Swizz and Timbaland suing Triller over Verzuz

Man i would of sold that shit to the highest bidder too.

People are outside again and versuz is now dead.

Triller knows it's dead.
 
Not mad at them for cashing in something they created off of IG Live vids. But they saw that:

1) Whatupdoe said it: people back outside and VZ don't hit like it used to
2) Unless they're planning on having a tourney, putting artists on only once don't work

And decided it was time to get out. Triller boxing was the only thing keeping it afloat, and they stopped doing that.
 
The white man put a bag in front of some of these fools and they can't wait to sell out. Meanwhile preaching the importance of "black ownership"


I personally took issue with how Tm & Swizz kept going on & on about how them selling it would be so good & great “for the culture “ when the truth is all they were looking out for was their own pockets.

I would have had no problem had they just came out and said “ the truth we’re both in financial debt and really need this money and that’s why we sold it fast when the opportunity presented itself.”
 
Remember when they said they didnt sell out, tried to tell us some nonsense that they still own it and sold it to themselves like we're stupid.

Except the second part would of been a bold face lie. Its like no matter how successful they are, they always market their new venture for "us", "we" or "the culture", then the sec its worth a few coins, they sell it to the people they were speaking out against, like it was losing them a massive amount of money.

Exactly my point
And to me it’s just another form of exploitation of the black community
 
I remember Joe Budden said they offered him a number so high he got shook and thought it was some bullshit and wondered what they wanted for all that money.

I can't blame them for selling it,hindsight is 20/20

That's how these white folks get wealthy.

Start some shit then sale it for dumb money to a bigger company.

28 mill not bad for some shit you started on U Stream and IG live.

This is fucked up.They probably didn't pay cause they ain't got it.

They are not Triller.

Who said anything about doing it for free? You're acting like 2 teens started this and sold it cuz they were in over their heads. These were 2 people that both have like 8 figure homes.

You mean it was too complicated and expensive to get sponsorships for an event you broadcasted on IG? They been in the biz and did this for how long.

I just feel like I keep seeing shit where we have black people who are successful millionaires, yet act so desperate for money.

So this turned out to be super accurate. They really tried to flip it and make it seem like they were doing it for the black community, when they just though they were gunna make a crazy amount of money.

This is my and possibly others beef with this whole thing. If yall made something and decided to sell it when offered a lot of money, thats fine, it is what it is. Just say you got a crazy offer so you sold it. But dont come with that bullshit 'we gotta come together.. blah blah, the culture' story to start it, and when you sell it, follow up with more nonsense, "I did this is for us, If i win, we win" fuckery. Sound no different than those grimey pastors.

Really sold it and were telling people they made the blackest tech company and that them selling was gunna put a bunch of money back into the black community. These niggas was bugging

Timbaland And Swizz Beatz On Selling Verzuz: 'We Haven't Led You Wrong Thus Far' | Essence

In explaining their deal with Triller Network, the producer duo says selling doesn't automatically mean sellout.

When Black Twitter got wind of the news that Timbaland and Swizz Beatz sold Verzuz earlier this month, a few understood what the producer duo was doing. Many more had questions and even criticisms about their decision to sell the popular digital franchise to Triller Network, however.

“Automatically when you hear sell, you’re gonna think (sell)out because a lot of people are just reading the headlines,” Swizz Beatz tells ESSENCE. “I told Tim we just have to be patient with our culture, have patience with our people because one thing they can tell you is me and Tim never sold out anything.”

The duo just won an NAACP Image Award for Outstanding Variety Series, and from the details shared about their deal with Triller, Timbaland and Swizz are putting even more money back into the Black community’s hands by selling the brand.

“It’s by the artist, for the artist with the creative. What we did is we took Verzuz, put it into a multi-billion dollar company that has the evaluation and took every single Black creative that was on that stage with us and made them owners in the platform. Verzuz Triller is probably the Blackest tech company today. I’m almost sure it is,” adds Swizz who pointed out if the company goes public fans will also have the opportunity to buy stock in the business.

Explaining that the point of building a business is to sell it, Timbaland adds, “You just gotta have patience. We haven’t led you wrong thus far, trust us. Trust us. We’re for y’all. We didn’t make you pay, we didn’t make you do nothing. We just give you love and excitement. We fight for the culture. We fight. So just trust us. We got it.”
