Fans of SWV and Xscape were given a long-awaited epic showdown during the iconic Verzuz battle on Saturday but the night didn’t start of without a hitch as Coko, who was the former lead singer for SWV seemingly appeared to be “irritated” during the first half of the showdown.

Taking to her Instagram page, the 50-year old admitted to viewer’s observations and shared the reason for her behaviour.

Coko explained: “Last night as I’m preparing for Verzuz, a lady was shot outside my hotel window. To see & hear the four shots, see her laying on the ground and all the blood was unbelievable!! Thennnn…I get to the venue and had a really bad anxiety attack!😱 Literally crying & screaming.

Yeah y’all saw me looking uncomfortable & irritated during the first half but, if it wasn’t for my son @jayyemichael@ynottamiya & @mrljb I probably wouldn’t have been out there at all.

She went on: Thank you for calming me down & understanding my mental. I love y’all to the fullest!!❤️❤️❤️ I always say most won’t care to understand but when you get those that do cherish them!!🌹🌹 #mentalhealth#mentalhealthawareness#verzuz#swv#coko#myvillage”

Well, that explains a lot, and we are so proud of Coko for pushing through such a horrific incident in order to come deliver an awesome night to her fans.
