The rapper, popular for the “Smile” hit song says he would rather concentrate on writing music and raising a family. According to a source, JAY-Z has put his attention on being a husband, being a father plus working on the success of his new album. The source further adds that directing your attention towards Kanye is like dealing with a pesky fly in your food. You can avoid your meal because of a fly that keeps going around on its business.

    The two rappers seem having been going through turbulent moments of tension since Kim Kardashian came back from Paris. At one moment they are good, at another moment they are not so much. Hell broke loose when JAY dropped the 4:44 on June 30, a song that seen to tear into Kanye. To make matters worse, the “Famous” rapper walked away from Tidal a few days later. But how does JayZ feel about it? A source was quoted saying that whole matter surrounding Kanye’s rumored move to quit Tidal will be handled by lawyers. The source further says JAY is keeping off any of the dramas that Kanye always brings up. He is concentrating on more important things to do, according to the source.

    JAY-Z recently welcomed twins with his wife Beyonce and the twins seem to have become JAY-Z’s new agenda. He is responsible for changing the diapers of the two babies. The twins named Rumi and Sir were born prematurely and experienced some minor health problems at the hospital.

    Kanya West Quits Tidal Amid Beef with Jay Z

    American rapper Kanye West and Hip Hop mogul JayZ relationship seems to be less than rossy at this point as the stars are believed to not be on good terms in recent times. Yeezy and JayZ who released a joint album together in the past titled “watch the throne” had disagreements over Kanye’s involvement in the music streaming website ‘tidal’ formerly owned by jayz before he sold the business earlier this year.

    The relationship between the two rape moguls has gone sour since Kim Kardashian got back from Paris after attack. The stars relationship has been on a steady decline ever since with allegations of infighting and dispute over terms of contract involving the two stars.

    The dispute was escalated when JAY dropped 4:44 on June 30 and he went at Kanye in one of the songs on the album. Lines in the song were directed at Jay’s dissatisfaction with their relationship. This reportedly infuriated Kanye who Quit Tidal after this. There are also reports that Kanye is not hoping to sign any exclusive music streaming deal anytime in the future.

    The Tidal angle is however not new as Kanye has complained in the past as to the quality of service he got from the music streaming site. After the release of his album “The Life of Pablo” last year Kanye’s deal with Tidal ensures that the album was exclusive to the site for one and half months, this according to Kanye is the reason for the record’s abysmal sales. Kanye also alleged that Jay owed him 3 million dollars from the sale of his album on the site.

    A source close to Kanye explained that the rapper and husband of media celebrity Kim Kardashian would be releasing all his future material on multiple website to boost sales. Whether or not this was what led to Kanye’s negative review is dodgy as the star has not been firing on all cylinders in the music market for quite some time.

    Jay Z recently released album reveals some details about the Brooklyn rapper’s personal life. Most importantly, is the fact that he cheated on his wife more than once. A revelation that has given the bee hives a lot to talk about in the past few days.
