Jay-Z’s Tidal sold for $350 Million to Jack Dorsey’s Square

 

Almost any person in America can boast of their burger flipping skills but to flip a streaming service from $56 million to $350 million in a period of 6 years one has to be Jay-Z. The super successful rapper has sold his streaming business Tidal, which has not exactly been making waves, to Jack Dorsey’s financial company Square for a huge profit. As Jay-Z had rightly said almost two decades ago, that he was not a businessman but he’s a business, man!!

 

TMZ has exclusively reported that the deal was closed on Friday morning, according to sources. It said that Square now owns 80 percent of Tidal, along with licensing deals that have already been made with labels. All the artists and owners will also remain with the company.

 

TMZ also reported that Jay-Z and Desiree Perez Roc Nation’s CEO and one of the movers and shakers behind the deal will remain onboard, on the streaming platform. Jay-Z will also be joining the board at Square but this has not as yet been confirmed.

 

 

Earlier in March, Jack Dorsey had announced that he would partner with Jay-Z and transform Tidal with his business acumen. The two friends have been seen hanging out several times, in the Hamptons and at other hotspots. Now, it is known that sipping wine and lounging about also included huge business deals.

 

Tidal debuted in 2015 as a partnership of Jay-Z with several artists including

 

  • Beyoncé
  • Rihanna
  • Kanye West
  • Madonna
  • Alicia Keys
  • Calvin Harris
  • Chris Martin

 

However, despite all these big names and more the music streaming platform floundered. It was in deep waters and it could not swim against the tidal wave called Spotify which had about 365 million monthly active users when compared with Tidal’s paltry numbers that have been speculated to be anywhere between one and five million.

 

So, pal Dorsey metaphorically rode in, into the wave, on a moneyed horse and saved Tidal, Jay-Z and the rest of the artists to the safe shore and placed in a secure square, by pumping in millions. Square, is going to get around the weaknesses of Tidal with the experience it has of helping individuals and sellers of all sizes with its Cash App. Dorsey had tweeted that that the financial company could now work for artists and “see the same success for them and us.”
