In March of 2015, Jay Z acquired Tidal’s Oslo-based parent company Aspiro, for $56 million. Tidal quickly inked many A-list artists to deals for it's music streaming service.
Usher, Beyonce, Kanye West, Chris Martin, deadmau5, Jason Aldean, J. Cole, Madonna, Nicki Minaj, Jack White, Alicia Keys, Rihanna and Daft Punk all release new music exclusively through Tidal.
Right out of the gate the company joined a crowded field that included Spotify, Google Play, Amazon Prime and Pandora. The competition for customers became even more fierce when Apple Music was launched in June of 2015.
In September of 2016, the Wall Street Journal reported that Aspiro lost over $28 million in 2015 alone.
Rumors have circulated that Jay wants to sell the company. Apple and Samsung have been mentioned as possible suitors, but nothing has come to fruition.
Apple executive, Jimmy Iovine, told Buzzfeed that the rumors regarding his company were false.
“We’re really running our own race,” he said. “We’re not looking to acquire any streaming services.”
Today, Business Insider reports via Norwegian newspaper Dagens Næringsliv, that Tidal is being accused of inflating it's user numbers.
The report alleges that Jay's September 2015 tweet that his company had reach one million subscribers was greatly exaggerated.
Internal reports indicate Tidal had 830,000 subscribers at the time. Dagens Næringsliv claims that even that number was inflated, pointing out that payments made to record labels put Tidal's subscribers closer to 350,000.
In a May 29, 2016 press release Tidal claimed it had "amassed three million members across 46 countries worldwide." Dagens Næringsliv disputes those numbers, citing internal reports that showed only 1.2 million subscribers. Payments to record labels indicated that it had 850,000 subscribers at the time.

(Reuters) Mexican drug kingpin Joaquin "El Chapo" Guzman will spend the rest of his life in a U.S. prison if convicted on charges he ran the world's largest drug-trafficking organization during a decades-long criminal career, U.S. prosecutors said on Friday.
El Chapo, once one of the world's most wanted drug lords, was set to appear at 2 p.m. EST (1900 GMT) in federal court in Brooklyn to be arraigned on 17 criminal counts, a day after his surprise extradition from Mexico.
The charges carry a mandatory minimum sentence of life in prison, Robert Capers, U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of New York, said at a news conference.
"Who is Chapo Guzman? In short, he's a man known for no other life but a life of crime, violence, death and destruction, and now he'll have to answer to that," Capers said.
Guzman, 59, arrived in a small jet at Long Island's MacArthur Airport after nightfall on Thursday from a prison in the city of Juarez in the northern state of Chihuahua, where his Sinaloa cartel rules.
A few hours earlier, he was bundled out of the Mexican cell block with his hands cuffed above his bowed head, Mexican television footage showed.
Guzman is charged in six separate U.S. indictments. He is accused of money laundering and drug trafficking, kidnapping and murder in Chicago, Miami, New York and other cities.
Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn have more than 40 witnesses ready to testify against Guzman, Capers told reporters, adding that the trial will likely last "many" weeks.
U.S. prosecutors gave assurances to Mexican officials that El Chapo (Spanish for "Shorty") would not be executed in order to secure his extradition, Capers said. Mexico opposes capital punishment.
One of Guzman's lawyers was surprised at the extradition, saying that four appeals in Mexico were outstanding to stop it.
Leading the Sinaloa cartel, El Chapo oversaw perhaps the world's largest transnational cocaine, heroin and methamphetamine smuggling operation, playing a key role in Mexico's decade-long drug war that has killed over 100,000 people.
"Guzman and the Sinaloa cartel had a veritable army, ready to war with competitors and anyone Guzman deemed to be a traitor," U.S. prosecutors said. He was known to carry a gold-plated AK-47 rifle.
He was captured a year ago after he had fled a high-security penitentiary in central Mexico through a mile-long tunnel, his second dramatic prison escape.
U.S. authorities, citing security concerns, declined to say where he would be held while awaiting trial, but they vowed to prevent any further escapes.
"I assure you, no tunnel will be built leading to his bathroom," Special Agent In Charge Angel Melendez of U.S. Homeland Security Investigations said at the news conference.

(New York Daily News) Florida cops have released surveillance video of the arrest of Markeith Loyd, who faced a judge again Friday after being charged in the slaying of an Orlando police officer.
Loyd, accused of killing at least two people, was hit with the fresh set of charges on Thursday night, including first-degree murder of a law enforcement officer, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
Update in the apprehension of triple murder suspect Markeith Loyd: https://t.co/xPkgSMmH7g pic.twitter.com/qELyRAFIOf
— Orlando Police (@OrlandoPolice) January 19, 2017
During a hearing Thursday morning relating to the slaying of his pregnant former girlfriend, the 41-year-old Loyd ranted to the court, closing the appearance by repeatedly saying "fuck you" to Judge Jeanette Dejuras Bigney.
Loyd was much more subdued in a brief court appearance in Orlando on Friday morning.
The new charges against Loyd include wearing a bullet-proof vest and carjacking, according to the Sentinel. He now faces a total of 10 charges relating to the two deaths, according to the newspaper.
Lt. Debra Clayton of the Orlando Police Department was gunned down on Jan. 9 while attempting to capture Loyd. His ex-girlfriend Sade Dixon was fatally shot at her home in December.

Loyd told the judge on Thursday he plans to represent himself, and said the charges against him were made up.
He was injured during his arrest Tuesday night following a week-long manhunt, and was heavily bandaged as he showed up in court. He suffered a fractured left orbital bone, according to WTKR.
"You all portray this shit to the news people like I just went there and shot this girl when there were other guns found," he said to the judge on Thursday.
The video shows some officers kicking Loyd as he is seen crawling toward them, according to the Tampa Bay Times.
"The first night that he was captured and brought into custody, we did not try to hide what had happened to him," Orlando Police Chief John Mina told reporters, according to WTKR. "Obviously, we want to be very transparent and open. He resisted arrest. We used force. He was injured. It will be investigated."

Said Mina, according to the station: "We were the ones who found him. He didn't surrender. We found him and he tried to escape and then came out, did not comply with officers' commands and they used force."
Orlando cops said they would investigate the use of force used to bring Loyd in, and released aerial surveillance video of the capture.

Director Spike Lee's disappointment in Chrisette Michele's decision to perform at president-elect Donald Trump's inauguration, has prompted him to change his mind about using one of her songs in his new Netflix series, "She's Gotta Have It."
"Good Morning Folks. I Wuz Sorry To Read That "Sistuh Girl" Is Singin' At DT's Inauguration (And To Use His Fav Word-SAD). I Wuz Thinkin' 'bout Using Chrisette's Song- BLACK GIRL MAGIC In My Netflix Series SHE'S GOTTA HAVE IT.... NOT ANYMORE. And Dat's Da Truth, Ruth," Lee captioned an Instagram photo of the singer on Thursday, January 19.
Michele, a Grammy Award-winner, penned an open letter in response to the heavy backlash she's received on social media for accepting the invitation to sing at the inauguration, which takes place on Friday, January 20.
"My heart is broken for our country, for the hopes of our children, for the fights of those who came before us.
I cry at the thought that Black History, American History might be in vain.
This country has had great moments. God has shined His light upon us.
Today, I hope that Great Moments begin in peaceful & progressive conversation. I am willing to be a bridge. I don't mind "These Stones", if they allow me to be a voice for the voiceless.
I am here.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, "Our lives begin to end, the day we become silent about what matters,". I am here, representing you, because this is what matters." - Chrisette Michele
How this affects Michele's career moving forward remains to be seen, but we think her true fans will continue to support her.

Donald Trump has locked down the artists who will perform when he is sworn in as the 45th President of the United States on January 20th in Washington, D.C.
His team had to scramble to fill in slots after Jennifer Holliday, Elton John, Andrea Bocelli, Garth Brooks, Kiss, David Foster, Charlotte Church and Celine Dion all declined the opportunity.
Chrisette Michelle is set to perform at president-elect Donald Trump's inauguration
Entertainers who will take part in the inauguration include Chrisette Michele, Toby Keith, Jackie Evancho, Big & Rich, Jon Voight, Sam Moore, Lee Greenwood, The Piano Guys, 3 Doors Down and others.
Azealia Banks
One not-so-happy camper who didn't get an invite to perform tomorrow night is Azealia Banks. The 25-year old rapper took to social media to bemoan the fact that she was overlooked.
"Saw the entertainment line for the inauguration it made me very upset. This is an EPIC moment in modern history and it should def be celebrated in style. I would love to perform at the inauguration," she posted on her Facebook account Wednesday.
Banks then hit up her Instagram account to shit on the booked performers, saying she and right-wing editor Milo Yiannopoulos should have been the hosts.
"The inauguration line up is so trash," the Harlem, New York native wrote. "I should have been performing the big big beat at the inauguration. Who are any of these people associated with it? And who the hell authorized this shit? This election was waaaaaay too lit for there to be such a lack-luster celebration. Me and Milo should be hosting it and turning that party into the teen choice awards."
Welp...
