Jay-Z quietly removes catalog from Apple Music and Spotify as Tidal continues fight for exclusives

<div class="feat-image">(https://9to5mac.files.wordpress.com/2015/03/jay-zz.jpg?quality=82&strip=all&w=1000&h=500)</div><p>Both Spotify and Apple Music users today have noticed that albums from hip-hop artist Jay-Z, who happens to be owner of competing music streaming service Tidal, have been removed from the services.</p>
<p>It appears that most of the artist’s original albums have been removed while some content where he is a featured artist or collaborator, and perhaps not the sole owner of the content, remains available for streaming. Tidal representatives have not officially announced the move, but Spotify’s support team is confirming (https://twitter.com/SpotifyCares/status/850392732111695872) the removal to users of the service on social media (via MacRumors (https://www.macrumors.com/2017/04/07/jay-z-removes-his-albums-from-apple-music/)).</p>
