Today, Apple denied
rumors floated by desperate entertainers Jay Z and Madonna,
which had claimed the multi-billion dollar tech giant was
going to buy their failed music streaming service Tidal. Jay
Z and Madonna had also floated the same rumor via a
publicist that Samsung was going to buy Tidal. However,
Samsung immediately shot the rumors down weeks ago.
Apple stated, “We’re
really running our own race. We’re not looking to acquire
any streaming services.” The tech company has their own
Apple Music streaming service and has no use for the massive
losses, debts and liabilities Tidal has incurred in one year
of operation. Tidal was left reeling after posting
$28,000,000 in losses this week. All of Jay Z and Madonna’s
business ventures have failed.
Jay Z and Madonna are
two unintelligent thieves who've pulled the wool over the
public's eyes for years. Rumblings in the industry indicate
some of the remaining artists Jay Z and Madonna brought in
on the now failed Tidal deal are ticked off their brands
have been damaged by association with the abject failure of
the project, after such a high profile launch. None of them
like the stench of failure and desperation emanating from
Tidal.
Entertainment industry
artists not affiliated with Tidal have been complaining to
their record labels and management about Jay Z and Madonna
pestering them for streaming rights, trying to pull rank and
using questionable, underhanded maneuvers in trying to force
their hands. Record labels are sick of Tidal, blaming the
company for lowering industry sales averages in repeatedly
snatching major label releases as exclusive streaming
projects, that go on to suffer from low sales.
The music industry is
not big on streaming, but in the age of piracy views it as a
way of limiting some of their losses from the decline of CD
and digital sales, due to online theft of music. Tidal is
releasing fake streaming numbers in inflating streams to get
higher chart positions on Billboard, but not paying artists
what is due to them, which does not benefit the music
industry's sales averages or the labels' pockets. Labels are
losing money on Tidal.
