On Sunday (April 26) Jay Z unexpectedly took to Twitter to share a series of #TidalFacts. The rare move may have been directly in response to several of TIDAL’s rivals interfering with its progress.
According to Page Six, numerous music industry sources have come forward alleging that Apple is indeed tampering with TIDAL.
The celebrity news site states one of the reasons TIDAL may have fallen out of the iPhone top 700 apps is because Apple “deliberately took a long time to approve TIDAL iOS app updates. TIDAL had a new app. on Adroid on April 15, but still hasn’t received approval for Apple’s iOS app store.”
iTunes executives such as Robert Kondrk (Vice President of iTunes Content) has reportedly emphasized that artists who choose to premiere content on TIDAL will not be highlighted on iTunes.
“Robert told execs at Universal Music Group that Rihanna and other TIDAL artists’ music would not be promoted as featured artists on iTunes if they put exclusive music out on Tidal,” a source said.
Another source confirmed Kondrk’s statement and clarified that the procedure is “normal.”
“If an artist chooses to market content exclusively with another rival retailer, no company is going to market or push content from that artist that hard,” the source said.

Jay-Z lost
diz nigga will never be as successful as Birdman’s oil fields. old azz nigga should retire. swag
What oil fields? They don’t exist. Plus, Birdman is older than Jay Z.
He can’t afford no oil field if he owing dough to artists, staff and housebuilders
As Cash Money Records’ personal accountant, I have full knowledge that today Jay-Z tried to sell off his ownership of Tidal to Birdman, but was rejected as Birdman did not wish to be associated with a failed venture.
Nobody believes you.
Jay-Z’s 100th problem: Tidal
Anybody need their dick sucked?
Yeah
This is what you get for biting my lines all these years you lame
Jay got those DSLs
LMAO
Nigga you gay and not Nas neither.
I ain’t buying anything this nigga ever puts out. he already got it. he’s a business man now. I hear wayyyyyy more about his moves than about his tracks. Jay is over. Idc how much money he has his time in HipHop is done unless he’s genuinely gonna invest his time in artists we wanna hear like J Cole and Jay Electronica, ( and even fab). This nigga aint about the music anymore. If Tidal really empowers the people that’s cool. It’s about time he gave some of his 500 million back to the people
Hahahahhaha
