VERZUZ music battles are swiftly changing the dynamics of both music and culture for audiences world wide. Each week fans are left anticipating which of their favorites will go toe toe to next, while also helping each figure gain the rightful acknowledgment that they deserve. However these battles also jumpstart conversations based solely upon opinions that oddly enough erupt into intense debates and ultimate drag sessions if overheard by the wrong fan base.
It appears that #Usher has unknowingly traded places out of the hot seat with beloved actress #LisaRaye this week after his original comments made upon the possibility of there being a #NickiMinaj and #LilKim VERZUZ battle.
Nicki hasn’t even acknowledged anything Usher said, but Lisa Raye is telling her to sit down… why?

Within a recent episode of Out Loud with Claudia Jordan, Claudia asked her all female panel what were their thoughts of Nicki Minaj and Lil Kim potentially stepping into the VERZUZ ring. While all the ladies from Sylenna Johnson, LisaRaye to Vivica A. Fox shared their thoughts on the topic, there was one statement in particular that rubbed Nicki’s fan base of Barbz the wrong way.
“We can all stand together queens and we can all say that all of us are acknowledging the fact that Kim came before Nicki Minaj,” commented LisaRaye. “So Nicki, just take a seat. You don’t have to sit down for long, but just take a bow. Just like Beyonce said, ‘Bow down b**ches.”
It wasn’t long before both Nicki Minaj , Lil Kim and LisaRaye were all trending on Twitter as the Barbz took on anyone who had anything sideways to say about their fearless leader.

Who is telling da baby to bow down to Tupac? Tory Lanez to move around for Jay Z? Gunna to sit down for biggie? We don't get these things. But Nicki Minaj should kiss lil Kim's ass time & time again when sis said Kim was a legend. Lisa Raye seemed to be reaching to me.
