For nearly 24 hours now, T.I. has been on social media demanding 50 Cent accept a face-off on Verzuz. For Tip, it's clearly deeper than just going against 50 Cent.

T.I. erupted into uncontrollable laughter while seemingly wielding his phone around.
"Tony Yayo didn't like the way I got down with but I guess he wanted me to me to bomb," he said.
