It has been in the works that T.I. and Jeezy will go head to head in the upcoming Verzus battle. Having two of the three founding fathers of trap music battling online on Verzuz would have been iconic. Gucci who gave trap music an exceptional sound refuses to participate. 

In an interview with the Breakfast Club, Jeezy explains how doing a Verzuz battle came about. When he was first approached it was Swizz Beatz who reached out but Jezzy had one request, “Yo, Swizz… If  I do it, there’s only one person I’d do it with.” Swizz Beatz inquired as to whom Jezzy was referring to, and he responded “Gucci, reach out to him. Let me know what’s up.” Swizz hit back and said “he respectfully declined,” Jeezy continued, “Cool. Done. Kept it moving. I was gonna do it for the culture.” 

Unlike Tip and Jeezy, Guwop has had some altercations with both rappers. 

Gucci took to twitter saying, “Stop asking me about doing a @verzuzonline battle unless they got a million dollars they scared of Wop.”

Even though a Gucci vs Jeezy battle on Verzuz would have been a game changing event, Jeezy is not letting it affect his upcoming battle with Tip.
