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."
Apple has been rumored to be interested in buying Tidal, especially for access to exclusive album releases like Kanye's.
Here are his tweets:
Apple give Jay his check for Tidal now and stop trying to act like you Steve.

Kanye West is likely referring to Apple CEO Tim Cook, Tidal investor Jay-Z, Apple Music exec Jimmy Iovine, Apple Music exec Larry Jackson, Apple Music-aligned rapper Drake, and music mogul Scooter Braun.
This Tidal Apple beef is fucking up the music game.
