Kanye And Jay Z Won't Make Second Album Due To Apple/Tidal Feud

The prospect of Kanye West and Jay Z collaborating on another album appears to be nothing more than a beautiful, dark, twisted fantasy.

West unleashed a fuming rant at his Seattle concert Wednesday, blaming the dispute between streaming services Apple Music and Tidal — which is owned by Jay Z — as the reason why the two rappers will never release a follow-up to their 2011 album together, "Watch The Throne."

During the onstage outburst, West explained that he and Jay Z were originally supposed to be featured on Drake's song "Pop Style," but their version never made it to the "Views" album since it was an Apple exclusive.

"There will never be a 'Watch The Throne 2.' You know why? Because that's the reason why I wasn't on the song," Kanye told the audience.

"I wasn't on the song because of Hov (Jay Z) because of some Tidal/Apple bulls--t ... So y'all didn't get, what y'all was supposed to get with me and Drake on this song because of some Tidal/Apple bulls--t."

West, 39, suggested Jay Z originally had trepidation in joining the track since Drake's noted nemeses Meek Mill, is signed to his Roc Nation label.

But that wasn't what ruined their cameo on the song, West claimed.

"It went out of that territory and went into some Tidal, some s--t, some political s--t, some s--t about percentages on songs," West lamented. "I can't take this s--t, bro!"

West is a co-owner of Tidal and released his most recent album, "The Life of Pablo," on the streaming service in February. The acclaimed project is still not available for purchase on iTunes, aside from a pair of singles, "Famous" and "Fade."

West, who performs his verse on "Pop Style" at every show on his ongoing "Saint Pablo Tour," teased over the summer that he's working on music with Drake.
