As R&B fans await news that Keyshia Cole and Ashanti will indeed go song-for-song on Verzuz, the debate about who is accomplished enough to go up against Chris Brown rages on. Ever since Verzuz launched on Instagram months ago, Chris Brown's career has been a popular topic of conversation. There have been a few names tossed around by fans as formidable opponents for the Indigo singer—most notably Usher—but if you're anticipating an announcement about a Chris Brown Verzuz, you might be wasting your time.
