Swizz Beatz And Timbaland Secure A Distribution Deal With Elon Musk's X For Verzuz

Swizz Beatz announced on IG yesterday (6/19) that Verzuz, the platform that he and Timbaland launched during the pandemic has secured a distribution deal with Elon Musk's X, formerly known as Twitter. "It's official Verzuz is back and 100 Black owned again," he posted with a picture of himself, Musk, and Timbaland with cocktails in hand.

In 2022 the duo announced a documentary chronicling the creation and rise of Verzuz. “When we first started this mission the entire world had hit rock bottom," Swizz said. "People were going through so much and Tim and I felt we should do something to help folks escape. The rest is history, we made the magical call to Hillman Grad because we only wanted people to see the best of the best.”

“Swizz and I are excited to show the world everything that took place behind scenes during the process while celebrating the artists that helped us build Verzuz,” said Timbaland. “Thank you to our entire team, Hillman Grad, James Adolphus, Ben Selkow, Amazon, Triller, and everyone involved. Verzuz came from our love of culture and our love of music and the fact that it has become the force it is today is way beyond anything Swizz or I could’ve imagined.”
