According to TMZ, Kanye West has left Jay Z's
Tidal company over money dispute and Tidal has
threatened to sue him. Read the full report from
TMZ below...
Sources connected to Tidal tell TMZ,
Kanye has been unhappy with the
company for a long time. We're told Kanye
has complained the company owes him
money -- more than $3 million. Our
sources say a month ago Kanye's lawyer
sent a letter to Tidal, saying the company
was in breach and the contract was
terminated.
Over the next 2 weeks lawyers for both sides
tried to resolve the conflict but failed.
We're told 2 weeks ago Kanye's lawyer fired off a
second letter declaring again the contract was
over. Kanye's decision to split from Tidal
predates the release of Jay Z's album in which he
trashes Kanye, and we're told Kanye had no
advance knowledge of Jay's lyrics.
We're told Kanye's beef with Tidal is twofold --
his Saint Pablo album resulted in 1 1/2 million
new subscribers to Tidal, for which he was
supposed to get a bonus but the company hasn't
paid.
Kanye also says Tidal reneged on reimbursing
him for music videos. Our sources say Tidal's
position is that Kanye didn't deliver the videos
required by the contract.
Kanye's response ... I'll deliver the videos when
you pay me what I'm owed. We're told Tidal fired
off a letter to Kanye, saying as far as the
company was concerned it still had an exclusive
contract with the rapper and if he tried to go to
another streaming service they'd sue him.
We're told Kanye's willing to walk away, but if
Tidal sues him, he'll sue them right back.
