The Philadelphia Police Department on Thursday told West that it was hiring and posted on Twitter a doctored photo of the rapper dressed as an officer. The plea for money triggered widespread online derision of West, who has likened his diverse talents to Michelangelo's and in the past year has both pursued fashion design and declared his intention to run for president in 2020. "But I need access to more money in order to bring more beautiful ideas to the world," he tweeted. "Yes I am personally rich and I can buy furs and houses for my family," said West, the husband of reality television star Kim Kardashian, who is wealthy in her own right. West has insisted that "The Life of Pablo," his seventh album, will be available only on Tidal and never available for purchase on Apple's iTunes, let alone streamed on other services.Įxplaining his motivations when he released the album, West revealed that he was $53 million in debt. Tidal earlier also benefitted from streaming exclusives for Beyonce's politically charged new video "Formation" and Rihanna's long-awaited album, although Rihanna has since put her "Anti" on other platforms.

Tidal - in which West, Madonna and other stars are partners - said in September that it had reached one million subscribers, a fraction of the base of rivals, and has not given further updates. It remained in top place in the music category on Thursday and was number five among all apps, topping Facebook. On the first day Tidal soared 20 places to become the most downloaded music app in the United States, according to App Annie, which tracks the data. The company, which struggled after a flashy relaunch last year led by rap mogul Jay Z, has witnessed a surge of interest since West on Sunday released his latest album, "The Life of Pablo," exclusively on Tidal. A California man filed a lawsuit Monday accusing Jay Z and Kanye West of lying to millions of fans by promising exclusive access to Wests latest album on. Some tracks became available to stream on Spotify – I Love Kanye and Famous – but West has continued to change elements of the songs, adding a vocal by Frank Ocean, tweaking lyrics and adding more gospel vocals.Rapper Kanye West has raised eyebrows by complaining of his personal debt but his business sense has paid dividends for one key partner - the Tidal streaming service. Carter Enterprises defrauded consumers by falsely claiming The Life of Pablo would be exclusively available to people who signed up for Tidal, the lawsuit claims. West’s album was given a completely new method of release: the record was premiered at Madison Square Garden on 11 February before its was made available on Tidal three days later. The US recording industry counts 1,500 streams as the equivalent of one album sale – which in the case of The Life of Pablo would equal about 267,000 albums. Until now, the album has not been eligible for official chart placement.
