D’Angelo returned to the Verzuz live stream event stage, but many fans grew irked after reporting that the audio was off-sync from the video. The concert also featured artists Method Man, Redman, and H.E.R. and was streamed simultaneously on Instagram and Apple Music. Apparently, the Apple stream had no hiccups, but the Instagram stream had fans upset due to the audio issues.
“Somebody get the sync together cuz we can see you not on the track Angelo,” one fan tweeted. “It’s been a whole pandemic year and [VERZUZ] still hasn’t figured out their sync issues,” another user wrote. The out-of-sync audio gave many the impression that D’Angelo was lip-syncing, but it doesn’t appear this was the case. Scroll down to read more reactions from fans who were watching the live stream.

“Instagram live is delayed,” one watcher warned. They added, ” It’s in sync on Apple Music/Apple TV.”
Is it me or is the audio for this D’angelo #Verzuz scuffed? Sync off bad too. Really wish it was fixed to catch the vibes.

“D’angelo was not lip-syncing…he’s NOT even the type of artist to waste his time to do that,” one last fan declared. “The Verzuz stream was clearly out of sync.”
