(CNN)The latest\u00a0Verzuz<\/a>\u00a0between reggae artists Beenie Man and Bounty Killer was the party everyone expected as the two artists battled in person in Jamaica<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

It was the first time two musicians competed physically as the previous Verzuz battles were all virtual.<\/p>\n

Beenie Man and Bounty Killer came ready with coordinated outfits, each with their own DJs and a dancer.<\/p>

“This is how we represent the culture … At the end of the day, it’s a musical sport,” Bounty Killer said at the end of the two-hour livestream as he and Beenie Man sang Bob Marley’s “One Love<\/a>.”<\/p>

More than 450,000 people tuned in Saturday including Barbadian singer Rihanna and Jamaican Olympic gold medalist Usain Bolt.<\/p>\n

“Why my social media looks like this, though?” tweeted author Jos\u00e9 Vilson with a picture of cartoons twerking.<\/p>\n

At one point, the police showed up, according to the artists. The country has a curfew beginning at 8 p.m., according to\u00a0the US Embassy in Jamaica<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“No no, we not stop now” Beenie Man said as the livestream continued for another hour.<\/p>\n

Jamaica currently has more than 500 cases of coronavirus, according to\u00a0CNN’s map tracking cases globally.<\/a><\/p>\n

Beenie Man and Bounty Killer’s battle was part of an ongoing series by producers Swizz Beatz and Timbaland as a way to entertain fans during quarantine.<\/p>\n

Previous battles have featured rappers\u00a0Nelly and Ludacris<\/a>, singers\u00a0Erykah Badu and Jill Scott<\/a>\u00a0as well as singer-producers\u00a0Teddy Riley and Babyface<\/a>.<\/p>\n
