Raz-B raised the temperature around B2K vs Pretty Ricky with an Instagram Story warning ahead of the Thursday, June 25 Verzuz battle. He told Pretty Ricky not to mistake his silence for weakness, a message that landed before the groups were set to go track for track.
“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,” he wrote. “If any of y’all get out of line, I got something for every last one of y’all.”
Pretty Ricky Verzuz shifts tone
After Raz-B’s post started making rounds online, Pleasure P joined a livestream with Bow Wow and drew a hard line around Pretty Ricky’s approach. “I ain’t doing no solos. I came to do group s**t,” he said, then pushed the idea further: “So if they run out of songs, f*** that! It’s album against album.”
That response turned a scheduled music matchup into a public test of rules before the first song even played. B2K and Pretty Ricky were already framed as a track-for-track battle, and Pleasure P made clear that he wanted the set to stay inside the group catalog rather than drift into solo material.
Raz-B keeps the edge
Raz-B tried to soften the warning without backing away from it. “And I mean that with nothing but love and respect,” he wrote, but the message still carried a line in the sand for anyone who got out of line.
Pleasure P answered with a sharper boundary of his own: “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.” He also said that if Omarion performs any solo songs during the battle, he is packing his bags and walking out.
The practical read for listeners is straightforward: the battle is no longer just about who has the deeper set list. It is also about whether both sides stick to group records under the pressure of a public Verzuz stage, or whether one stray solo changes the tone before the matchup is even over.
Thursday, June 25 is the date to watch, because that is when the performance question becomes real. If both sides follow the group-only script Pleasure P drew up, the night stays inside the rivalry that Verzuz was built to sell; if not, Raz-B’s warning is the line everyone will remember.
