Nostalgic millennials, R&B lovers and pelvic thrust enthusiasts watched talented freaky-deakies Beautiful Ricky go hit-for-hit with teeny-bop heart-throbs B2K in last night’s viral Verzuz battle that sparked hilarious hysteria all over the internet.
At first glance it didn’t seem like a fair match, and it wasn’t, as Pretty Ricky dominated from start to finish with their trademark showmanship, messy musings and provocative anthems like ‘Grind On Me’, ‘Love Like Honey’ and ‘One The Hotline’.
Where B2K failed to build momentum with arguably more mainstream hits, Pretty Ricky (decorated in the reddest shades of red) capitalized with crowd-pleasing moments like Spectacular aggressively gyrating on ladies in chairs from the audience.
As expected, Omarion tried (and mostly failed) to save the day with solo hits like “Ice Box” that failed to catch on amid the increasingly lopsided cheers for thousands of people online.
And yes, not even a watermelon could have saved B2K from Pretty Ricky’s string of hits.
According to Complex‘s official scorecard, B2K lost every round in a stunningly thorough victory that many people didn’t see happening like this.
What should have been a victory lap for B2K ahead of the group’s first new single in over twenty years (“Mileage”), turned into an embarrassing defeat that led to an endless series of jokes on social media.
