Reports suggest that the pair will ‘meet face-to-face soon’
Kanye West and Jay-Z could be set to meet in hope of settling their ongoing legal dispute, according to new reports.
West parted ways with Jay’s streaming service Tidal this summer due to a dispute over money. Sources close to Tidal revealed at the time that West was unhappy with the service, claiming they owe him over $3 million. A letter was reportedly sent by West’s lawyers to Tidal, stating that the company was in breach of their contract, and that it would be terminated. After a two-week back-and-forth, no resolution was found.
The dispute dates back to West’s ‘The Life Of Pablo’ album, which brought 1.5 million new subscribers to Tidal – a swell in users which was supposed to see Kanye granted a bonus, which Tidal is allegedly still yet to pay. It also concerned a number of music videos, which Kanye alleged that Tidal hasn’t reimbursed him for.
In response, Tidal claimed that Kanye is still under contract with the service, reportedly threatening to sue should he sign to another streaming company – a threat which saw Kanye state that he would counter-sue.
