More than 165,000 viewers virtually filed in to watch the action on VerzuzTV s Instagram Live, while the stars were out in Miami supporting their hip-hop compatriots. DaBaby, Nas, Rick Ross, Fabolous, Busta Rhymes and more were on hand to show love for the battle dedicated to the late DMX, who passed away in April. I dedicate this show to my brother DMX, and Timbaland s sister Aaliyah, Swizz stated.
After two hours of heating up the nightclub s center stage, Timbo and Swizz came together to celebrate the platform they built together from the ground up in just a year. Swizz gifted his Verzuz co-founder with a custom airbrushed jacket featuring portraits of his frequent collaborators Aaliyah and Missy Elliott, before riding off to DMX playing in the background.
