Beyonce and Nicki Minaj collaboration 'Feeling Myself' has just been released. Unfortunately, you have to subscribe and pay for it under Jay Z's music streaming service called Tidal to hear the full version of the song. This makes fans left disappointed, but Jay Z doesn't seem to care at all.
Nicki Minaj and Beyonce team up for a new music entitled 'Feeling Myself'. The duo has shared a snippet of their work, which only made fans left disappointed. The reason is that the only way we could listen to it was through Tidal, Jay Z's music streaming service. The site makes you subscribe and pay big bucks $9.99 up to 19.99 for a month of subscription.
What happened next? It made fans rage because of the Tidal. Many fans took it to Twitter to express their disappointment about Minaj and Beyonce's song, and the music streaming site.
But the issue regarding Jay Z' Tidal did not affect him that much. In fact, the rapper defends his site. During the concert founded by the rapper himself, Jay Z took the opportunity to respond to critics of Tidal.
"So I'm the bad guy now, I hear, because I don't go with the flow," Jay Z said to 3,000 fans at Terminal 5 on Saturday. He added, "I'm never gonna go with the flow, I'm never gonna let nobody take over our music . . . This Tidal thing is all about the music. We gonna preserve the music, we ain't gonna let nobody take our music. We ain't gonna let nobody offer our music up and do what the f--- they wanna do."
He then did a freestyle rap that slammed YouTube, Spotify and Apple, among others.
For now, Tidal is just for rich and established artists, including Jay Z's wife Beyonce, Coldplay's Chris Martin, Usher, Kanye West, Rihanna and Madonna.
