Jay Z staged crisis meeting with Rih, Bey, Mdna, Nicki &more
Quote:
Jay Z hosted the music industry's biggest stars at a glittering business meeting to lament 'crass commercialization' and plot their own rival to Spotify, it is claimed.
Madonna, Kanye West, Nicki Minaj, Daft Punk, Chris Martin of Coldplay, Jack White, Rihanna, an unnamed prominent country singer ( I wonder who...), and Jay Z's wife Beyoncé all gathered in February to share their thoughts, Showbiz 411 reported.
And today the rapper, whose real name is Shawn Carter, confirmed his $54 million purchase of Swedish streaming network Aspiro, parent company of music platform WiMP.
The program, which he plans to rename TidalHifi, will uniquely allow artists to profit from their material and directly upload quality tracks.
I'm just picturing the Nekci Menij scene where they all gather in a conference room, then Medoner gets up to speak and her presentation is a powerpoint with all the tacky sound effects and stuff.
