Beyonce Music May Be Pulled From Tidal

There has been an uproar after a photo surfaced of Jay Z and Beyonce in the Tidal office posing for the camera with rest of the staff, with fans accusing the rapper of pulling the race card but not employing black people himself. What they forgot is that the office is based in Norway and not in the United States.

Kendrick Lamar Shakes Up The Super Bowl With Bold Drake Diss And Surprise Guests

Kendrick Lamar's Super Bowl 59 halftime performance was nothing short of legendary, leaving fans buzzing with surprise cameos and bold moments that took his long-running feud with Drake to new heights. Kicking off with an unreleased song snippet and followed by “Squabble Up” from his latest album GNX, Kendrick immediately set the tone for a game-changing performance. Fans eagerly waited to see if Kendrick would play his diss track Not Like Us, especially with Drake's ongoing lawsuit against him and his label for defamation and harassment. Lamar's performance included an unexpected appearance by SZA and a quirky cameo from Serena Williams, along with Samuel L. Jackson’s comedic interruptions, all building the suspense around the Drake drama. In the middle of his performance, Kendrick turned up the heat, looking straight into the camera and directly addressing Drake with his famous lyrics, “I heard you like them young," as fans held their breath. Despite the tension, Kendrick censored himself when it came time to call Drake a "certified lover boy" and avoided saying “pedophile,” which had been widely speculated. Social media lit up with mixed reactions, with some fans mocking the performance as a "mid mashup" and others noting the intense hostility toward Drake. With the hashtag #KendrickBowl trending, it’s clear that Kendrick’s performance was a cultural moment that pushed boundaries—but has he gone too far, or is this just another chapter in hip-hop history? Only time will tell, and Drake has yet to respond.

However, in more important news, Tidal and Sony are struggling to strike a deal to keep Sony artists’ music alive on the streaming site. Bloomberg Businessweek reports that Sony is threatening to pull all of its artists’ music from Tidal, including Beyonce who is a co-owner of the company. How weird is that?

The problem is that Jay Z has yet to reach a deal on a contract with Sony who is asking for a large advance amount in return for the rights to stream its artists’ catalogues. Universal and Warner on the other hand have already made a deal with Tidal. If an agreement is not reached soon, Beyonce and other Sony artists’ music will possibly disappear from Tidal.
