The hatred for Black Americans is so strong, some Nigerians have stopped operating off of logic, entirely.

Why propagate acrimony among Black Americans & Africans? Your tweets are not even alignment w/the artist you’re supporting. @burnaboy is a Pan-Africanist. He believes in unity among all Blacks. If it weren’t for Black America’s Hip Hop, Burna & Wizkid wouldn’t have careers.

.@burnaboy helped @Diddy? Diddy’s personal net worth is higher than Nigeria’s national GDP. @wizkidayo’s helped @Beyonce & @Drake? How exactly? Beyoncé and Drake’s combined global sales is nearly $400 million. What kind of logic are you operating off of?

The anti-Black American stench of your wildly ignorant tweet lingers all the way to NYC. Why argue with @nypost, a known tabloid whose news & sports verticals are more prominent? What’s your beef w/Black American global superstars whose platforms can only amphify @burnaboy?

😂😂😂

You don’t live to know but you’re attempting to box with Black media/entertainment insiders who do know? Godspeed, Adam Knows.

Tidal’s board of directors of music artists who are a part of America’s 1 percent does not help Black recruitment & retention pipeline, which deeply impacts Black economic power & advancement.

You are a tech & entertainment layperson. You also don’t read. Jay Z is still the majority owner of Tidal. Roc Nation runs Tidal. Tidal’s CEO reports to Desiree, CEO of RN. Jay sold 33% of his stake to Sprint, which makes him majority owner. Read the link you posted.

Adam, once again your intel is inaccurate. Sprint does not own Tidal—they only have a 33% share, which means Tidal is still majority Black-owned by Shawn Carter. techcrunch.com/2017/01/23/sp…

You’re welcome. ❤️

You’re welcome, sis. Stay on their necks.

Oh be clear—we do not. It’s equally problematic for you to be on Twitter reprimanding Black folk who are calling Jay out for his hypocrisy when your intel is inaccurate. If Bey can have a virtually all-Black staff at Parkwood, so can Jay. Bey’s COO & GM are also Black.

They even have a white man running digital marketing. Do you know how many qualified & talented Black folks in NYC are experts in digital marketing w/music & app experience?

How we lose battles is not having authentic intel of what’s going on & you evidently don’t. I know your name is Adam Knows but seemingly Adam does not know about Tidal’s all-white exec team. Check LinkedIn. CEO, COO, SVP, VPs are NOT Black.

I’m referring to Tidal’s NY office which is their HQ & has been for sometime. Also where I live. It’s widely known they don’t have Black execs. Black in US is 13.4% & NYC is 23.4%. There’s an even larger pop of Black industry execs. Jay has no excuse. census.gov/quickfacts/newyor…

Tidal does not hire Black leaders. Whole executive team are white men. Yes, right here in their NYC office. Not a single Black senior leader. Meanwhile Bey has virtually an all Black staff at Parkwood. Bey walks walk. Shawn does not.

There are 0 Black decision makers at Tidal. CEO, COO, SVPs, VPs are all NOT Black. Not a single Black person in any leadership role. Just check LinkedIn. Demonstrated commitment to Black people is hiring Black at the top. Tidal does not.

Not true. Tidal’s NYC office as of 2020 is ran by white men.

You’re right. There are 0 Black decision makers at Tidal. CEO, COO, SVPs, VPs are all NOT Black. Not a single Black person in any leadership role. Just check LinkedIn. Demonstrated commitment of Black investment is hiring Black at the top. Tidal does not.
