Raz-B has fans scratching their heads after he dropped a message on social media ahead of B2K and Pretty Ricky’s upcoming Verzuz battle. In the middle of that, Pleasure P jumped on a livestream with Bow Wow to spill a lil’ tea about his game plan for the highly-anticipated music face-off.
Okay, so BOOM! Raz-B recently hopped on his Instagram Story with a message for Pretty Ricky ahead of the Verzuz battle on Thursday, June 25. Fans know that B2K and Pretty Ricky are set to go track for track, but before they hit the stage, Raz wanted to make on thing clear “he can get turnt up too.”He told the group in his PSA that he wants to have a good time and catch a vibe, but he also reminded them that his silence shouldn’t be mistaken for weakness.
“Don’t get it twisted, though. While we’re all out here celebrating, getting our flowers, and giving the fans what they came to see, don’t take my silence for weakness,” Raz wrote.
However, he added that he meant every word with all due respect.“If any of y’all get out of line, I got something for every last one of y’all.” He continued, “And I mean that with nothing but love and respect.”
Fans wasted no time sharing their thoughts in The Shade Room’s comment section after Raz-B dropped his message. Plenty of folks admitted they felt confused by his post, while others made it clear they’re riding with Pretty Ricky when the Verzuz battle kicks off.

Instagram user @yanah_____ wrote, “Who he feeling like ”
While Instagram user @kidinfamous wrote, “Raz B is literally the least threatening person out of both groups ”
Then Instagram user @justjasminenoelle wrote, “Comparing a TEEN BAND to an ADULT BAND is crazy. They are not in the same orbit. TBH they shouldnt be doing a Verzuz. ”
Another Instagram user @shelovecj wrote, “He could have kept this to himself.”
Then another Instagram user @nolimitnook wrote, “I fw wit b2k but as a group they not fw pretty ricky respectfully ”
While another Instagram user @shanae310 wrote, “I love B2k and all, but pretty Ricky stays in Rotation”
Not long after Raz-B’s PSA started making rounds online, Pleasure P jumped on a livestream with Bow Wow to set a few things straight. He made it clear that he has no plans to perform any of his solo records and intends to stick strictly to Pretty Ricky’s group hits.
“I ain’t doing no solos. I came to do group s**t.” Pleasure added, “So if they run out of songs, f*** that! It’s album against album.”
Pleasure P also doubled down on his stance about Omarion, telling viewers that if Omarion performs any solo songs during the battle, he’s packing his bags and walking out. He then threw a little shade, saying that if Omarion reaches for solo tracks, it just means that B2K ran out of songs to perform.“I ain’t come to do no solo’s. This the Pretty Ricky show. This ain’t Pleasure P show. It’s about my group n***a.”
