Will someone please think of the children?
Kanye West fired off a series of tweet today calling for an end to the ‘beef’ between Apple Music and Tidal and pleading to the “let the kids have the music.” He also called for Apple to just “give Jay his check”.
This Tidal Apple beef is fucking up the music game.

The rant follows from recent news that Apple may be considering a purchase of Jay-Z’s Tidal streaming service. There have been no further rumours or news since the story appeared in the Wall Street Journal on June 30.
Tidal, branded as an artist-driven streaming platform, has exclusive rights to works by Beyonce, Prince’s catalogue, and Kanye West. Apple Music for its parts claims Taylor Swift and Drake and was also home to Chance The Rapper’s latest album for a few weeks before its wider release.
