Kanye West's most recent album was a Tidal exclusive, which meant it was available for streaming on Tidal for over a month before it was available on Apple Music.

Now it sounds like Kanye wanted it to be on Apple Music the whole time.

In a series of tweets posted on Saturday, Kanye West asked Apple CEO Tim Cook for a meeting, saying, "Apple give Jay his check for Tidal now and stop tying to act like you Steve [Jobs]," and "this Tidal Apple beef is f****** up the music game."
