Before Prince died, he was an artist owner at Tidal. Following his death, Tidal made every released song and album available for streaming. Now we learn Jay Z wants to take it a step further.
Several weeks ago, Jay Z flew Prince’s sister, Tyka, and her husband, Maurice Phillips, to New York for a meeting. Jay was interested in purchasing Prince’s unreleased catalog. Sources say he made an offer of around $40 million, though this number has not been confirmed.
It won’t be that easy to get an answer, however. Despite the fact Tyka is Prince’s only full-sibling, she will Tyka will still have to get the deal signed off by all their brothers and sisters, in addition to the trust that is managing the estate.
