How iconic if she did. But I hope she serves a hot uptempo as the lead.

I can't believe she's at album #8 already.
Everything she's released since "Trust & Believe" feels like a blur to me. :sip2:

What to expect if Keyshia Cole and Ashanti do a versus battle
After the colossal success of the versus battle between Brandy and Monica, people are wondering who will be the next pair of artists to battle. In the comments of DMX and Snoop Dogg’s versus battle, Keyshia Cole invited Ashanti for a versus battle. “Ashanti what’s good,” with a heart emoji Cole said in an Instagram live chat room. “Keyshia Cole what’s upppppp,” Ashanti replied with heart emojis. Ashanti would discuss the battle with rapper Fat Joe on Instagram live. When Fat Joe asked about her thoughts on the battle, Ashanti responded optimistically. “Listen, if they want to see it, I ain’t mad,” Ashanti said. The versus battle is a webcast series created by acclaimed producers Timberland and Swizz Beatz. It started early in the pandemic when Timberland and Swizz Beatz had a virtual DJ battle on Instagram live. Since then, a number of legends have brought their catalogues to Instagram live to battle, including Babyface and Teddy Riley, Erykah Badu and Jill Scott, and Brandy and Monica to name a few. R&B titans Keyshia Cole and Ashanti both got their starts in the 2000s. Ashanti blasted on to the scene in 2002, with her eponymous debut album. Along with being featured on hit songs with rappers like Ja-rule and Fat-Joe, Ashanti was R&B’s new “It girl.” The R&B-pop titan put out hits like “Foolish,” “Rock with you” and “Happy,” to name a few. The Grammy winning artist has sold 15 million records world-wide and sung some of the most memorable feel-good hits of the 2000s. Keyshia Cole released her debut album “The way it is” in 2005. The urban R&b princess is often compared to the hip-hop soul queen, Mary J Blige; because of her signature themes of hurt and expression in her songs. Her discography includes classics like “Love,” “Let it go,” and “Trust.” In 2009, Billboard ranked Cole among the top 10 R&B/Hip-Hop artists of the 2000s. Ashanti and Keyshia Cole collaborated on the song, “Woman to woman,” a song from Keyshia Cole’s 2012 album of the same name. Both artists have had their share of hits, and even though Ashanti has a smaller catalogue, she is not to be underestimated. Ashanti was more successful with pop audiences, which made her songs inescapable in the early 2000s. Cole appealed more to urban radio, but she still was able to create some classics with that audience. The Keyshia Cole and Ashanti versus battle will be an experience that will create 2000s’ nostalgia highlighting their timeless hits.

Kimberly is always feuding with anybody with an IG account. She needs to clean her own house before coming at anyone else.

I’m always ready for new Keyshia.. only misstep in her discography was Point of No Return but outside of that she knows how to make a quality album. I need that release date, all this “#album8” talk is going to drag after a while (to ^ your point)

Ashanti would be the most likely choice. A few months ago there was an agreement between the two camps abt doing it. However it is puzzling she announced it before Versuz did.

I remember thinking Ciara vs. Ashanti or Keyshia Cole needed to happen months back. All 3 were sorta of in the same tier of having a great & iconic run in 2000s R&B with their first few albums.
I'm so excited for this, ngl. Keyshia has some FINE aging songs... she automatically wins one round off "Love" alone, which Ashanti just isn't topping with any song.

I'm team Keyshia, but Ashanti can hold her own.
I think Keyshia is the one that can make a bigger comeback with the right team behind her.

This is a good match up. Definitely Ashanti can hold her own especially once she drops “Foolish” and “Baby”. However Keyshia will slay her repeatedly as her peak lasted a bit longer.

Substantively single-wise, Keyshia wins hands down but Ashanti (especially with her features) will be fun for the nostalgia.

I'm rooting for both even though Keyshia is my personal favorite!
Chartwise, Ashanti in fact has more Top-10 hits. She was bigger among the general public from 2002-04:
"Always on Time" #1 "What's Luv?" #1 "Foolish" #1 "Happy" "Down 4 U" "Awww Baby (Rock Wit U)" "Rain on Me" "Mesmerize" "Into You" "Wonderful"
Keyshia only has "Let It Go", "Give It Up to Me" and "Last Night". None of her solo materials reached Top 10 outside genre charts. Her commercial peak was between 2006-08. So I never really see them as contemporaneous acts.
Anyways, look forward to hearing them perform this together once again!
