Major airline Virgin Australia has come forward to issue a statement over a controversial Twitter remark it made toward rap star Kanye West this week.
Virgin Australia apologized for a controversial Twitter post which went viral Monday (February 15) and denied its involvement in creating its content.
The Virgin Australia tweet said: @kanyewest EAD you douche. EAD stands for ‘eat a d@ck.” The airline took down the tweet within 60-seconds of it being posted, but that was enough for it to be retweeted and seen by thousands of the account’s 210,000 followers. “A recent tweet on our account was not published by a Virgin Australia employee and we are investigating the matter,” the statement said. “We apologise for any offence caused.” (Fox News)
Kanye went after a few notable publications on his Twitter page this week.
G.O.O.D. Music affiliate Rhymefest recently shared his concerns over Kanye’s mental well-being on Twitter.
Reports claim Yeezy’s decision to release his album exclusively through TIDAL has helped the service compete against other streaming companies like Apple and Spotify.
With exclusive streaming rights to Kanye West’s new album The Life of Pablo firmly secured, Tidal has used that as a platform to jump to the top of Apple’s App Store charts as new users eager to hear the rapper’s latest work come on board as subscribers. It’s the first time that the streaming service—which has endured a rocky start since it was relaunched by rapper Jay Z early last year—has hit number one on the app rankings. (Fortune)
