Kanye West<\/a> has weighed in on the age-old debate over who (if anybody) could beat him in a Verzuz battle \u2014 and his answer is the most Kanye answer ever.<\/p>\n The Chicago rap icon made a surprise appearance at Deon Cole\u2019s comedy show at Hollywood Improv on Tuesday (April 7), where he hung out on stage and loosely interacted with Cole and fellow comedian Ocean Glapion throughout the night.<\/p>\n When asked if by Glapion if there is any artist out there that he views as a worthy Verzuz oopponent, Ye shook his head and replied: \u201cNobody\u201d before flashing his signature smirk.<\/p>\n Backing up his argument, Yeezy then pointed out that despite running through dozens of hits during his recent sold-out shows at Inglewood\u2019s SoFi Stadium, there were still several huge songs that he didn\u2019t perform including \u201cGold Digger\u201d and \u201cTouch the Sky.\u201d<\/p>\n While on stage, Ye also briefly spoke about the upcoming deluxe edition of Bully<\/em><\/a>, revealing it is still in the process of being finished.<\/p>\n He also (jokingly) agreed to let Deon Cole record an interlude for the project, \u00e0 la DeRay Davis\u2019 (who also popped up at Cole\u2019s show) comedic skits on The College Dropout<\/em> and Late Registration<\/em>.<\/p>\n The prospect of Kanye West participating in a Verzuz battle has fueled fan debates for years, with fellow heavyweights such as Drake<\/a>, Lil Wayne<\/a>, Eminem<\/a>, Kendrick Lamar<\/a>, 50 Cent<\/a> and Future<\/a> floated as potential opponents.<\/p>\n Swizz Beatz<\/a> revealed in 2021 that Ye was actually \u201cready\u201d to face off against Drizzy<\/a> in the popular soundclash series that he co-founded with Timbaland<\/a>, but it never materialized due to their ongoing feud at the time.<\/p>\n However, many believe that the only catalog that could stand toe-to-toe with Yeezy\u2019s belongs to his former mentor, labelmate and collaborator JAY-Z<\/a>.<\/p>\n During a recent episode of his eponymous podcast<\/a>, Joe Budden<\/a> and his co-hosts debated who would win between the Watch the Throne<\/em> duo, with all of them agreeing that it would make for a tantalizing showdown.<\/p>\n Antwan \u201cIsh\u201d Marby ultimately backed Yeezy to take the W, saying: \u201cI still think Hov is the greatest rapper ever, but when you getting up there with 20 bangers, hits\u2026 yes, Kanye can get him out of there.\u201d<\/p>\n Brian \u201cB.Dot\u201d Miller, however, was adamant that Hov would edge it, saying: \u201cIf we\u2019re talking about lead songs, I don\u2019t think that JAY-Z loses to Kanye West.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI don\u2019t either,\u201d Budden concurred.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n<\/blockquote>\n
