American rapper Jay Z is now the official owner of streaming services Tidal and WiMP, a report said.
The news came as Jya Z's 56 million dollar bid for Aspiro, the Swedish tech company behind the streaming services, was accepted by shareholders, reported The Verge.
The services cater to the more upscale audiophiles, with curated recommendations and playlists, artists' interviews, and songs you can stream and download in lossless FLAC format.
They can be availed in six countries across the European market and have over 580,000 paying customers.
