You'll have to wait a bit to see Verzuz: Ashanti vs. Keisha Cole. Unfortunately, Ashanti tested positive for COVID-19, so this "legendary ladies' night" has been postponed to January 9.

But as Miss Mary says, there is no greater drama. Not sure how to watch? Get us ready to watch these giants of Woman to Woman. Following the massive and sometimes tense battle of Gucci Mane vs. Jeezy, Verses: Ashanti vs. Keyshia Cole is no less dramatic; the two have even voiced their positivity for the upcoming event online, with Cole tweeting: "It's okay to love us both! I approve this message!!!!"

.

Cardi B. also promoted the verses, tweeting, "Be a good person (including me) on Ashanti vs. Keisha's verses battle day."

Unfamiliar with the overall format, what is Verzuz? From start times to how to watch Verzuz online, we've compiled the details below.

For those unfamiliar with Verzuz, these shows are informal competitions between artists. Each superstar performs one hit song and then volley against each other like a tennis match. And it's the public (who express their opinions in the comments and on social media) who decides who wins.

Verzuz is so popular that Swizz Beatz (co-creator of the event) announced that the last battle (Gucci Mane vs. Jeezy) broke the "all-time live stream audience record" with 9.1 million streamers watching. This is a huge multiple of the most popular verses before it, which topped out at an estimated 1.2 million viewers for Brandi vs. Monica.

Competitors chatted during the festivities, and so far things have been both friendly and competitive, making for a fun night of spectating.

Here is a preview of the hits that will be played (via Apple Music) and all you need to know to watch Verzuz: Ashanti vs. Keisha Cole.

If you are a Spotify user, skip Apple Music, open a Verzuz IG account, and click the LIVE button. You may be directed to individual artist accounts, but you'll know that when you get there.

There is usually a bit of a wait between the 8pm EST start and the actual festivities, so there's still time to pour yourself a nice drink if you haven't already.
