Kanye West has stirred yet another controversy after announcing via Twitter, that fans will never see his new album entitled "The Life of Pablo," on Apple and it won't be for sale, according to Billboard.
This move means that the artist has pledged his loyalty to music streaming service Tidal, of which he is part owner. He asked followers and "music lovers" to sign up for Tidal. This request allowed the app to shoot up to the top of the Apple app store charts.
The artist went on another Twitter outburst hours before the Grammys was aired. His record dropped Saturday night and is exclusively for the music streaming service, owned by fellow rapper and friend Jay Z, revealed CNN Money.
West is the latest among other artists, who chose to keep his music from his latest album "Life of Pablo," off streaming music services. Taylor Swift chose to hold back "1989" and Adele's latest record "25," is not on Apple Music as well.
The rapper also told Pitchfork, The New York Times and Rolling Stone on Twitter, to "not comment on black music anymore."
Kanye West reportedly announced recently, that his new album for 2016 entitled "Life of Pablo," is a gospel record, reported Slate.
My album will never never never be on Apple. And it will never be for sale... You can only get it on Tidal.
