The New York Post is reporting that Samsung is in talks with Jay Z to buy TIDAL, the streaming service the Roc Nation founder purchased in October of 2014 and infamously re-launched in March of last year.
The report also notes that in addition to Samsung, Google and Spotify have expressed interest in the company, originally a Swedish brand, but that Samsung has made itself appear to be the strongest of the suitors thanks to “really big” plans that have yet to be teased or unveiled.

Once again sold to the highest bidder smh
Hov has that money they offering they low ballin talkn 9 figures.. I feel its to early with tidal for him to do that let it build more worth. Samsung defs sees a bright future so let them come back with a bigger offer or others down the line.
Sell sell sell
He gonna take the deal
Kenneth Black……
I hope he doesnt sell.
Please don’t Do it That can be the platform we Need!!!!
Not gonna happen the shift has begun
Yea he should sell and make every body else richer… Kanye seems to keep crying about money lol!!
I’m sure those cats have a small percentage with paperwork to sell if he wants to.
Well…its not really Jays to actually sell. Every artist in Tidal has stake which makes all of them owners as well. So trust Jay will be dividing that 9 figures a few ways. I would sell it tho. The only thing it offers is exclusivity to its artists and nothing for the consumer. With piracy and all the other cheaper streaming services out there i don’t see it lasting too long. Unless they pull the ole Taylor Swift and pull all of their artists music off of all other streaming sites. I signed up for the month free subscription just to hear Kanye’s album. Exploring the site tho…its nothing special. I’m about to cancel that joint before they charge me lol!
I look at it from your perspective as well, yes we should keep some things for ourselves instead of always selling it i.e. BET
Why take that chance when you can be the owner and no one can tell you anything
He can be voted out, but that’s the chance you take in the world of buisness, we have seen CEOs and founders od major companies voted out all the time
Exactly and remain chairman and have a position at Samsung
Who can be voted out if they so choose….not a good move
He will sell it, but remain Chairman and President
Tell em ten!!
King Shit
#Hova!!
jay likes the big deals. buy for 50 million sell half the company for 250 million and keep going. use that 250 to invest and buy up more start up companies
Dont do it
Give 10% to Bey, 15% to Blue and keep 35% for myself
If so I would sale 40% maintain majority ownership
True
I see him selling 50 %
I would sale but still be involve
Legacy and ownership should be more important at this point for him
I wouldn’t sale….leave it as a legacy for his children…give them something to own..
Remember Jay bought out Dame and Kareem fro 20 million and then sold the roc for 130 million. Jay likes to make big moves and move
9 figures could be 100 million or 900 million we don’t know the first number
He paid 56 million for it and it’s valued at 250 million. Depends on what they offer him. They might say 500 million and he can keep a percentage of the company
I understand that Kingsmen White but why give it up so easy after all of the fighting, backlash, disrespect, and hard work? He’ll sale eventually but I think it’s to early.
Exactly correct. That’s A LOT of pennies!!!!!
We talking about hundreds of millions of dollars and millions of people with Samsung devices that can have tidal
I wouldn’t sale yall right it’s worth far more than that
Jay Z is a BRILLIANT business man. I trust he’ll make right decision. #Jigga
Dr. Dre sold his to apple and remained on the team
He’s Too Smart for That.
He will not sale Tidal because he knows that it’s worth more than the offer in the long run.
Remember when they laughed at you…called it a joke…said it wouldn’t make money…look at you now
Don’t do it Jay
