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.

Recently Puff Daddy Smacked Up Drake And from a close source here are some reasons why. Here’s how it went down: Diddy and his manager pull up to the parking lot behind LIV. Diddy’s manager goes into the club to get Diddy’s table situation correct, while Diddy remains in their vehicle. While he’s sitting in the car, Drake’s vehicle pulls up. Upon seeing this, Diddy exits his vehicle and approaches Drake’s vehicle. He taps on the window to talk to him. Instead of acknowledging the tap, Drake looks forward and ignores Diddy, so Diddy taps on the glass a second time. Diddy says calmly, “Yo, I just want to talk to you for a sec, playboy. You ain’t scared to talk for a sec, right?” At this point, Drake opens the door and steps out, saying, “I’m not scared to talk to nobody!” Within a 10 to 15 second time period, very few words were exchanged between the two. Then, Diddy smacked Drake for the first time. Then he smacked him a second time, then he punched him. Drake’s...
