Two of the rap game's biggest hitmakers and trendsetters -- Atlanta's Future and Houston's Travis Scott -- were recently rumored for a Verzuz showdown. While a lot of hip-hop fans were hyped at the idea, according to Future's manager, there is nothing actually in the works.
Future Verzuz Travis Scott?
The original source of the Future vs. Travis Scott rumor was said to be Verzuz co-creator Timbaland‘s manager. However, Future’s manager Anthony Saleh quickly dispelled that talk.
“I love verzuz but this isn’t true”
