Poll: Will Tidal ruin Nicki's career?

ririfan21

Nicki Minaj released two videos on Tidal that should've been on video.
FM wasn't a single so I was fine with that
BUT she released TNISY on Tidal. Why would she let a potential hit flop. I honestly think if she released it on vevo first the song could be a top ten hit. Is Jay-Z telling her to release it on tidal to get tidal more money....

#Pray4Nicki tbh

SebaMonster

No.

YR.

Don't be so dramatic, it's just a couple of videos. It's a disrespect to international fans but nothing besides that

It won't hurt Onika at all

marajxgrant

Hey Mama is on vevo. go stream that if you're feeling froggy.

Ramos

I think it's going to be released on VEVO today too.

Romantica

Career no. Single sales/charts yes

King Maxx

Anybody who says yes are either delusional or trolling. It'll probably be on VEVO on Monday.

ymcmb

no but it's certainly not helping her tbh

NumbFentyStan

It won't, but it will definitely damage FM and TNISY a lot

(Especially the second one, but i do believe FM could've re-peaked...)

King Maxx

What y'all not understanding is that when it does go on VEVO (especially FM if it ever does) it will gain a lot of streams. A lot of people aren't even going to know the TNISY video is out because no one really uses TIDAL.

The good thing is that the FM video is not on Youtube so no unofficial video is taking the streams away.

These are some sacrifices that obviously needed to be made for a start-up streaming service.

If Tidal becomes a monster like Spotify in 3-5 years, it would all be worth it.

Anyways, to answer your questions, no. She's already established.

Cain

She probably has a contract saying that she has to release the first few video's first on Tidal and a week later or so on VEVO

Rogue

Probably

Haburo

Maybe not her career because unlike a Rihanna her album is already out & before her next album TIDAL will be gone.

Mezik

This is stupid. Why did I bother buying her album when she's not appreciative of her fans? I deserve to see the videos as well.

King Maxx

American Oxygen still was able to get 25M views on VEVO, and that flopped hard.

FM & TNISY are hits and viral so it'll be okay.

Jezang Looz

It can hurt her career. The GP ain't as foolish as Jay-Z and friends think they are.

IF the GP stops supporting these artists she won't have sales/support and you saw what happened with Gaga's massive 1 million decline to 200k. Just look at her twitter replies and instagram comments, people aren't here for Tidal and they WILL get turned off by her because of her association with the brand.

She's fine right now but if she keeps doing these exclusives... welp

Why would it be worth it? Does she have shares in TIDAL or something
