We’ve been enjoying Verzuz for years, and the series is changing things up for the next event next week. There have been speculations for a few days that the next Verzuz matchup will be between Omarion and Mario, and the platform verified the claims today (June 17). Hundreds of musicians from various walks of life have performed on the Verzuz stage, and next Thursday (June 23), fans will be treated to “A Night of R&B” when the B2K leader squares off against his seasoned colleague.

This will be broadcast live from Los Angeles, but Omarion and Mario aren’t the only performers on the bill.

This Verzuz will have openers in addition to the main event, according to Verzuz. We’ve seen DJs fill the room by hyping up the crowd for a night of reliving our favourite oldies with hitmakers, but it appears that this R&B event will be a little different.

According to the advertisement, musicians will pair up to open for the headliners, and it appears like Ray J and Bobby V will battle Pleasure P and Sammie. This is shaping up to be an evening dedicated to 2000s songs, and word is already spreading about the impressive roster.
