We’re seeing a lot of interest from fans who are drawn not only to the potential physical contest but to the symbolic battle between two of hip-hop’s giants. This fight, if it were to happen, would transcend the usual sports betting—it’s about narratives, pride, and showcasing skills that go beyond music.”
