Fans finally got their “dream Verzuz” battle with Keyshia Cole and Ashanti.
The battle had a rocky start, the show didn’t begin until over an hour later. Ashanti was on screen by herself for some time until Keyshia arrived.
Fans, even Swizz Beatz was upset over the lateness, but KC explained what happened. During a recent interview on Live, she explained how she wasn’t late. She was in the building, however, due to technical issues, she didn’t sit in the chair. The lighting was dark and the screen was blurry.
KC admits she should have at least showed her face on camera to let fans know she was there. She was ultimately trying to avoid another Teddy Riley situation. She said,
“I want to apologize for not sitting my ass in that seat. OK? Because I was there and I should’ve sat down. I should’ve just sat in the seat no matter if I felt like the visual wasn’t clear… they said my music wasn’t gonna be right or whatever it was.” She went on to say,
“I think, more so than anything, people wanted me to sit, be present…even though they didn’t know that I was present.” Take a look at the full conversation:
