Music mogul Jay Z‘s Tidal streaming service could be in big trouble in the form of a $20 million lawsuit involving Young Money’s Drake.
According to reports, Apple Music could sue Tidal if it live streamed its artist Drake’s two-song performance at rap star Lil Wayne‘s Lil Weezyana Festival concert last night (August 28).
Sources say the tech giant threatened to sue for $20 million if Drake appeared, or if his music was streamed live, on Tidal. A source told us, “Legal letters have been sent to Tidal warning that Drake cannot appear on the Tidal stream of the festival, either solo or part of a group, and if the warning was ignored, the liabilities could be up to $20 million.

Tidal confirmed the legal heat and addressed it on Twitter last night.
Concert looked dead as fuck lol
Jay-Z needs to go back to the old people who used to run his businesses. Cause he ain’t gotta a clue how run a business on his own.
People don’t run the businesses they own. They hire people with degrees in the field to run them. The man’s wroth over a half bill…He knows how to do something …
This streaming shit getting serious
Tidal just needs to die already
