West has been embroiled in a feud with TIDAL since at least July and claims he’s owed $3.5 million stemming from his 2016 album, The Life Of Pablo.After bringing 1.5 million new subscribers to the service with the project’s release, West was supposed to earn a bonus, one that he claims was never honored. West’s lawyers reportedly sent a letter to TIDAL in June accusing the company of breaching their contract and announced they’d be terminating the deal.
