The Verzuz series has become one of many popular online live-music venues over the past six weeks, as a number of artists have held virtual concerts from their homes during the coronavirus pandemic.

Legendary producers Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds and Teddy Riley participated in a wildly successful Verzuz event in April that drew hundreds of thousands of viewers. Many people on Twitter even reported difficulty joining the packed live feed.

On Friday, other celebrities and fans celebrated the announcement of the upcoming music battle between Badu and Scott.

“That’s gonna be fun,” singer Keri Hilson commented on Instagram.

“WOOOOOOOOOW,” wrote singer Justine Skye.

Relegated Sheffield United are a Premier League laughing stock – they may be gone for a while
At some clubs they ban the “R” word during the season, as relegation is unthinkable. But it has been a different story at Sheffield United, where dropping back to the Championship has come off a long run-up and was confirmed at St James’ Park. They have not won two consecutive matches all season and even victory in their final three games will see them rooted in the bottom three.

The Israel Defence Forces are the most moral soldiers in the world
Just when coverage of Israel in much of the broadcast media couldn’t seem any more spiteful and misleading – the slippage into the mainstream of slurs like “genocide” and “famine”, for instance, neither of which are remotely accurate descriptions for what is going on in Gaza – a story breaks that destroys all my remaining confidence that such outlets will cover the war impartially.

Donald Trump is running against Joe Biden. But he keeps bringing up another Democrat: Jimmy Carter
As Donald Trump campaigns for a return to the White House, he often reaches back more than 40 years and seven administrations to belittle President Joe Biden by comparing him to 99-year-old Jimmy Carter. Most recently, Trump used his first campaign stop after the start of his criminal hush money trial in New York to needle the 46th president by saying the 39th president, a recently widowed hospice patient who left office in 1981, was selfishly pleased with Biden's record. “Biden is the worst president in the history of our country, worse than Jimmy Carter by a long shot,” Trump said in a variation of a quip he has used throughout the 2024 campaign, including as former first lady Rosalynn Carter was on her deathbed.
