Omarion wants to battle Chris Brown on Verzuz, fans say he's 'not on the same level'

Social media users felt that Chris Brown would be better against Usher or Drake as Omarion did not enjoy an extensive discography

Omarion, who is best known as the lead singer of the American R&B boy band B2K, dropped hints about going head-to-head with R&B star Chris Brown. While entertaining the thought in a recent interview with ‘Big Tigger Morning Show’, the California native said that there were only a handful of people who had the potential of going against him and when asked if he would be interested in locking horns with Brown, the singer did not shy away to express his interest.

Fans most recently enjoyed the heated Verzuz battle of Ja Rule and Fat Joe. Social media users felt that Brown would be better against Usher or Drake as Omarion did not enjoy an extensive discography. Speaking of the face-offs, Jermaine Dupri had recently challenged hip-hop mogul Diddy for a Verzuz battle. The former taunted him a few times on Fat Joe’s Instagram Live, but Bad Boy CEO made it very clear that he will go only against Dr Dre and no one else. For the unversed, Verzuz battles were started by Timbaland and Swizz Beatz back in March 2020.

 Is Chris Brown up for a Verzuz against Omarion?

Talking about the potential Verzuz against Brown, Omarion asserted, “I think it would only be a handful of people that I feel like that it would be a good Verzuz.” He added, “I think there’s a few people out there that I could do, but it’s a small class of people who perform like myself.” When asked by the host to throw a few names, the 36-year-old crooner said, “Like I said, it’s only a few people. People have been throwing around some names.” When the host suggested Chris Brown’s name, he stated, “That would be dope,” as reported by Revolt.

Omarion might be interested in a showdown with Brown but the latter is yet to respond to the statement. However, in July 2020 the ‘Loyal’ hitmaker had shared that he was not interested in Verzuz at the time adding that the only person he would love to do the face-off was himself. Sharing a clip of himself dancing, he captioned the video as, “Only vs ima do is CHRIS BROWN VS CHRIS BREEZY… not in competition with nobody but myself”, as reported by RapUp. The post was later removed from social media. In March 2021, Verzuz co-founder Timbaland had claimed that Brown would beat Usher in a Verzuz face-off.

‘The only competition for Chris Brown would be Usher’

Social media users left no stone unturned to troll Omarion as they claimed that Brown would be better off against Usher or Drake. “Chris Brown and Drake could only go up against one another when it comes to #Verzuz”, said one person as another stated, “Omarion would get waxed by Chris Brown in a #Verzuz”. One user said, “All chris brown has to play is say goodbye and omarion aint gonna have a chance.”
 
The next one added, “Chris Brown and Omarion are not on the same level. At all. Chris has 15 years of world records. Omarion has dated B2K records, a handful of solo shit, and forgettable features over the last decade. Chris Brown just can’t do this verzuz with anybody.” Whereas, one posted, “Only person I could see goin up against Chris brown in a Versuz is Usher.” Another person added, “I didn’t realize how much people were into Chris Brown’s music until these verzuz debates started.. but the Usher comparison let me know y’all don’t have good sense anyways.” And, one user asserted, “Omarion has 3 songs Chris brown should have did usher like we asked and give us a show.” While, one concluded, “Omarion getting washed by Chris Brown. The only competition for Chris brown would be vs Usher that’s it.”
