Now it sounds like Kanye wanted it to be on Apple Music the whole time. In a series of tweets posted on Saturday, Kanye West asked Apple CEO Tim Cook for a meeting, saying, "Apple give Jay his check for Tidal now and stop tying to act like you Steve," and "this Tidal Apple beef is f******* up the music game." Apple has been rumored to be interested in buying Tidal, especially for access to exclusive album releases like Kanye's.
