“Apple give Jay his check for Tidal now and stop tying to act like you Steve,” West concluded in the rant, referring to former Apple CEO Steve Jobs.

Earlier this summer, The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple is holding early talks about acquiring Tidal.

West’s latest album, The Life of Pablo, was released as a Tidal exclusive earlier this year.
