Recently, a representative from technology giant Samsung denied reports about the company acquiring TIDAL.

“The rumor of Samsung acquiring Tidal is not true,” said Samsung spokesperson, breaking the company’s silence on the matter. This comes after months of reports about conversations between the two companies. (Variety)

Last month reports claimed Samsung had its eyes on acquiring TIDAL.

Samsung, which is expected to have a big presence at this year’s Oscars, has long been rumored as an interested buyer — and has held on-and-off talks with Tidal. “Samsung is re-engaging; they are working on something really big, and they’re keeping it very quiet in case it leaks,” said a source close to the talks.

Recent reports claimed rap star Kanye West helped increase the number of TIDAL subscribers after exclusively releasing his new The Life Of Pablo album on its service.

Sources connected to Tidal tell TMZ … “The Life of Pablo” and its debut at MSG has already been streamed millions of times in less than two weeks, which is a record for the service. We’re also told subscribers to the app have more than doubled from around 1 million to 2.5 million. In fact, we’re told the album’s been so successful his team is discussing plans for another release, which may include a physical copy. (TMZ)
