So The Folks Running Tidal Have Gone Bat Shit Crazy

Is that it? Because that's the ONLY thing that can explain THIS:

19106041_10214085050508896_5270728200105479843_n.jpg?oh=a1285306e37f309151c5da93e3176b19&oe=599E345D


I don't have Tidal and after this I damn sure NEVER will! But this is on FB and the person that posted it said that this is on Prince's singles page and the song that sctually plays is Prince's Money Don't Matter Tonight. Apparently this bullshit has been up since Prince's birthday. mad

I knew from the start that I loved you with all my heart.

--It does not play Money Don't Matter Tonight and this is some bum rapper who is calling himself "Prince" and he is talking about being a junkie for money. See the video below.

I may shoot a e-mail to their tech department. They are actually good at helping if you are having a technical issues so maybe someone goofed putting this guy in with the Prince singles or maybe because he is using the name Prince this song is just going to pop up.

Yes - they tend to lump artists with the same name together. It can be frustrating.

This is attention-getting behavior from them. They know it's up. They HAVE to. I have friends who have contacted them and it remains up. Laura, plz try them if you can and I will try them too.

Well technically if the group is named Prince they're supposed to be there. I don't think they'll do anything because it falls within their policy. I'm not sure whether or not it appeared right on his birthday, but it was damned close to it. Which is enough to get fans suspcious enough to put pressure to change regardless of their policy. But it'll take a massive fan effort and not seeing that desire anywhere.

I will shoot them an e-mail this weekend the person who put up the video is named Prince Lawson so maybe they could put his last name behind the single. I think we have to realize that people are putting up their music on streaming services independent of record lables so we are going to see crazy crap that would have never made it past a A/R departement at a major record.

One, that's not the only person on Tidal with "Prince" in their name and yet they're stuff isn't mixed up in Prince's stuff. Two, generally in show bizness artist with the same name usually do something to their name to distinguish themselves from one another something I think to do with being able to collect their royalties. Three, this is the only work by this person?

You know what, bunk it, money talks, bs walks, I'm taking my little pennies and walking because I don't spend money to deal with other peoples bs and issues. I got Google, Spotify and other means to get my other favorites from.

---When you pull up the other Prince's they have something else behind their name so no confusion. Anyway if you put in Prince's name now you don't see this junky song pop up so it looks like it was fixed.

This is a bunch of baloney. No Respect. I don't appreciate it at all. What is Tidals problem and why haven't anyone taken this down. Princes legacy should come first not this. I am not happy about this at all.

Thx I will do the same in the morning. Its still up. Last name or initial for that other Prince would probably resolve it. That's if there really IS another Prince. Seems like a bad joke of done kind to me. The music isn't really professional either.

Simple case of the same name being applied to a different artist by mistake. I've seen it happen numerous times on Tidal.

Perhaps Tidal would be quicker to take this down if the Estate hadn't shafted them and blatantly lied in their paperwork.

Prince delivered exclusive new music to Tidal a few days before his death and was clearly still working happily with them. There's no way he would've continued so amicably if Tidal owed him money or had mistreated him in any way.

Without Tidal Prince's last two albums, along with a handful of other songs, would never have been released.

I'm not buying any explanations for one reason.....in the other thread it indicates that this trash was posted on June 7th. If that is the case then somebody got some 'splaining to do. Correct me if I'm wrong, but why that date?


It was myself and I MJcarousal, I believe who told y'all before that Mr. Tidal is shady as hell but some are still under the delusion that he was P's bff. eek If he was then why is it that J NEVER issued any kind of statement on P's passing? The only thing he did was boast on stage about having those masters in his hands because he thought he had it made, but he was wrong.

I didn't see him or hear his name mentioned at any of the several memorials that were held either.

And don't get me started on that end run he tried to make around the estate with the help of Pimp Hubby.

If he and J were such tight buddies then why did George Lopez literally have to put up the $$ for the cremation and wake that was held??? Why not one of his closest business associates? Someone that Prince benefitted greatly just by lending his name to Tidal.


One of the last messages that Prince left us was that image of himself with his third eye open.....everything doesn't need to be spelled out for people who heed that message.





Prince, in you I found a kindred spirit...Rest In Paradise.
