T.I. took to Instagram Live to respond to Jeezy challenging him to a Verzuz battle, and it seems the two Atlanta stars are going to have an epic showdown. T.I. told viewers that they're "in for a ride," and added that "it's going to be an honor."
This comes after Busta Rhymes went back and forth with Tip over a Verzuz battle, which T.I. stated that he doesn't think was the best person to be going against them. He addressed the situation with Busta again on IG Live, stating, "I spoke to Busta. I gave him LL [Cool J]'s number. I told him, that's the tree you want to bark up. You might want to get back in the generation of yours that you want to represent for. Busta is an incredible talent. An undeniable legend. Ain't no quarrels or ain't no criticism. There's no dispute here. Just as I know with great certainty that he belongs in the generation that he represents."
He added, "If you play a record that came out in '87, what I'm gone do? Play a record that came out in '93? What am I gone do? I don't know, it just doesn't feel even keel. You know, Busta and LL... Busta and Twista... I think all of those are excellent match-ups. I know he wouldn't be avoiding them to come into the 2000 generation just to avoid a true match-up from someone in his generation."

T.I. has been debating on who he's going to go up against in a Verzuz battle, as he previously called out 50 Cent. Busta Rhymes also told Fat Joe that he wants to battle T.I., who responded and said that while he has a lot of respect and admiration for Busta, he thinks they're from two different eras.
Now, Young Jeezy has called out Tip on Instagram, telling him, "I don't know what you’re avoiding me for. I'll tell you what, though. Since it means that much to you, put a date on it."
This comes after T.I. seemingly alluded to going up against Jeezy during an interview with Complex, telling them,Everybody keep saying me and Young. But if Young wanted this smoke, he’d say it. If y’all want it, tell him to say it." Check out Jeezy's video above.
