Boosie Badazz believes he and Webbie would be an unstoppable force in a VERZUZ, and he's challenging anyone who thinks otherwise to prove him wrong.
During a recent appearance on The Breakfast Club, the Baton Rouge rappers discussed their musical legacy, with Boosie making it clear that he doesn't believe any other hip-hop duo could compete with their catalog.
"I will argue with anybody about that. I feel like nobody, no two motherfuckers could touch me and Webbie, or what we did for hip-hop," Boosie said. "We done raised a lot of people and I feel like we don't get the credit we deserve. I don't see no duo who can stand on side of us in a VERZUZ. Like we going to smash anybody."
When Charlamagne Tha God suggested potential opponents such as T.I. and Young Dro, Boosie wasn't impressed, even dismissing the idea of facing some of the South's biggest rap stars.
"T.I. and Dro couldn't fuck with us," he declared. "Nobody."
Boosie continued to shoot down other possible pairings such as UGK and Outkast before Webbie suggested that the only matchup worth considering would involve him and Boosie facing each other.
"Me against you [Boosie]. His music against my music," Webbie said. "That's the only thing that would make sense."
The rapper also argued that their influence can't be measured strictly through traditional album sales, pointing to the mixtape and burned-CD era that helped build their careers.
"We sold 100 million burned CDs. We came up in that era... you can't talk about numbers and try to compare us," Boosie said. "Most of the people who ever heard Boosie or Webbie, they first saw it on a burnt CD. So you can't you can't talk about numbers and try to compare us."
Boosie also highlighted the immense popularity of their music in cities across the South and beyond, including Dallas, St. Louis, Oakland and Birmingham. Their comments arrive as the longtime collaborators celebrate their reunion following years of tension.
After a public falling-out in 2020, Boosie and Webbie eventually reconnected in the studio and released their nine-track collaborative project Back At It on Oct. 24, featuring the single "Pull Up."
A potential appearance would add another high-profile pairing to VERZUZ's growing lineup under Complex. Since returning in October 2025, the series has featured several major events, including YG vs. The Game, B2K vs. Pretty Ricky, French Montana vs. Rick Ross and Donell Jones vs. Joe.
Other notable VERZUZ events include Carl Thomas vs. Case, Mike WiLL Made-It vs. Hit-Boy and Cash Money Records vs. No Limit Records. Each matchup came with official VERZUZ merch and exclusive GAS trading cards on Complex Shop, where standard cards go for $19.99 and limited cracked ice foil parallels run $49.99.
