Edmonds and Riley’s highly anticipated Instagram Live battle – which was planned for Saturday night – tanked due to Riley’s technical difficulties. Thankfully it’s been rescheduled for Monday at 8 p.m. EDT. The battle is part of the “Verzuz” series created by hitmakers Timbaland and Swizz Beatz to offer fans some enjoyment and music while being homebound due to the spreading coronavirus.
