For those of you who are not familiar with Verzuz, the show is like a DJ battle, where each superstar plays one hit song and the public reacts to it (through comments and social media) to determine who wins

Competitors chatted during the festivities, and so far things have been both friendly and competitive, making for a fun night of spectating
