<p>Back in October, Variety reported that Jay-Z had been spotted at Samsung offices in Silicon Valley and many thought that it foreshadowed a future deal between the two conglomerates. More specifically, rumors of Jay seeking a new home for Tidal began to manifest, however, it may not just be a rumor anymore!</p>
<p>An in-the-know source told the NY Post, “Samsung is re-engaging; they are working on something really big, and they’re keeping it very quiet in case it leaks.” Well, the phone company has already shelled out $28 million to sponsor Rihanna&#8217;s Anti projects, so what other big thing could be in the works? Also, why is Jay-Z allegedly trying to sell Tidal to Samsung?</p>
<p>The NY Post:</p>
<p>Tidal has succeeded in attracting upwards of 1 million subscribers but has faced several stumbles in its short life. The firm in December hired its third boss, naming former Soundcloud executive Jeff Toig as chief executive.</p>
<p>Also, Tidal accidentally released Rihanna’s album “Anti” early while Kanye West’s latest album, “The Life of Pablo,” suffered from huge piracy issues after it was released widely even to non-subscribers of Tidal.</p>
<p>The piracy cost West at least $10 million in lost sales in the first days of its release, The Post reported.</p>
<p>Once you factor in that Tidal is barely even a year and a half old, you&#8217;ll realize that these issues are growing pains that any company endures. It just seems like a much bigger, more scandalous issue since there are celebrities involved. Regardless, Jay-Z and the rest of the Tidal family will figure out what to do with this streaming service.</p>
