Soulja Boy and Bow Wow have been teasing their highly-publicized Verzuz for weeks. In May, Bow Wow suggested the musical clash may not happen because contracts had not been signed.
Last week, Soulja Boy declared he would give Bow Wow his Lamborghini if he takes a Verzuz loss. The Ohio-bred entertainer fired back by saying he did not want Soulja’s “old a## Lambo.”
Bow Wow and Soulja Boy have an extensive catalog of hits to play at Verzuz. SB will likely run through tracks like “Crank That (Soulja Boy)” and “Kiss Me Thru the Phone.” Viewers can expect to hear Bow’s “Bounce with Me” and “Let Me Hold You.”
