kayne westLast month we heard rumors that Apple was exploring the purchase of Jay Z's Tidal streaming service. Since then, we've heard nothing, until this weekend when Tidal co-owner Kayne West took to Twitter with some apparent updates. 

And in an unexplained reference to the CEO of Spotify, West added:

It's doubtful that West's rant will influence the negotiations, except perhaps to reinforce the close relationship between Tidal and many major artists.  But it is quite possible that, as a Tidal shareholder, West has inside knowledge, which could include a bid by Spotify, as well as Apple, the acquire Tidal and its 3 million subscribers.
