How to Make an AI Rap Battle Video From Two Photos
Short answer: on the AI rap battle generator, add one photo of each person, type a topic with two sides, such as “Nadia vs Owen: is pineapple on pizza a crime or a classic?”, keep Both rap on and create. A Seedance model writes an original back-and-forth: the left person raps first and the right one answers. A 12-second battle at 720p is 10 credits and is usually ready in about 2 to 5 minutes.
Both rap works only with an AI-written rap. With your own uploaded song, only the left person lip-syncs. Below: topics with two sides, the steps, a test video of ours and what to check.

AI RAP BATTLE · HOW TO
Two photos, one rap battle
- Two sides
- Both rap
- Check turns
Pick a rap battle topic with two sides
A battle needs a disagreement, not a story. Name both people and the two sides in one line, within 120 characters.
- “Nadia vs Owen: cats are smarter, but his dog can open the fridge”
- “Mom vs Dad: who really does the dishes”
- “Coffee vs tea: two roommates settle it”
- “Leo vs Sam: whose fantasy team is worse”
- “Store-bought vs homemade Halloween costumes”
These are topics we wrote, not tested results. Keep it friendly: sexual and hateful topics are blocked before anything is charged. More lines to borrow: rap battle roasts.

Our Both rap test video
Seedance 2.0 Mini · 480p · 12 s · 9:16
- Generated through this website.
- Audio: an AI rap written from the topic, with Both rap (trade bars) on.
- Web preview: 540 × 940, compressed for playback. The settings above describe the original render.
Made on this website on October 3, 2026, with two AI-made friends and the topic “best friends since day one”, with Both rap on. The right friend takes over the lines later in the clip. From about 6 to 11 seconds the camera pulls back and the studio floor shows, although the prompt asks for a fixed camera. The beat changed on October 5.
Check that both people get a turn
- Watch the whole video and note when each mouth moves. Both rap asks for back-and-forth lines in two clearly different voices.
- You cannot choose who says which line or how many turns each gets.
- If one person barely raps, a shorter, sharper topic leaves room for two sides. Each new try costs credits again.
When you need exact lines
Record the lines yourself and upload them as Your song: the left person lip-syncs them, and the right one hypes. To give each of you a part, make two videos with the photos swapped and join them: two people, one song.

FAQ
Can both people rap in one AI video?
Yes, with an AI rap on a Seedance model: tick Both rap (trade bars) and the two trade lines in one video.
Can I write the exact battle lines?
Not with the AI rap: the topic sets what it is about, not the words. For exact lines, record them and upload them as Your song; then only the left person lip-syncs.
Can I make a rap battle with my own song?
Not in one video. With your own song, only the left person lip-syncs. Make two videos with the photos swapped and join them.
How long can an AI rap battle be?
5, 8, 10, 12 or 15 seconds on the Hotel Lobby stage. Seedance 2.5 can make 20 or 30 seconds on the other stages.
Is the AI rap battle free?
No. A 12-second battle at 720p is 10 credits, 5 at 480p, paid when you create it. A failed render is refunded.
Can the battle be a roast?
Yes, keep it friendly. Sexual and hateful topics are blocked before anything is charged.
