According to Bloomberg, during their prior cooperation, the tech giant expressed interest in owning the webcast series. Apple, according to insiders, never participated in a bidding battle and instead offered a purchase price that was eventually rejected. Sources familiar with the situation declined to say how much Apple offered, although it’s reasonable to infer it was less than Triller had paid.
Verzuz and Apple Music previously inked a contract a few months after it launched, allowing the battle to be streamed in tandem on the Verzuz Instagram account and the Apple Music app. After Triller purchased the series for an unknown fee, the relationship came to an end.
Swizz Beatz and Timbaland introduced Verzuz in March 2020, bringing epic showdowns between industry icons and legends together for a live stream battle. The effort quickly rose to become a cultural phenomenon with millions of views per battle.
According to Bloomberg, Apple Music’s social component would have been extended as a result of the Verzuz purchase, which has been a point of struggle for the company in the past. Apple Music’s Connect platform, which attempted to bring fans and musicians together, as well as the iTunes social network Ping, were both short-lived.
