Billboard reports:
Sprint has acquired a 33 percent stake in Jay Z‘s streaming service Tidal, the two companies announced today (Jan. 23). A source familiar with the matter tells Billboard that the purchase was for $200 million and that Jay and each of the company’s two dozen artist-owners will remain part owners.
Here’s Twitter’s take.

1. You do the math.
Jay Z bought Tidal for $56mil. Sprint just bought 1/3 of Tidal for $200mil. That means Tidal is now worth $600mil - 10 times what Jay paid.

3. Major bag alert.
Jay Z gotta stop doing these legitimate drug-esque deals man without letting a kid in. 200 million bruh for selling 33% of Tidal to Sprint.
