On the latest episode of the Club 520 podcast, former NBA star Jeff Teague suggested that Jay-Z could beat all of Young Money — Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, and Drake — in a 20-song Verzuz.
At around the 30-minute mark of the podcast, as seen above, Teague spoke about hypothetical Verzuz match-ups with his co-hosts, DJ Wells and B Hen.
“I asked y’all in the [group] chat… ‘Does anybody want to battle?’ Like, ‘Does anybody believe Lil Wayne can win?’” said Teague. “It was quiet in the chat.”
Teague then said that if anyone could beat Wayne, it would be Jay-Z. But he then took things a step further.
“I’m taking Hov against the field,” he said. “I will take Hov against Cash Money, including Drake, Nicki, all them. … He could beat that whole label.”
Teague said even if the trio picked their best songs, they wouldn’t stand a chance against Jay-Z’s catalog. One of his co-hosts suggested that it could be a better match-up if it was those three against all of Roc-A-Fella, but Teague disagreed.
“No, that’s not even fair,” he insisted.
DJ Wells suggested a three-on-three scenario, with Hov, the artist formerly known as Kanye West, and Rihanna facing off against Drake, Wayne, and Nicki.
“Kanye could beat the whole Cash Money by itself, and Jay could beat [them],” Teague insisted, though he also insisted that he’s a big fan of Nicki, joking that he was a “Ken,” in a nod to her fanbase, the Barbs.
