Why did HOV let Beyoncé drop that video right after Rihanna's release

[Standing on business]

that video, song and Tour update took whatever little steam Rihanna had going away from her. only thing that matter in the female r&b lane right now is B. with HOV being over roc nation wouldn't it have been beneficial for his business to have Beyoncé hold off for a few months then drop



She even got Rihanna rescheduling her tour dates now, bronchitis my ass

 

[Starman]

They want me to disappear like it's gon shift for them
They say that I'm in the way, they want me to sit for them
But what they admitting is they ain't got shyt for him
And really the fact is, we not in the same bracket
Not in the same league, don't shoot at the same baskets
Don't pay the same taxes, hang with the same bytches
So how am I in the way, what is it I'm missing?

Jay-Z

Right or wrong, that's how he gives it up.

 

[Mr Clean]

They wanted new music to go with the superbowl hype

If anyone should have held off it should have been Rihanna

 

[SLCpremium]

The way they handled her whole album is atrocious



Such is life












Just a message to rihanna

 

[Big Blue]

Why would Jay prioritized Rihanna over his wife?

 

[Piff Perkins]

Every Tidal release has been botched. Really amazed that Hov has enough clout with these artists to fukk up their moments AND no doubt piss off the labels. Is Def Jam happy about Anti bombing? Is Def Jam happy with Kanye not selling his album?

And you know what's gonna be hilarious: when Hov releases his own album it's gonna be on Apple, Spotify, etc etc to ensure he does numbers.

What does it matter? She gon' have the number 1 song in the country soon.
Album performing like a typical rihanna album performs
And will still sell out most of her tour

Also, the bronchitis and tour rescheduling are reported to be unrelated

Naw Jay's already taken Reasonable Doubt and the Blueprint Series off of the other streaming services, they are Tidal exclusives. Best believe Any new Jay-Z album is going to definitely be a tidal exclusive.

Dunno breh...he gonna take that L? He avoids any sign of failure. Without a mass release he can't sell well unless he does another Samsung type deal/gimmick.

 

[Cloud McFly]

Hov's album will sell well regardless.

 

[KOohbt]

They sold 1 mil to some company, Brehs.

I agree with OP. That's his artist dawg, who just happens to be RIHANNA. Let's act like she's a superstar. Her album deserved better handling. That is undeniable.

 

[MrPentatonic]

I thought beyonce prolly did it to fukk with rihanna since them rumours

 

[Cynic]

I noticed this as well..... they never let rihannas joint breathe then B comes outta nowhere ....

I still feel Riri should have fed the charts this single ....
