This is not the first gospel battle on Verzuz, as Kirk Franklin and Fred Hammond faced off in June 2020.
Aside from the Easter Sunday battle, other battles were also announced, but with the artists soon to be announced. There will be a Mother’s Day special on May 8 and a boxing special on May 14. On June 19, there will be a Juneteenth special, as the next day is a national holiday this year.
In July, fans will see the first label matchup.
