Music mogul Diddy is as excited as the most loyal JAY-Z fan about his 4:44 album’s Apple Music arrival. The Bad Boy boss went to social media this week to formally welcome Young Hov to Team Apple.
Puff Daddy went to Instagram Friday (July 7) to salute JAY giving the Apple Music green light.
A few hours ago, Apple Music announced the big power move on its IG page.
Yesterday, buzz developed about JAY’s “The Story of O.J.” music video landing on Apple Music.
After debuting his new album exclusively on his own Tidal music streaming service last week, today Apple Music is premiering the first music video from the release despite still not offering the actual album. The video for the song “The Story of O.J.” is available to watch within Apple Music, and it’s also being distributed officially on YouTube and elsewhere after initially being exclusively available alongside the album on Tidal.
