The Three 6 Mafia vs. Bone Thugs-N-Harmony battle has been postponed!

The legendary groups were set to battle last night. The iconic rap groups weren't a apart of the official Verzuz series, but they wanted to do a battle for the culture to celebrate over 50 combined years of hits in the industry. Well, they ended up getting in touch with Swizz & Timbaland and now they'll officially be battling via the Verzuz series!

The new date will be announced soon.

BONUS:

Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds recently announced he'll be hosting a "Waiting To Exhale" soundtrack event on Instagram similar to his epic Verzuz battle with Teddy Riley a few weeks ago. On Mother's Day (May 10th), the legendary producer will hop on IG Live to play music from the 1995 classic "Waiting To Exhale" soundtrack while providing stories about how the songs came out.

"There were so many people on Instagram Live that wanted to hear music from the 'Waiting to Exhale' [soundtrack] and so I thought this would be great, Mother’s Day, to play the 'Waiting to Exhale' album, to tell stories, tell how it all happened and talk about the artists," Babyface told the ladies on "The View."

"Because that was half the fun of it all in doing the Instagram Live was being able to tell stories and tell things people were so interested in that, so I thought it would be fun to do as well," he said.

Yep. We'll be attending this virtual event as well. Mother's Day Weekend is going to be LIT.
