Jay Z came out fighting Sunday launching a stream of tweets defending his premium music streaming service Tidal. His social media diatribe comes as reports claim Tidal is a flop and rumors swirl that it's being sabotaged by rivals. 'Our actions will speak louder than words,' the rapper and businessman tweeted. 'We may not be perfect - but we are determined.'
Jay Z, who paid $56 million for TIDAL's technology in January and relaunched it in March, went on the offensive against supposed rivals.His claims of a 'smear campaign' are assumed to be focused at the popular streaming service Spotify, though Jay-Z did not post any details about the alleged campaign.
After Tidal was criticized because of the wealth of its founders, Jay-Z said that other big tech companies also have huge amounts of money.
'Rich getting richer? Equity values... YouTube $390 billion. Apple $760 billion. Spotify $8 billion. Tidal $60 million,' he said.
On Sunday Page Six claimed that there's also a 'war' looming between Tidal and Apple.
