Kanye West's latest Twitter rant is directed towards Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:
AAPL)'s management team for feuding with Tidal, a rival
music streaming company owned by Jay Z.
West, no stranger to profanity and controversy, tweeted that an apparent feud between Apple Music and Tidal is
messing up the music game. His tweets come at a time when it is believed Tidal is negotiating a sale of itself to Apple.

Interested In Jay Z's Tidal, But Sources Say It Won't Happen
West, a known supporter of Tidal's music streaming service, is asking for a conference involving Jay Z, Apple's CEO Tim Cook, Apple's senior
music executives including Jimmy Iovine, himself and several other music stars.
West wants Apple to "give Jay his check" and stop delaying
acquisition talks. He also wants Apple to stop "trying to act
like you Steve" — a reference to Apple's late CEO Steve Jobs.
