The Triller parent company, Proxima Media, recently struck an agreement with Swizz Beatz’ and Timbaland for the takeover of Verzuz. The acquisition of Verzuz is another step on the path to overcoming their top competitor TikTok. Although Triller’s content is significantly different from Verzuz’s, Proxima Media’s acquisition will be beneficial for expanding the audience of both applications.
We do not have access to all the terms and conditions of the acquisition, but we are aware that a prerequisite for the deal was to make the two producers and founders of Verzuz major shareholders of Triller. As a part of the agreement, all previous competitors on both season one and two of Verzuz will be receiving a portion of the value of their shares in the new Triller-Verzuz company.
During the first lockdown, Timbaland & Swizz Beats decided to host a virtual DJ battle between two prominent artists or producers. This began on the 24th of March, 2020, as an Instagram live stream. Later on, Verzuz became a brand with an official logo, website, and social media accounts. The battles were no longer held on Instagram live but rather on Apple Music and Twitter. The combination of these platforms allowed viewers to watch the battle and simultaneously talk about it on Twitter.
In a statement released to Billboard magazine, Swizz Beats and Timbaland expressed their joy concerning the acquisition. They said it was a momentous occasion for bother Triller, Verzuz, and the entire music industry. They hope that by integrating Verzuz into Triller, both will continue to flourish and evolve over time. RADIOPUSHERS and MUZIQUE Magazine are reporting on this developing story.

Tidal, the music streaming service started by Jay-Z, has been purchased by Twitter, the payments firm, of which CEO Jack Dorsey is a significant investor. Tidal co-owner Jay-Z took a 33% stake in the company and will now be a member of the board of directors. He better gets some time off the clock if he’s inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. It was said that artists would be “empowered” by this agreement. This contract is designed to support artists and help the industry as a whole. As he has said in other tweets, it’s a big deal for many people; the fact that Jack and I have discussed TID’s possibilities only serves to make me more optimistic about its future. This universal desire makes me all the more eager to be a part of the Square board.
While the concept was uncomplicated, it took a long time to put together; Dorsey claims the project actually started when he stumbled upon new ways for artists to fund their own endeavors. “With what we’ve been able to do for the cash-for-transaction vendors, we also feel we can help the artists we represent now,” he noted We’re going to start with the small and concentrate on the most essential fan bases. Dorsey also stated that Jay-Z will serve on the advisory board, which will span the company’s entirety, not just Tidal. And as well as Tidal’s “celebrity and creative spirit,” such as songs like Drake’s “Started From the Bottom” and Puff Daddy’s “Come Fly With Me,” we’re all included in his public social media posts on the same day.
Tidal confirms that rapper Jay-Z and other artists, including Rihanna and Kanye West, purchased it as an artist-owned streaming service in 2015. Per Forbes, Jay-Z had previously sold a third of the company to T-Mobile; last week, he re-bought the shares he had once sold to Sprint, now taking control of the company. Dorsey and Jay-Z first discussed the acquisition of Tidal with the press a few months ago.

Impressive streaming figures from over a hundred million plays attest to the legitimacy of Sacramento, California, rapper and RUNWAY CHALLENGE queen Stunna Girl’s claim that she is an elite MC who commands respect in the industry. Her latest mixtape, “Stunna This, Stunna That,” is available for download today.
In the preceding weeks, she set the stage for the project’s arrival with the lead single and the first track on the album, “Still Smoke,” which she freestyled in the studio. Before moving on to a new album, we decided to sample the Axel Foley classic song. She shredded through the REEFA produced beat, with teeth bared and powerful verses. It also reached #11 on Spotify’s premier hip-hop playlist, “Rap Caviar,” in addition to ranking in the top ten across all streaming platforms. While this song solidifies Rihanna’s position as one of the newest waves of fire female rappers, the story suggested that she had already lost that battle to Tyga and Rae Sremmurd’s former singer (Kid Zucc).
