According to CNN, R&B fans will have to wait until January 2021 for the Verzuz battle between Ashanti and Keyshia Cole. <br />Songstress Ashanti announced on Saturday that she tested positive for COVID-19. She posted a video for her fans on Instagram. <br />Ashanti said, "Never in a million years did I think I would get COVID." <br />She wanted to still continue with the Verzuz from her house, but it was later reported that a tech challenge prevented the show from going live on Saturday. <br />Verzuz shared on Instagram, "First time this has struck us so close to showtime...We apologize to our incredible audience! Get well soon, Ashanti."<br />Verzuz is a series by Swizz Beatz and Timbaland. <br />It launched as a way to engage music fans during quarantine with R&B and hip-hop battles, and has since become a cultural phenomenon on social media.
