A fan of rapper Kanye West filed a lawsuit against the actor for violation of the plans of distribution of the last album. Justin Baker-Rhett is angry that the musician had not kept her promise and released a record in Apple Music.
In February of this year, the husband of Kim Kardashian has announced a long-suffering album, “the Life Of Pablo”. However, he said that legally enjoy new music will only be possible through Tidal. “My album never has never will be Apple. And never goes on sale… It will only appear on Tidal”, – wrote in his Twitter West. April 1, “The Life of Pablo” safely arrived at the Apple Music service.
According to the statement of claim of Baker-Retta filed with the court in San Francisco, Kanye misled their fans, initially stating that the record will never be available in other music services, except Tidal.
The plaintiff believes that the millions of fans of the rapper signed up for Tidal for the album, confident that other way to listen The Life of Pablo will not see them. The Tidal benefit from new users in the lawsuit is estimated at $84 million.
“Baker-Rhett believes the superstars should be subject to the same rules as everyone else. Even if their services are experiencing hard times, they can’t fool millions of people and force them to pay (and to give personal details) only for the sake of overstating the value of the company”, – said the lawyer of the Baker-Retta.
