Rapper Kanye west calls on Apple Inc to buy Tidal. Kanye West in a minor tweet storm on Saturday called on apple to buy apple music rival Tidal, saying he wants to put an end to the "beef" between the two streaming music providers.
He said Apple’s competition with Tidal is a detriment to the music industry He said “This Tidal Apple beef is fucking up the music game” So he is calling both the executives of the companies to come together to discuss terms of sales. clearly, he wants to meet with Tim Cook apple CEO, Beats Cofounder Jimmy Iovine, Larry Jackson and Tidal owner Jay-Z as well as Drake, for some reason — this week. He added Spotify co-founder and CEO Daniel Ek to the list of execs he wants to meet.
"F**k all this dick swinging contest. We all gon [sic] be dead in 100 Years. Let the kids have the music," Kanye West said. In an easy to see reference to late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, he added, "Apple give Jay his check for Tidal now and stop trying to act like you Steve."
When Jay-Z relaunched Tidal last year, shared up minor ownership rights to big-name artists like West, Beyoncé, Daft Punk, Alicia Keys, Madonna, Nicki Minaj, Chris Martin, Rihanna, Usher, Jack White and others. A number of minority owners have since released albums on the service as windowed exclusives, including West, who begged fans to subscribe after the debut of his last album, "Life of Pablo."
Apple the company is aimed on providing users with exclusive streaming music content, but it remains unclear if that means bidding for a competing service. Apple already take part in an activity in original content creation, including financing music videos, documentaries and other digital media. The collaborative strategy, fostered by Larry Jackson, has yielded exclusives from Eminem, Drake, Taylor Swift, M.I.A., Future, Chance the Rapper and more.
