Young Money head Lil Wayne is reportedly gearing up to join forces with music mogul Jay Z‘s popular Tidal streaming service.

According to reports, Tidal announced the big news in a press release this week.

“We’re honored for Lil Wayne to join TIDAL,” said TIDAL’s Vania Schlogel in a press release. “His eagerness to release an exclusive TIDAL track and schedule a TIDAL X performance is just another example of how passionately artists care about getting their music to fans.” Additionally, TIDAL has rolled out an official desktop app and says discounted pricing for students is coming soon.

Last week, Sony Music CEO Doug Morris denied widespread speculation about the label removing R&B diva Beyoncé‘s music from Tidal.

Contrary to reports, Sony Music has no plans to pull Beyoncé – or any other artists under their umbrella – from Jay Z’s Tidal streaming service. “Jay-Z is a friend and business associate for many years. I have always admired his business acumen, his entrepreneurship and his passion for music,” Sony Music CEO Doug Morris said in a statement. “All of our content, including Beyoncé, is available through the Tidal service, and we have announced no plans to remove our catalog from Tidal. Like all of our other partners, we are rooting for Jay and Tidal to succeed.” (Rolling Stone)

      • ya us n!ggas is crabs in a bucket, so it’s going to take jay sometimes for that company to build, to get that support like spotify and apply.

        • Bingo. Willie Lynch still got fools slave minded. Jay’s number one challenge is the crabs in the bucket. Fighting both sides. Broke lame n!66as stay whining and upset because Jay stay winning. They’d rather give spotify and beats their money instead of Jay not realizing its bigger than the homie. If Jay is unsuccessful, none of us will get this close again. Same with Obama that’s why these Uncle Tom slave lames bashing him make me sick. Not smart enough to see their is a bigger picture being painted.

          • they have has no black people working for that company nor does he have major ownership. Apple has plenty
