Swizz Beatz and Timbaland's Verzuz series has tapped hip-hop legends Ludacris and Nelly to go head to head in the next showdown on Instagram Live. Nelly vs. Luda will air Saturday, 5/15 at 7pm ET via their Instagram accounts.

Last week's broadcast, featuring soul icons Erykah Badu and Jill Scott, earned over 1 billion impressions across all platforms, while racking up nearly 570k viewers tuning into the live session.
