Jay Z is facing a legal battle for allegedly streaming Prince's music illegally on TIDAL.
TMZ reports that the late singer's NPG Records is suing Roc Nation for copyright infringement. According to the suit, Prince entered into an agreement prior to his death with RN that allowed his 2015 album titled "Hit N Run: Phase 1" to be streamed on TIDAL.
NPG Records alleges TIDAL illegally began to stream almost all of Prince's music catalog without consent on June 7, 2016, a little over a month after the singer died from an accidental overdose of fentanyl. He was 57-years old.
The three pages of songs listed in the lawsuit include some of the music icon's biggest hit records, including "I Wanna Be Your Lover," "1999," "Little Red Corvette," "Cream," "Purple Rain," "Controversy" and "Pop Life."
Prince's label wants TIDAL to cease streaming his music outside of "Hit N Run: Phase 1." They are also seeking an unspecified amount in damages.
