Ever since the TIDAL launch, the media has made it seem as Kanye West didn’t want to be a part of the company. Following the star-studded launch, the Jay Z-helmed service struggled mightily. This coincided with Kanye West taking TIDAL promo off his social media.

Kanye West has built relationships with Apple and there were tons of rumors of him joining Apple Music. There, he would join Eminem, Dr. Dre, Drake, and Pharrell. However, he already has a deal in place with TIDAL, which could complicate things.

This afternoon, a photo surfaced online of Kanye West with some executives from Apple. It was then revealed that Kanye West was playing his new album for Apple executives. Meanwhile, Kanye West did an interview with Vanity Fair and he confirmed his 2020 presidential run, all while expressing his admiration of Ben Carson and how he speaks.
