Verzus has pulled musical heavyweights to the forefront of the Black Twitter streets. The latest duo to be debated is Usher and Chris Brown.

Fans of the R&B king and the highly favored young prince went head to head about who would take home the crown if the two were to participate in a matchup. While some claimed that Usher would wipe the floor with Breezy, others claimed that Brown would moonwalk right over his predecessor.

Another set of fans felt like the matchup wasn’t fair at all, arguing that the two artists were from completely different eras.

See what Black Twitter had to say about the hypothetical battle below. Team Usher was loud and proud.

If you’re saying Chris Brown is better than Usher on Al Gore’s internet then you are confessing to the timeline that you are indeed a 12 year old.

No way y’all think Chris Brown records come close to Usher’s.

"It's 7 oclock, on the dot, I'm in my drop top cruising the streets" has been stuck in my head for 20 years. #Usher pic.twitter.com/z8IvRU2Ubd

Y'all gon' stop discrediting #usher for all his work, & comparing him to people who haven't even gotten to achieve or could never achieve what he's created for himself. Stop playin' on this man's name. Chris has good songs, but he ain't no Usher Raymond. pic.twitter.com/896lQGPRjI

But Team Breezy was not to be overshadowed.

A lot of y’all ain’t never heard Chris Brown first album must be. Boy dere coming with Run it, Poppin, Ya man ain’t me, Say Goodbye, Winner and Gimme that off the warm up alone. Be respectful.

There is a reason why chris brown was asked to do a tribute for Michael TWICE and not usher pic.twitter.com/QbeSVwC3aL

The energy Chris will bring to this battle, in my opinion, will settle it in the end.
The ninja of the music industry can’t lose.

I would like to say Usher, but CB has too many hits. Usher is a legend, no doubt, but CB for the win.

All y’all saying usher perfomed with Michael Jackson I didn’t see or hear nobody call him to do a tribute to Michael #ChrisBrown did that twice!!!!!!! pic.twitter.com/sMLttQsxyL

In the end, Brown opted out of the conversation.

“Only vs ima do is CHRIS BROWN VS CHRIS BREEZY… not in competition with nobody but myself…,” the singer wrote beneath a video he posted on Instagram.
