In a Verzuz battle between The Lox and Dipset, it was Jadakiss who stole the Madison Square Garden show.
Emerging on the stage as part of The Lox in Tuesday's battle, the 46-year-old emcee put his legendary rap skills on full display and created quite a buzz on the internet.
“Are you kidding me? We got Grammys! These n***as don’t know what Grammys look like. They know what grams look like,” Jadakiss said in reference to the group's on-stage rival, Dipset.
The hashtag "Grammy" then started trending on Twitter as social media continued to buzz about the battle, Meaww reported.
The artist's latest performance reaffirmed his position as one of the greatest rappers of all time.
