It's official! Rick Ross and French Montana are set to face off in a 'Verzuz' battle next month. Both rappers have a catalog of hits throughout the 2010s, including a few features, but for one night, they will be on opposite ends.

Complex reports that the Verzuz battle will take place on May 7 at the Apple Music Studios in Los Angeles. The battle will be able to stream live on Apple Music starting at 9:30 p.m. ET.

Previously, Rick Ross faced off against 2 Chainz during their Verzuz in 2020. Ross walked away the winner from that battle. But this time, French Montana will be tackling the Verzuz stage for the first time.

Social media is already speculating about who they think will be victorious. Many feel Ross will easily take the win, while others believe French Montana is pretty good competition. The battle has been deemed to bring the club to the Verzuz stage.

Will you be tuning in on May 7?
