Jay has finally found an investor for Tidal www.rollingstone.com/music/news/sprint-buys-33-percent-stake-in-jay-zs-tidal-w462395
I guess this explains why he recently signed Jim Jones, Fat Joe and DJ Khalid to Roc Nation because he has someone else's money to play with.
Do you think Sprint can save Tidal or help create new stars for Roc Nation?
I don't think so because Jay's only success is Rhianna and Jay Cole but they have independent teams that work for them but they could be bigger if they had more support (Anti should had received a Grammy nod for AOTY). See these articles about why Kylie Minogue & Bridget Kelly left & a great article on how Roc Nation isn't as successful as it seems:

Bridget Kelly www.ibtimes.co.uk/does-jay-z-have-problem-marketing-female-artists-former-roc-nation-singer-bridget-kelly-weighs-1566694
Success?

He basically had to beg Sprint to take tidal, and sold that percentage for a song.

Hmmm...

This new deal makes me wonder what kind of new fuckery may happen with Tidybowl memebers now that there's a large telecom company that has a stake in the company. Phone service problems when non-Sprint customers access the app from their smartphones? Or maybe recording audio/conversations without members' permission? It'll be interesting if anything happens.

All hell is gonna break loose because Sprint's CEO met with Donald Trump and pledged to invest 50 billion in America and Sprint wants to buy T-Mobile (see link below). I thought J & Bey were Hillary supporters and Democrats. Their now in cahoots with The Donald. This Sprint deal further shows J will do anything for money. It's also strange that Sprint only purchased 33% why not 50% or all of Tidal? However, J better check his wife because after her Virgin Mary/Oshun Grammy performance, many Sprint customers may not want anything to do with something associated with Bey. I'm a T-Mobile customer and I hope Sprint doesn't buy T-Mobile.

Sprint thinks they are slick, they are hoping the Whitehouse cuts them a break with that merger but I don't see it happening. The Carters are opportunists, they have no real affiliations.
This new deal sounds like PR fodder to me because back in 2015 it was already revealed Softbank is part owner of Tidal.

Sounds to me like Softbank/Sprint has taken over the whole damn thing for peanuts.

Will T mobile be interested in purchasing a streaming service? Give it 2 years or less Tidal will distant memory for JZ.

Bloomberg’s insider sources say that both Sony and Warner have been asking Tidal for huge $$$ advances in exchange for the rights to stream their artists’ catalogs. While Tidal has apparently come to an agreement with Warner, it seems the Sony deal isn’t done yet — and if Tidal can’t find the cash $$$$ to pay its requested royalties, it could lose the music of Beyoncé, who just happens to be one of Tidal’s flagship artists along with being Jay Z’s wife.

Nobody wants to hear her anyway. Nobody streams the carters. Their music is all lame.

Neither service is particularly popular with customers, which makes this partnership sort of poignant. And if you think about it, Sprint is the perfect partner for Tidal, a streaming service that is less popular and costs just as much as its competitors
