In recent times, some artists have become accustomed to limiting access to their records to a certain platform, be it Apple Music or Tidal, since Spotify has never played this game. Kanye West has been one of the artists who, in his eagerness to promote Tidal, has released some of his temporary exclusive albums on Tidal, such as his previous album The life of Paul.
The life of Pablo it was available for two months exclusively on Tidal. However, the new album he has released Ye has reached directly to all streaming music platforms on the market. It seems that really Yes, he has definitively broken relations with Jay-Z, one of the top managers of Tidal along with Beyonce, as we informed you a few months ago.
The bad relationship between Jay-Z and Kanye West is due to the latter accusing Jay-Z of owing him three million dollars for the downloads and reproductions of The life of Pablo. Considering that in recent weeks Tidal has been accused of having inflated the reproduction figures To show that it is a service that can perfectly stand up to both Spotify and Tidal, these amounts should not surprise us, since if the reproductions are not real, the amount to be paid, obviously, neither.
On more than one occasion, Kanye West has stated via Twitter that he wanted Tim Cook meets Jay-Z for him to buy the streaming music service Tidal at once, something that as we have seen, Apple has not needed at any time to reach, according to the figures of a couple weeks ago, 40 million registered users, to which We must add another 10 million users who are testing the streaming music service for free through the offer that Apple offers to all new users who come to the platform.
