Last week, rumors of Tidal’s failure were swirling. Well, Jay-Z has stepped into the picture to right some wrongs via Twitter, assuring music fans and artists that Tidal is doing just fine.

First, he re-assured fans that “Tidal is doing just fine”

Tidal is doing just fine. We have over 770,000 subs. We have been in business less than one month. #TidalFacts

He then asked for a chance to let Tidal “grow and get better”

We are here for the long haul. Please give us a chance to grow & get better. #TidalFacts

He spoke out against rivals who were plotting against Tidal

There are many big companies that are spending millions on a smear campaign. We are not anti-anyone, we are pro-artist & fan. #TidalFacts

— Mr. Carter (@S_C_) April 26, 2015

Even reiterating Tidal’s artist-friendly policies

….Tidal is where artists can give their fans more without the middlemen. #TidalFacts

Indie artists who want to work directly w/ us keep 100% of their music. "If you don't want the CEOs all in the videos" haa #tidalfacts

Tidal pays 75% royalty rate to ALL artists, writers and producers – not just the founding members on stage.

We have Tidal X – it supports artists by giving them a platform to connect with their most loyal fans. Tidal is for all. #Tidalfacts

— Mr. Carter (@S_C_) April 26, 2015

He compared Tidal’s monetary figures to competitors

Rich getting richer? Equity values… YouTube $390 billion. Apple $760 billion. Spotify $8 billion. Tidal $60 million. #TidalFacts

— Mr. Carter (@S_C_) April 26, 2015

And ended off by stating that Tidal will only get better

Our actions will speak louder than words. We made Tidal to bring people the best experiences…

— Mr. Carter (@S_C_) April 26, 2015

and to help artists give that to their fans over and over again…

— Mr. Carter (@S_C_) April 26, 2015

We are human (even Daft Punk ha). We aren't perfect – but we are determined. #TidalFacts

According to Page Six, there seems to be a music streaming “war” between Tidal and Apple’s iTunes, and consumers can expect some of their favorite artistes to be allied with either camp and the resulting music made exclusively available for either company’s product. Seeing as it’ll be next to impossible for consumers to create a playlist if the songs are fragmented into the various streaming services, we don’t see how the “war” can benefit the end-user.
