Verzus has pulled musical heavyweights to the forefront of the Black Twitter streets. The latest duo to be debated is Usher and Chris Brown. Fans of one of R&B’s kings and the highly-favored young prince went head to head about who would take home the crown if the two were to participate in a matchup. Some claimed that Usher would wipe the floor with Breezy, while others claimed that Brown would moonwalk right over his predecessor.

Another set of fans felt like the matchup wasn’t fair at all, arguing that the two artists were from completely different eras.

Team Usher was loud and proud.
If you’re saying Chris Brown is better than Usher on Al Gore’s internet then you are confessing to the timeline that you are indeed a 12 year old.
— Miss Kae (@GoodnightKae) July 27, 2020No way y’all think Chris Brown records come close to Usher’s.

“It’s 7 oclock, on the dot, I’m in my drop top cruising the streets” has been stuck in my head for 20 years. #Usher pic.twitter.com/z8IvRU2Ubd
— Simby (@SimLuv1) July 26, 2020Y’all gon’ stop discrediting #usher for all his work, & comparing him to people who haven’t even gotten to achieve or could never achieve what he’s created for himself. Stop playin’ on this man’s name. Chris has good songs, but he ain’t no Usher Raymond. pic.twitter.com/896lQGPRjI

— Sour_Patch_Boy (@Sour_patch_boy) July 26, 2020And y’all got the audacity to use Al Gore’s Internet to say Chris Brown can beat this man in a Versuz https://t.co/yMGdiIR9vy
— Lamar Johnson (@im_lamar) July 27, 2020Exactly. Usher doesn’t ever need to put out another hit again. He was in his bag consistently for about 20 years. He even did a song with Chris Brown 20 years after he came out & it was a hit, too lol

There is a reason why chris brown was asked to do a tribute for Michael TWICE and not usher pic.twitter.com/QbeSVwC3aL
— gotta rebrand (@jaelynsrevenge) July 26, 2020The energy Chris will bring to this battle, in my opinion, will settle it in the end.The ninja of the music industry can’t lose.
— Mighty Joe Young (@TravietheSinger) July 27, 2020I would like to say Usher, but CB has too many hits. Usher is a legend, no doubt, but CB for the win.
— BHoraceParke (@HdotParke) July 27, 2020All y’all saying usher perfomed with Michael Jackson I didn’t see or hear nobody call him to do a tribute to Michael #ChrisBrown did that twice!!!!!!! pic.twitter.com/sMLttQsxyL
— Lasley&DavidTV! (@LDavidtv) July 26, 2020In the end, Brown opted out of the conversation. “Only vs ima do is CHRIS BROWN VS CHRIS BREEZY… not in competition with nobody but myself…,” he wrote beneath a video he posted on Instagram.
