John Legend Is Ready To Battle Alicia Keys In A 'Verzuz' Battle

essence.com:

Now that Erykah Badu and Jill Scott gave neo-soul lovers what they craved last Saturday, John Legend wants to step into the Verzuz ring with Alicia Keys.

Is it time for two R&B legends to square up? We sure hope so. During an interview on Power 106 last week, host Nick Cannon theorized that it was “only a matter of time” before the popular live music competition series tapped the EGOT winner to participate and suggested that Keys might make a worthy opponent.

Legend said he was eager to battle with Keys given their mutual talent for tickling the ivorys.  “I think that’d probably be the best thing.

And honestly I think we would do it,” said the Grammy Award-winning singer, adding that they could even perform a “a dueling piano thing.” #Nic
