Millions of fans were tuned into Triller and Instagram Live to watch The Lox (Styles P, Sheek Louch, Jadakiss) go toe-to-toe against Dipset (Camron, Juelz Santana, Jim Jones, Freaky Zekey) at the Madison Square Garden (MSG), in a Verzuz battle that pitted New York’s toughest boroughs against each other.

Jadakiss and The Lox stand out as victors
Live events are back in full swing in the United States (US), with the country leading the global race to achieve herd immunity against COVID-19.
So, it was no surprise that the MSG was packed to the rafters with fans wearing weighty Timberland boots, camo pants, Yankee fitted hats and no face masks.
The event was a late start but as soon as both camps got on stage, it was clear as day that Jadakiss and his team were the better prepared outfit.
The Lox used their group chemistry to move the crowd and steer cheers in their favour while Dipset, the side with homeground advantage, struggled to keep up with the physically demanding pace of the live performance.
These were the best reactions on Jadakiss’ showcase on the night:
