How good is Tidal, Jay-Z’s terrible Spotify alternative, doing? So good that the Jigga Man himself got on Twitter this morning to offer a series of cheerfully earnest #TidalFacts and defend the service against unnamed foes “spending millions on a smear campaign.”
It’s no secret that Tidal is tanking hard. Could that be why self-proclaimed visionary Kanye West suddenly deleted a series of tweets enthusiastically endorsing the streaming service? Maybe. I don’t know. I’m not Kanye West.
Just a few short weeks ago, a gaggle of the biggest names in music gathered to announce Jay Z’s new streaming music service, Tidal.
