It’s Rumor Time: Will Kanye West walk away from Tidal?
It’s been a difficult year for Kanye West, and now, amid all the attention currently being lavished on JAY-Z for his new album 4:44, TMZ reports that the rapper is parting ways with Jay’s streaming service Tidal. The issue at hand is unpaid royalties, the gossip site’s sources say, with West claiming that Tidal owes him $3 million in bonus money he was supposed to get after The Life Of Pablo brought more than a million new subscribers to the platform. Lawyers representing the two parties have reportedly been negotiating a split for the past few weeks, with TIDAL countering West’s claim by saying that he never delivered a series of music videos required by his contract.
