 50 Cent to a battle on Verzuz. 50 Cent ignored T.I.’s request and didn’t give his thoughts on hitting the Verzuz stage a year later when he said he probably wouldn’t do it during the New York Premiere of his Starz series Power Book III: Raising Kanan at Hammerstein Ballroom.

“A Verzuz battle?” he pondered. “Probably not! We back outside. That was something that happened during the pandemic when we was stuck in the house. Now that we back outside, there’s other things to do. We supposed to be creating new history, not being back there.”
