<p>Looks like one  of Kanye West&&num;8217&semi;s tweets have gotten him in trouble with some of his fans&&num;8230&semi; can&&num;8217&semi;t say we didn&&num;8217&semi;t see that one coming&excl;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Anyways remember that one time when Mr&period;West first dropped his highly anticipated album &&num;8216&semi;The Life Of Pablo&&num;8217&semi; on Tidal and then went on a rant saying it would never be released anywhere else&quest; If you forgot we pulled up the tweet below&colon;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p><amp-twitter data-tweetid&equals;"699376240709402624" layout&equals;"responsive" width&equals;"600" height&equals;"480"><&sol;amp-twitter><&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>Well those very words single handedly help raise Tidal&&num;8217&semi;s subcriptions by more than 100&percnt;&period; So basically Tidal went from 1 million to a whopping 2&period;5 million subscribers who all opted to give in and pay the &dollar;9&period;99 monthly fee just to hear the Chicago rapper&&num;8217&semi;s newest album&&num;8230&semi; too bad its now streaming on Apple Music and Spotify&excl;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>One particularly pissed fan&comma; Justin Baker-Rhett&comma; is now taking legal action against Kanye and Tidal claiming that he was duped along with millions of others into buying a subscription for Tidal&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;<p>&&num;8220&semi;We fully support the right of artists to express themselves freely and creatively&comma; however creative freedom is not a license to mislead the public&comma;&&num;8221&semi; wrote Jay Edelson&comma; Baker-Rhett&&num;8217&semi;s attorney&comma; in a statement&period; &&num;8220&semi;We believe that we will be able to prove to a jury that Mr&period;
