According to reports, Jay Z’s streaming service has fired both CFO Chris Hart and COO Nils Juell, apparently because of a large restructuring within the company.
In a contrary report by Swedish website Breakout, Hart was apparently let go because of a dispute over streaming figures. The Verge has reported that operations and accounting departments are also moving to New York as part of the restructure.
It comes as no real surprise that company fired yet more high-profile members, having had three different CEOs in nine months.
TIDAL has recently come under fire for allegedly not paying royalties to one of the artists featured on its services, with one member of The American Dollar hoping to get a multi-million dollar payout.
Recently, Kanye West made his album The Life of Pablo available exclusively on TIDAL, following Rihanna’s lead.
