We’ve already seen some pretty iconic Instagram Live battles go down in the past few weeks, and it looks like Diddy might be the next to join in the Verzuz fun.

Yep, the music maker has hinted that fans might get to see him battle it out against non other that Dr. Dre sometime soon.

The business mogel opened up about the possibility over the weekend when he joined Fat Joe on his Instagram Live, The Joprah Show.

Diddy explained: ‘We definitely talking about it, you heard it here first. Understand we getting money together.’

Hopefully, Diddy has been able to convince Dre that it will be worth his time because the Beatz creator recently told Teddy Riley, ‘I don’t know if I’m interested. I was going back and forth with Puff earlier.’

Both men have a crazy amount of hits under their belts and have worked with just about everyone in the business, so it would treat for our quarantined ears to hear them drop their best bangers.

As you might expect, fans are already excited as one wrote: ‘If this Diddy vs Dr. Dre battle really happens it’ll literally break IG servers. I can see more than 1M tuning in for that.’

While another tweeted: ‘Diddy confirms his battle between he and Dr. Dre is in the works! WOW!! I can’t wait. Defo staying up for that one.’

In an earlier Instagram Live, Swizz Beatz admitted that a Dre vs Diddy battle was something they were trying to make happen.

He said to Timbaland: ‘I need everybody to let Dr. Dre know that this is for him. Cheers to the culture!’

Swizz added: ‘Well Tim, what I’m telling the people is, Dr. Dre, I need him to know that we need him and P. Diddy, and I’m saying that. We need Dr. Dre versus P. Diddy.

‘Pay Per View for the culture. Let’s bring the two kings in and give back to the people. This is a give back to the people. Dr. Dre, P. Diddy we are calling you to give back to the people. Pay Per View, UFC style with Verzuz. As a celebration, not a battle, a celebration.’

After Swizz Beatz and Timbaland’s Verzuz beat battle kicked off the series, we’ve seen battles between Scott Storch and Mannie Fresh, T-Pain and Lil Jon, The Dream and Sean Garrett and more.

And then there was Babyface vs Teddy Riley, which broke Verzuz records for all the wrong reasons.

The pair’s first attempt at a battle was all sorts of shambolic and soon descended into chaos with Teddy, who was near enough set-up for an actual concert, almost inaudible with his sound too low.

Hopefully thing will run smoothly when Diddy and Dre hop into the mix.
