Jay Z Suffers $56M Meltdown, Snaps Under Streaming Pressure?

Jay Z Meltdown

HSK Exclusive – The current state of Jay-Z’s mind has fallen under intense scrutiny after sources say Mr. Magna Carter “had to be restrained” from delivering an unnamed reporter with a Brooklyn beatdown! Jigga’s trigga? According to an insider … That would be none other than “needling” inquiries into his music-streaming Magna Fail, Tidel.

“The reporter was probably planted by a rival music mogul, who is working on a similar venture with a much bigger company.”

An insider exclusively tells HSK the reporter may have been repp’in Bloomberg Businessweek. This tip comes shortly after Tidel saw its second CEO step down just in the past few months, apparently leaving Jay-Z to go down with his sinking ship while streaming an epic loss of $56M: “His entire investment,” OUCH!

“He set out to save the music industry from the economics of streaming, and make himself a fortune in the process. So far, Jay Z is doing neither.”

According the tunes streaming from J’s competition, Tidel is coming up empty with just 800,000 in paying subscribers reported:

“About 11 million people have signed up for Apple Music’s three month free trial period so far, of which 2 million people opted for the $14.99 per month family plan. Currently, Spotify has 85 million active users and 20 million paid subscribers across 58 markets. And Pandora reported 79.4 million monthly active users and 3.91 million paid subscribers as of June 2015.”

  1. Imma play Devil’s Advocate on this one. When U deduce to open up some kinda music endeavor, keep your mouth shut! That’s how YT screws U and those that adventure in that tyoe of range.Besides he better be ready for that lawsuit that him and Timbaland got going on with that song Big Pimpin that was made back in 2005.

    • completely agree. that move left me scratching my head. with that type of bread i’d opt to play the back… a silent partner or something to that effect. keep it strictly on a need-to-know-basis for as long as i can. skip all the pomp and circumstance. its not necessary at his level. haters out here (yt,
      blk, male, female and everything in btwn) are not playing… these losers are shadier than the dark side of the moon. ijs

      • Exactly Bellamy, exactly. And when they start doing dumb bullshit like that, Jay-Z better watch out! U see how James Brown and Otis Redding turned out when they wanted to do the same thing Jay-Z was trying conmplete the mission. But the way its going, Jay will end up being just like them. Dead. Hate to see it in that form of fashion, but they knew the consequences of it.

        • So both of yah just gone suck each other’s dick right in front of everyone…dick riding.

  2. Alot of hullabaloo about nothing. It’s a normal human reaction when someone taunts another, one will react.

  3. Jay Z wants to control everything. He needs to have several seats because everybody is tired of him and his wife.

  4. Jay-Z tries to be so “upper class” and loves to cheese and grease with YT. When they remind him every once and a while that he will never be in their circle, he flips. He and Dre look hella sweet in that pic

  5. All these hip hop labels and crews fell off.
    Ruthless fell when eazy died and bone thugs broke up
    Deathrow fell wgen pac died and dre and snoop left and suge went to jail kept running his mouth instead of making tecords now hes where he belongs

  7. TIDAL. ITS SPELLED TIDAL , AS IN TIDAL WAVE ?! Anyone ever heard of editing or referencing Google?

  8. Jay would have been better off investing the $56 million into buying ownership into the likes of Apple, Spotify, Google, etc. Right Now, they have enuf clout to block a blackman from going solo against them. Kill them from the inside and then break the hell out…Think Like Them! That’s how they do us and always have.

  9. all these hip hop moguls are going down sooner or later all these hip hop labels and crews are gone.
