Round By Round Break Down of the Keyshia Cole vs Ashanti Verzuz Battle on IG LIVE
Round 11: Keyshia Cole – “Sent From Heaven” vs. Ashanti – “Baby”
Winner: Ashanti – “Baby”
Ashanti started first for the second half of the battle…
Round 12: Ashanti – “Only U” vs. Keyshia Cole – “Brand New”
Winner: Keyshia Cole – “Brand New”
Round 13: Fat Joe featuring Ashanti & Ja Rule – “What’s Luv?” vs. Keyshia Cole & Monica – “Trust”‘
Two different types of songs, but “What’s Luv?” was a SMASH record. “Trust” has to be released twice and still didn’t get the impact they expected…
Winner: Ashanti
Fat Joe featuring Ashanti & Ja Rule – “What’s Luv?”
Round 14: Fabolous featuring Ashanti – “So Into You” vs. Keyshia Cole & Jaheim – “I’ve Changed”
We know that everyone prefers the Tamia version…
Winner: Keyshia Cole
Keyshia Cole & Jaheim – “I’ve Changed”
Round 15: Ashanti – “Movies” vs. Sean Paul featuring Keyshia Cole – “Give It Up To Me”
Winner: Keyshia Cole
Sean Paul featuring Keyshia Cole – “Give It Up To Me”
Round 16: Ja Rule featuring Ashanti – “Mesmerize” vs. Keyshia Cole featuring Missy Elliott & Lil Kim – “Let It Go”

Round 17: Ashanti featuring The Notorious B.I.G. – “Foolish” vs. Keyshia Cole featuring Eve – “Never”
Winner: Ashanti featuring The Notorious B.I.G. – “Foolish”
Round 18: Ashanti – “Breakup 2 Makeup” vs. Keyshia Cole – “You Complete Me”
Another one that could have gone either way. I think Ashanti’s song was a bit more nostalgic in the moment for me though…
Winner: Ashanti – “Breakup 2 Makeup”
Round 19: Ashanti – “Don’t Let Them” vs. Keyshia Cole featuring Remy Ma & French Montana – “You”
Who saw these 2 songs coming in round 19 of this battle??? Respectfully, Ashanti by default.
Winner: Ashanti – “Don’t Let Them”
Round 20: Ja Rule featuring Ashanti – “Always On Time” vs.
Keyshia was a bit confused about the count, so instead of a 20th song she dropped her new single, “I Don’t Want To Be In Love With You”. So by default Ashanti wins this round and that gives her enough to take the battle…
Winner: Ashanti
Ashanti takes the battle 11 – 9
Ashanti also premiered her new single, “235: I Want You”.
