Mariah Carey’s ex says the only person who could do a ‘Verzuz’ with her is R. Kelly...

During his appearance on 'The Breakfast Club' this week, Nick Cannon was asked if there was anyone who could go up against his ex-wife Mariah Carey in a Verzuz battle. “The only person in this day and age that could’ve gone against Mariah Carey... because she writes all of her songs, she actually produces all of her songs, she puts the songs together and performs them at a high level... (is) R. Kelly,” replied the super seed spreader. 

Even if this is true, no one would care about doing one with a sex offender and a paedophile. Kelly has ruined his legacy and any respect he had in the industry is long gone. A handful of fans would still probably support his music if he released independently, but his commercial days are well and truly over. Does Cannon just say things for the sake of saying it because he craves attention? The only person Mariah Carey could have done a Verzuz with is no longer here.

Keith Sweat writes and produces the majority of his songs, didn't stop him doing a highly enjoyable Versuz with Bobby Brown (and losing to him). I get it, he wanted to big up his ex-wife and her talents, but he could've kept P. Kelly out of it and yeah just said Whitney, MJ, Aretha, Marvin Gaye etc and bigged her up in that way.

Agreed! He was not that prolific to be compared to Mariah and even if he was, there’s no way in hell you should suggest that sex offender R. Kelly should ever again be spoken in the same sentence and MC. Nick has been a little out there lately and it just seems so out of place to suggest that person to ever do a verzuz with her.

I agree with all of you, but somewhere he is right though it is hard to put mariah in a verzus with anyone. if you want to do it considering , age group, equal talent , longevity , writing , producing etc etc etc who else?? their either dead or in jail : ) SO I have the right Verzus idea for Mariah...
Just let Mariah sit there and do a verzus between her original songs vs the remixes!! now that is firreeeee

It doesn't surprise me that Nick Cannon would say this. R.Kelly produced Giggolo, which was Nick Cannon's best & biggest song. So are we realy surprised by this?

@Anon - he produced quite a few songs on the album.
