The CEO didnt get fired, he quit. Two different things
The CEO of Jay Z's struggling high-definition music streaming service Tidal quit on Tuesday less than three months on the job.
Hip-hop mogul Jay Z purchased the music streaming service in March for $56million and it became a private company co-owned by a host of stars including Madonna, Kanye West and Rihanna.
CBS News reported that the subscription service, which was originally based in Norway, had been marketed as 'a moment that will forever change the course of music history'.
But since the revamped service was unveiled to the public in New York in March, it has struggled to find an audience and has now lost its second CEO.
Soon after Jay Z took over the company it was announced that CEO Andy Chen was leaving to be replaced by Peter Tonstad, a former CEO of Tidal's parent company Aspiro Group, as interim chief executive.
At the time a company statement said Tonstad 'has a better understanding of the industry and a clear vision for how the company is looking to change the status quo'.
News of Tonstad's stepping down was first reported in the Norwegian newspaper Dagens Næringsliv.
'The only thing I can confirm is that I have resigned,' Tonstad told the Paper.
