Apple vs Tidal: Tidal faces $20M lawsuit over Drake’s Apple deal #lilweezyanafest Update:Tidal Lied?

[Beerus]

What are these examples of Tidal not doing their due diligence? You sound like part of their PR team. Drake was slated to do two songs. That shyt is corny no matter how you slice it. For a charity concert? As for Tidal starting the exclusive shyt, of course they did, how else would you overcome FMA. Hulu, Netflix and Prime do it right now all the time. The difference here is that, Tidal does not stop any artist with any sort of Apple connection from still cross-promoting with Apple Music even if they have exclusive Tidal shyt. Still gave NWA and Dre's Compton spotlight this week regardless of the deal. Meanwhile Apple took RIhanna's single off the front of iTunes because she did a deal with Tidal. It's corny and petty as fukk and it's why Apple was getting investigating for monopoly tactics.

nikka its fukking business. Tidal should have known. Yall getting yall feelings in a bunch. But its fukking business same type of business when Jay cut Dame lose.
Anyways aint Meek say wayne aint fukk with drizzy?
Another L for that loser

Apple is taking shyt too far. They better donate to the charity then and stop worrying about suing

 

[Beerus]

nikkas tryna shyt on Apple
They paid drake a whole lotta money
fukk yeah they'll let him perform but streamed through a competitor? Are u fukking crazy?!!!
That helps Tidal why the fukk would Apple let the biggest rapper on the Planet who is signed with them through a deal be streamed through a competitor?!!!!
You mothafukkas need a lesson in business.

Why is the "Feeling myself" video with Nicki and Beyonce not on Itunes? Why is it Not on Youtube? How come every-time someone does upload it, it gets snatched down by Tidal? Because it's an EXCLUSIVE and Tidal owns the rights to this EXCLUSIVE so they are not going to let Itunes or Youtube make money off of their exclusives. The Same way Apple owns the rights to any and All Drake exclusives and Tidal was infringing on that right by using Drake in one of Tidals exclusives. It's not the fact that Drake performed, it's the fact that Tidal tried to use it as part of a Tidal Exclusive.

nikkas all emotional, writing paragraphs and shyt. It's just business. Tidal should have known this.

That is because they need apple. All artist in 2015 need apple. Majority of people who buy music online buy it from apple.

It's not corny or petty, it's business. Tidal started this exlusive mess, so it's their own fault.

How is it too far? They let him perform. nikka Tidal is the one doing shady shyt. Theg knew about the contract. They knew Apple would have been like at their artist being streamed through a competitor.
They used a charity to help boost their popularity and using Drake was not finna fly with Apple at all. They invested money the fukk

 

[Giselle]

Some of you guys would make terrible business men. lol

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

fukk that business is business. Y'all better get used to it. But of course it's not your money

What would do if you have someone 5k to promote something. Then within the first 2 months, he's about to perform in a way that lets your COMPETITOR get money off him and push their product.

That's like Jordan playing ball for reebok cause it's for the kids. Nike ain't letting that shyt happen. These endorsements go both ways. You think they giving KD 200 million and gonna let him walk around outside in filas? All that is written in the contract



Realize they suing tidal. Not weezy. Not the foundation. Tidal gets viewers and money for this that do not go to the kids or weezy. They making a profit.

They simply saying, you want him. Cool. But don't even attempt to make money off him by streaming, cause we just paid him 20 mil to do that for us



Business is business

And who's business is doing better?

Gorilla war nikka. You don't win in this life by being nice

You think bill gates got windows on 90 percent of computers by not employing monopoly tactics.

idk, but i guarantee you jay-z does more philanthropy in the black community than apple does.

i'm willing to bet that includes for katrina victims.

apple is a company that legit runs sweat shops.

And yet nikkas so quick to shyt on anything Jay Z does

 

[↓R↑LYB]

The fest is happening now. Does anyone have a link to the stream?


Here are the tweets/pics about it. Some people are angry that they can't see Drake's performance. lol
#LilWeezyanaFest hashtag on Twitter

When you think about it this fest is black excellence. A black man doing a concert for his community and having another black man stream it to the world

 

[Buggsy Mogues]

What is Apple paying Drake $19 million for? All of his music is still available on Spotify, including his new singles (Back To Back, Charged Up, etc). OVO fest didn't get streamed on Apple. What exactly is Apple getting out of this deal??

 

[Real]

That is so dumb

 

[Eye Cue DA COLI GAWD]

Tidal should sign an exclusive deal with Quentin Miller and let him perform all the Drake songs he's accredited with

Old Roc with Dame at the head would do something like his
