Usher Say's JD Has More Than Enough Hits To Verzuz With Diddy

Usher is standing up and speaking out for his pal Jermaine Dupri telling us JD definitely has bangers to compete with Diddy on "Verzuz" despite what the latter says about it.

Usher out on Wednesday in Hollywood, when asked about this back and forth his music industry friends and mentors had about a potential song-for-song showdown on the big stage.

Sounds neat, but Puff made it seem like he was too good for all that or too good for JD, rather suggesting the dude doesn't match him on hits. To that, Usher says hold up

When we explained what Diddy's saying in response to Jermaine's proposed matchup namely, that JD isn't on his level, Usher gave us a side-eye look and then defended his longtime producing partner  who literally made "Confessions" go diamond, among many other accolades.

Usher says Jermaine absolutely has a catalog of hits that could stand up to Diddy's but he stops short of declaring who'd be the winner. His allegiance is clearly torn down the middle.

If you didn't know, Diddy gave Usher his start in the music industry and they have deep ties but Jermaine has worked with him more often, and has helped Usher reach unimaginable success. It's a tight rope of a convo, but Usher handles it pretty well.
