Prince VS Jay-Z: A Literal Fight for His Life (not my video and everything is alleged) Why would Prince fight his whole career to own his masters, to give the away to Jay-Z ? And all we have is Jay-Z and Will Smith a word right before one the healthiest men alive died from drugs ? The FBI is currently investigating ROC Nation and that is information I obtained independently. Nicki Minaj is now being represented by the same person who freed Prince and helped protect his estate from ROC Nation. I’ll provide more evidence to sport this the morning. #Retweet

#AndThenWillSmithWillAppear ROC Nation allegedly tried to illegally obtain management of Prince's estate. Jay-Z (despite not being able to provide any legal proof) says we should take his word for what Prince wished before he died and not Londell McMillan (who famously freed Prince from his slave contract with Warner). And of course Will Smith has to pop up to fan the flames on the narrative spun by Jay-Z. Will appearing like the Grim reaper (apparently) saw Biggie hours before he died and claims 8 hours before Prince died his last words to him were about going into business with Jay-Z. All odd coincidences FOR NOW but we will unpack more tomorrow morning 🤞🏾

Three days ago, a popular TikToker posted a video accusing Roc Nation and Jay-Z of bullying him over his content about Nicki Minaj and Hollywood. Now, it appears his claims may have some weight, as his TikTok account was nearly taken down. — Roc Nation, Jay-Z, Desiree Perez, and their legal team at Reed Smith have been illegally issuing copyright takedown notices against users discussing Jay-Z or Desiree Perez in an effort to control the narrative.👀

Nicki may tell a joke but she never tells a lie part 1 billion at this point. Nicki called out Elliott Wilson for spreading false narratives about her and feeling that it was appropriate to do so because of Jay-Z. Now Elliott Wilson reveals Jay-Z’s Roc Nation is funding his media platform. If they are funding him then it’s safe to assume that per his job as a media personality he has to align with the values of the people lining his pockets correct ? Showing once again that Nicki does not lie and they’ve been trying to sabotage her character using the media. Literally funding it !

In 2019, De La Soul, after years of public disputes with Tom Silverman (owner of Tommy Boy Records) urged their fans to boycott the streaming of their back catalog because the label would be keeping 90% of the streaming revenue generated, leaving only the remaining 10% for the trio to split amongst themselves. Jay-Z, in an effort to show solidarity with the group, reached out to them to see how he could support. They agreed to remove De La Soul’s back catalog from streaming on TIDAL until the matter was resolved. Removing the music from streaming would hurt the label financially. After Jay-Z and TIDAL’s initiative, Apple Music and Spotify also joined in and agreed to remove their music from streaming. Which ultimately led to new negotiations between the group and the label, and the matter was finally resolved. Jay-Z did this without having ANY business ties of any kind to De La Soul. In fact, choosing to not stream their back catalog, while that same music was still available for streaming on competitor streaming services such as Apple Music and Spotify, was actually a bad business move for TIDAL. But Jay felt that it was far more important to stand with his peers and unite against the exploitation of artists.

JAY-Z - Stream Of Consciousness The Lore: The music industry(the 3 major labels) decided to change the music selling model from physical cds to streaming. They didn’t ask the artists for permission. They didn’t negotiate how much a stream would cost, they just did it & the trillion dollar assets they used to start it was the artists’ music. JAY-Z, someone who’s extremely passionate about ownership of one’s music, said no. He wasn’t going to allow them to make billions off his music. Prince, Beyoncé, & a few others also objected. 💯 Instead of crying, JAY-Z paid $56 million for Tidal & gave FREE equity to a dozen-plus artists. However, unlike Spotify & Apple Music… Tidal received major backlash. People said if they supported Tidal it would just be the rich getting richer. Completely ignoring the fact that Spotify was worth billions & APPLE is worth even more. Fine. & Again, instead of more crying, he proceeded to build Tidal into a now billion dollar company & then sold shares of it to his friend Jack Dorsey for $300 million while still negotiating to ensure the other artists maintained their shares. Those artists made about $9 million each solely because Jay gifted them equity in a company HE paid for. This freestyle was months after purchasing Tidal to address his people directly & to address the backlash from the media. “I don’t take no checks I take my respect Pharrell even told me go with the safest bet, Jimmy Iovine offered a safety net, Google dangled around a crazy check, I feel like YouTube is the biggest culprit, Them niggas pay you a tenth of what you supposed to get”

Jay Z has been overrated his entire career…I laughed when he labeled himself the best rapper alive and mainstream media repeated the propaganda — when his music has always been trash 🗑️ Jay Z stayed biting from other artists his entire career…Because he has no originality, no creativity, and no bars!!!!! I am not new to this, I am true to this — I told the sheeple celebrity worshippers the truth about this glorified industry plant —and somehow got labeled a hater😂 Some folks think I’m just hating on Jay Z, but the reality is, his music has always been garbage. He is an installed plant by the establishment and the music industry — my opinion 🤷🏽‍♀️ The establishment knew that Jay Z was mediocre rapper, and a willing house ninhgga — who would do any and everything for riches and fame…

Larry Johnson, former NFL running back, and close personal friend of Beyoncé’s husband, Jay Z — says Jay Z totally embarrassed himself with his arrested development freestyle, and dress attire on stage at The Roots picnic.. Johnson says he really feels sad for Jay Z, who at 60 years old, claiming to be a billionaire, and is married with children — is trying to compete with younger Black talented artists, who are 30 to 40 years younger than him.. It makes one wonder if Jay Z is actually happy with his life — or could it be that the choices Jay Z has made in his life are now haunting him??? Johnson says that the compromised OG’s of hip hop are controlled opposition who are sent by record labels to destroy the careers of younger talented Black artists — and this is the sole reason Jay Z is attacking Drake, Nicki Minaj, and Tory Lanez.. Johnson explains how the music industry emasculates Black men, saying that this was the reason for Kendrick Lamar wearing a dress looking like a boy bride on a magazine cover — and why he wore women’s bell bottom jeans during his Super Bowl halftime performance… “The man who views the world the same at 50, as he did at 20, has wasted 30 years of his life.” Muhammad Ali

Jerry Jones (owner of The Dallas Cowboys) has recently come out to reveal dealing Jay-Z as a sports agent has made him no longer want to deal with Agents. He says Jay-Z stoped returning his calls and did not uphold his end of his contractual agreement as a sports agent. There has been speculation for years about Jay-Z’s involvement of Dez Bryant’s contract signing with the Cowboys back in 2015. Roc Nation Sports Roc Nation has seemingly come out to confirm that Jay-Z did indeed par take in an illegal contract negotiation (allegedly ! given that Jay is not NFLPA certified). Now it seems to be a fact that they were at the 21 club. What we don’t know is what allegedly happened in the Wine Cellar between Jay and Jerry that lasted until 5 in the morning ? Seems ROC Nation can’t catch a break these days. And should the FBI now investigate all the athletes signed to RN sports and if those negotiations were legal ?

The way Jay-Z slimed out Lil Wayne was vicious. At the peak of Carter V anticipation and the Cash Money lawsuit with Lil Wayne and Birdman, he released the Free Weezy album (FWA) as an exclusive to TIDAL, Jay-Z's company. Jay-Z would later sell TIDAL for 300 million, making 6x the 50 million that he had paid for it, and getting to be on the board of Square with Jack Dorsey (founder of Cash App and Twitter). And then, when the opportunity came to have Lil Wayne do a performance at the Super Bowl in New Orleans, he stiff-arms him and puts Kendrick Lamar there instead. (Ye also contributed an exclusive in The Life of Pablo, and both of these albums drove a significant amount of users to Tidal. But with how disrespectful Ye has gotten, speaking out about Jay-Z, and then more recently about his children, it's to be expected that Jay-Z doesn't do anything for him or even speak to him. But Lil Wayne has never uttered a single word about Jay and only shown him love, including throwing up the ROC during this era. )

🤔📱 The Irony Of Jay-Z’s 30-Year “Reasonable Doubt” Celebration Being Sponsored By Apple Music One of the most surprising developments in hip-hop business history might be seeing Apple Music support Jay-Z’s 30th anniversary celebration for Reasonable Doubt after years of Jay publicly positioning himself against Apple and other major streaming platforms. Let’s not forget the history: 📅 2013: Jay-Z Partners With Samsung When Jay-Z released Magna Carta Holy Grail, he partnered with Samsung in an effort to create an alternative path outside of Apple’s ecosystem. The deal was viewed as a direct challenge to Apple’s dominance and a way to push culture toward Samsung rather than the iPhone. 📅 2015: The TIDAL Era After acquiring TIDAL, Jay-Z became one of the loudest voices advocating for artist ownership and independence from major tech corporations. During his famous TIDAL concerts and speeches, Jay questioned why consumers were willing to support billion-dollar corporations like Apple and Spotify but were hesitant to support a Black-owned streaming platform. 🗣️ His message was clear: “Artists over algorithms.” He argued that ownership mattered more than convenience and that creators deserved a larger share of the revenue generated from their work. 📅 2017: Jay-Z Takes Shots At Apple Music On 4:44, Jay-Z appeared to address the streaming wars directly on “Smile.” 🗣️ “F*** a slice of the apple pie, want my own cake.” 🗣️ “Respect Jimmy Iovine, but he gotta respect the Elohim as a whole new regime.” The message was obvious: Jay didn’t want a piece of Apple’s business. He wanted ownership and control of his own platform. 📅 2018: Jay-Z & Beyoncé’s “BOSS” On Everything Is Love, Jay-Z seemingly doubled down on those frustrations. 🗣️ “Ns getting jerked, that s hurts, I take it personally. N***s rather work for the man than to work with me.” Many interpreted the line as frustration toward artists choosing deals with Apple Music and other corporate giants instead of supporting TIDAL and Black-owned ventures. 📅 2026: Apple Music Sponsors Jay-Z’s Brooklyn Celebration Fast forward to today, and Apple Music is helping support Jay-Z’s Reasonable Doubt 30-year anniversary pop-up event in Brooklyn. 👀 The same company that was once viewed as TIDAL’s biggest competitor is now partnering with Jay-Z to celebrate one of the most important albums in hip-hop history. The bigger question is: Was Jay-Z wrong back then, or is this simply business evolving? Because for over a decade, Jay-Z preached ownership, independence, and building alternatives to tech giants. Now one of those very tech giants is helping celebrate his legacy. 💭 Maybe this is proof that business isn’t personal. 💭 Maybe it’s proof that ownership battles eventually become partnership opportunities. 💭 Or maybe it’s just another reminder that in the music industry, today’s competitor can become tomorrow’s business partner. Either way, if you followed the Samsung, TIDAL, Apple Music, and streaming wars over the last decade, seeing Apple Music attached to a Jay-Z celebration is something very few people would’ve predicted back in 2015.

#BreakingNews: Fans are accusing Jay-Z of getting his rise to fame by cooperating with the hip hop police, the feds, and snitching on his friends. Jay-z Took a trip to London with Jaz-O back in 88, coincidentally Jay's trap house was raidied and all his friends went to jail but him. Jay's childhood best friend says he was investigated from 89-96 (from the time he went to London to the time Reasonable doubt dropped). Dehaven says he was selling drugs with Jay-z heavily at this time, the feds even claimed to have wire taps. Yet he says it was odd that Jay-z who was on these same phones having incriminating conversations with him was never investigated. Dee Haven believes i#BreakingNewst's becuae Jay's best friend was involved with a federal informant/agent who eventually married into the Roc Family. Listen to the story be told from Jay himself, Jaz-O and D-Haven in this clip. Does it sound like Jay-z set his friends up to take the fall for his drug business so he could be a star ? We know the people who hired Epstein are into blackmail and control. Could Jay-Z have been blackmailed into being the "handler" for black culture? While all his criminal activity got swept under the rug ? Well take a listen and You be the judge !

#BreakingNews: A criminal investigation against Jay-Z and Tidal was conducted for allegedly using bots. A whistle blower from the company handed over a file with all the information to the Norwegian police. Oddly enough the investigation was dropped after Jay-Z sold company to his Bestie Jack Dorsey against other board members wishes. This triggered the board of Block shareholders (company over Cash App) to sue Jack Dorsey for even buying the company. ROC Nation has also been accused by former clients of hiring hackers and using bots. -via VICE

one thing that’s funny to me is how Nicki thanked Jay-Z during her vanguard award speech at the 2022 VMAs which was already after Jay-Z sold majority of his tidal deal back in 2021 and she didn’t have a problem with him. Now she claiming he stole money from her, it makes no sense
