Alicia Keys and John Legend are preparing to bless us with a bonafide soul session on Juneteenth thanks to Verzuz.
The singers will be the focus of a special Juneteenth edition of the Instagram Live series created by Timbaland and Keys’ husband, Swizz Beatz, which challenges Black entertainers to go head-to-head with their greatest hits in a friendly competition.
The singer-songwriter, who is married to TV personality Chrissy Teigen, is set to host a Father’s Day special, “John Legend and Family: A Bigger Love Father’s Day,” on ABC.
Keys, a singer-songwriter Legend toured with during her “Songs in A Minor” days, is an equally celebrated and respected artist.
Timbaland and Swizz Beatz kicked off the battles and more Black music icons have faced off, including: Jill Scott and Erykah Badu, Teddy Riley and Babyface, Nelly and Ludacris.
