Fat Joe and Ja Rule went head to head on Tuesday night at the Hulu Theater at Madison Square Garden for Verzuz. With over 400K viewers on Instagram, alone it was quite the party.
Each artist had their own special guests including songstress Ashanti who performed with both rappers at certain points in the night. With that said, Nelly who was a guest of Fat Joe caught everyone’s eye as we all anticipated what the interaction would be like when he saw his old flame, Ashanti.
Let’s just say the tweets did not disappoint:

She legit wasn’t stopping her dance to meet his “heyyyyy, long time” hug energy. She stayed in her bop like he wasn’t approaching humbly ??

In addition to the hilarious or awkward encounter with Nelly, Ashanti was the real winner during Verzuz, she looked beautiful and performed well with both rappers.

I truly love Ashanti. Ashanti went out there and killed it. She won for the night. 1. Got to perform for both sides.
2. Got a birkin bag.
3. Got that hug from Nelly.
4. Looked good.#verzuztv #versuz #ASHANTI #JaRuleVsFatJoe #FatJoe #jarule pic.twitter.com/KN7wX9U6Ws— Wavy J (@jainne_sat) September 15, 2021
