Jill Scott and Erykah Badu's VERZUZ battle broke records on Saturday (May 10th). The battle bought in 715,000 on Instagram. During the three hour match, which was more a celebration of music, the two went round for round with tracks like “On & On,” “Getting In The Way,” “Didn’t Cha Know,” “Rolling Hills, “Back In The Day,” “Slowly, Surely,” “Tyrone,” and “He Loves Me.” By the end, they had gone back and forth for a full 19 rounds.
At the end of match, Erykah's screen started freezing, so Jill played “Tyrone” for Erykah until she came back.
