Drake's DJ Says Apple Did Not Stop Tidal Stream

It's a case of "he said, she said" between Drake, Apple Music and Tidal as sources from the rapper claim Apple Music had nothing to do with Tidal not streaming Drake's set during Lil Wayne's Hurricane Katrina benefit.

In an interview with BuzzFeed News, Future the Prince says it was Drake's choice not to stream his performance at Lil Weezyana Festival for Tidal. Previous reports claimed Apple Music threatened Tidal with a $20 million lawsuit if they aired the rapper's performance. Prince claims Tidal was aware of the decision, but used it as a marketing ploy to make Apple Music look like the villain between the streaming services.

"The decision to not have Drake participate in the Tidal stream has nothing to do with Apple or Drake's deal," Prince told BuzzFeed News. "Point blank, 100%. I made a business decision. Apple doesn't have the power to stop us from being part of a live stream. The only people that have the power to do that are Cash Money and Universal, and they're our partners. I don't understand.. If you're going to say something about the situation publicly, you should tell the truth. They saw the opportunity to take a situation and spin it in their favor as a publicity stunt."

Prince also stated Apple as a company cannot file a lawsuit about Drake's likeness because they don't have the power to. Drake performed the tracks "Back to Back" and "HYFR" with Lil Wayne at the benefit for children affected by Hurricane Katrina.

I am truly and deeply sorry to all my fans but most of all to myself and my family for putting us in this situation. "I want off this label and nothing to do with these people but unfortunately it ain't that easy," he continued. "I am a prisoner and so is my creativity.
