Jay Z and Kanye West Sued by California Man // Uriel Cruz, Period 6

You remember that TLOP + Tidal blog I did a few months back? (If you use '//' in your titles, you probably should.) Well, it's come back to haunt Kanye, as I predicted, but in a different way. After promoting Tidal, which is run by Jay Z's S. Carter Enterprises, Kanye's fans flooded the site, pun intended. Tidal had a total of 1m subscribers on its website but went up to 2.5m in 10 days after Kanye tweeted that his album would "never never be on Apple. And it will never be for sale" and fans could "only get it on Tidal."

 As mentioned in the other blog, there is a $20 subscription fee, so $50m dollars were made just in subscription fees alone. A month and a half later, however, TLOP was released on Apple Music, Spotify, and even Kanye's website. Scandalous, amiright? Well, it's time someone stood up to this blood sucking foolery. Who will stand up? Why, no other than Justin Baker-Rhett!

Justin Baker-Rhett is one of the many fans allegedly conned by Kanye and Jay. He and his attorneys filed a 26-page action in the US District Court in San Fransisco, seeking "class-action status for the suit to represent as many as 2 million current and former subscribers to Tidal."

This reminds me of the credibility gap that was created during the Vietnam War. The government wouldn't tell the public the truth and ended up blowing up in the government's face when the public found out what was really going on. This is what could potentially happen to both rappers in the near Future, pun intended.
