Overview

• Dupri told The Joe Budden Podcast this week that teaming with Chris Brown could strain his decades-long bond with Usher.
• Explaining the risk, he said he might make a “Thriller”-level album with Brown and joked that “Usher would hate me for the rest of my life.”
• He added that he would be “100% Team Usher” in a potential Verzuz, noting he helped craft many of Usher’s signature hits.
• Dupri urged both artists to stick to their own styles and avoid copying one another’s moves or musical approach.
• He acknowledged past success working with Brown and expects they could deliver a hit, but there is no announced collaboration or Verzuz and no public response from Usher or Brown.
