“Behind every great man there is a great woman.”
If the aphorism above is anything to go by, Hip-Hop mogul Jay Z is in luck.
For, he’s assembled four of music’s greatest women to support him in his latest business venture, securing their support at a secret meeting held at a remote event space in Pasadena.
Full story below…
Days before this year’s Grammy Awards, Jay arrived at Los Angeles’ The Fig House to chair a meeting designed to help him in his bid to crush “crass commercialisation” with Aspiro, the Swedish music streaming service he recently purchased for $54 million.
There, Beyonce, Madonna, Nicki Minaj & Rihanna joined two members of Daft Punk, Kanye West, Jack White and Coldplay‘s Chris Martin to share their thoughts on the venture and weigh in on the current state of music streaming with the ‘Blueprint’ creator.
Jay’s purchase was confirmed by the company’s stake holders last week, and now sees him forced to compete with the likes of Spotify and Beats Music, giants in the field the rapper now finds himself playing in.
Indeed, 2014’s third quarter saw Aspiro’s music streaming service WiMP reveal that it had 512,000 paying users, currently unable to match the 15 million paying users Spotify could boast of having by the end of January 2015.
Industry insiders reveal that the service (now named TidalHifi) will need major investments if it is to compete with the aforementioned companies, hence his decision to harvest support from the ladies.
Reports reveal all four of them agreed that artists should be involved in editing and curating their material on the service, all pledging their allegiance to the rapper’s rising empire.

Can’t Knock The Hustle!!
I rock Jay and BEY TOUGH and if this is true it’s great but ONE QUESTION?? HOW IS THIS A SECRET MEETING IF TGJ IS REPORTING IT???! Lol
You dumb b****. It was a secret at the time. Besides we all know King David works for roc so I knew it was legit from the jump.
I think the meeting took place before the grammy’s and they’re only leaking it now
Glad no Gaga. She is a scam. Her dwindling career, low ticket sales and CDs plus… her fake Twitter followers.
Everyone knows that…..
🙁
Illuminati honey
Beyonce is dump so why is she there?
I wonder if Jay was begging his 2 slüts to do a record together. Glad Gaga wasn’t there.
Gaga wasnt invited my dear. Beyonce isn’t about that attention seeking life.
Lies beyonce is a fame w h o r e
I’m sure when .J. & .B. Do their album together nick minaj going to be a feature
Rihanna was probably drunk.
Jay Z had to sign both Beyonce and Rihanna’s contracts cuz them heifers can’t read.
Lmao
LMAOO
SCREAMINGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!
Jay Z copied Biggie and P Diddy just like them hoez copied Lil Kim TADOW!
Who is lil kim? Is it that asian midget that’s obsessed with Nicki Minaj?
I’m more interested in seeing what Diddy has up his sleeve with the Queen of Rap Lil’ Kim. They got some FIRE coming. Diddy is greater than Jay-Z as a businessman.
This just confirms Bey and Gaga aren’t cool. WHere was her invite?
Shawn’s just being diplomatic. Everyone knows Gaga doesn’t fvck with Madge and vice versa, so I doubt they would want to be in an intimate meeting together
Gaga is above them it doesn’t matter if they didn’t invite her.
where is queen Britney in this meeting? She’s more important than Beyonce and Nicky Minaj
They wanted good ideas not cupcake recipes.
They wanted good ideas not crack recipes
Lil Kim wasnt invited because they did not want plastic surgery tips
They didn’t want Chinese takeaway either.
Or the number for a good ghostwriter.
Iggy wasn’t invited because they want to surround themselves with talent
If Nicki Minaj was there, Lil Kim was there boo boo. You betta get yo mind right. Carbon copy asz b^tches
are you trying to say that Lil Kim wasn’t invited because Nicki Minaj replaced her as Queen of rap? That is do true tbh, Lil Kim’s washed up and ain’t no soap involved
Lil Kim tried to get in but the way North Koreas security is set up…
@Iggy LMAO!!!!
@eve SCREAMS!!! you a mess!!
Lmfaoo yall hoez killed me with that North Korea comment *surrenders life for a min*
The only replacement that Stinkpussynika needs to be concerned about is swapping the silicone out of her asś and tittties, before they explode and start leaking into her body.
Picture a dumb stink pussÿ bitçh like HOnika trying to replace the legendary Queen Bitćh of Rap Kimmy Blanco Lil’ Kim. Fuçk outta here! Kim will forever be QUEEN OF RAP!
If they wanted the number of a good ghostwriter, I’m sure HOnika Garbaj still has Safaree’s number on speed dial. The Queen of Rap Lil’ Kim writes her own s***. She has written in front of people. Stinkpusssynika has never written in front of anyone be because the ho can’t write shít.
He probably asked them for money.
I doubt Rihanna had anything productive to add.
And bey did? Everyone knows she is a fifth grade dropout. If her entourage of qu33rs weren’t with her I’m sure she was silent.
The holy trinity and the mother of pop music 🙂
I know 25 things he can do to make that service better!
Jay Z’s business ventures never have any longevity like Diddy and others.
What bout their biggest business ventures so far .I.E: RocNation vs. Bad Boy? Now sure Bad Boy’s artists were more talented and incomporable, but surely RocNation has made more money in the long run? correct me if i’m wrong, I’m genuinely interested
*incomparable
But Diddy is still richer thanks to Ciroc and other ventures LOL.
Why wasn’t Gaga there I thought her and Thief were BFFS? Smh can’t trust Bey ask Letoya and Latriva.
Beyonce was never best friend with gaga the f***? Beyonce don’t do fake hollywood friendship the only girl she can call friend beside kelly is gwyneth Paltrow
you shithive have yall head so up far beyonce’s ass it’s not even funny.
Why wasn’t FLOPNASHE there???? Probably because they did not want anyone who sells less than 100k first week…LOL
You can ask them and like time and time again they will say their beef was never with Beyoncé nor Kelly…just management…#CarryOn
b******* and you know it f****
Im sure Rihanna was somewhere sucking jay off in the cut.
Jay Z and Beyonce better be Lucious and Cookie Lyon
Girl stop Lucious and Cookie are not goals. Cookie Lyons is def goals on her own
The Iggy’s must be seething, he can’t sit at the cool table and the great escape from relevancy tour is about to be cancelled HAHA!!!! And we thought Ke¢hup stain’s career was short XD
The Carters are snakes I stopped f****** with them years ago. I could careless if they didn’t invite Gaga im sure she had better things to do anyway.
“The Carters are snakes I stopped f****** with them years ago” oh so you used to be friends with them? tell us about it please
I obviously don’t but its so clear you can’t trust them. That’s why im happy Gaga began distancing herself from Beyfakeyonce.
How did you know Gaga distanced herself when they were never besties in the first place?
You could care less, but yet you’re still seething VOMITGA was not invited..LOL
Oh please im not seething but Beyonce clearly has chosen sides she’s very fake and not to be trusted. Alot of monsters have been clocking Beyonce for being the fake b**** that she is. Like now she’s so cool with Madonna and Nicki? Lol what a joke.
Im glad you Monsters are acting like you know her personally. None of them are close friends. It is called business. Beyonce is not the one falling out with her managers, industry peers and lying about how much her last album sold.
AGAIN..WHY ARE AU PRESSED PUKEGA WAS NOT INVITED???????LOL
You stopped f****** with THEM? How? They never knew you.
I’m here for Nicki, Madonna and Rihanna. As for Jay Z’s flopping serial plagiarist prostïtute of a wife, I… I have no words. Trash doesn’t begin to describe this (wo)man. She’s a drag queen. She’s always giving me Jerry Springer “I was born a man” Teas. 😆
AGAIN YOU ARE GIVING ME MARK DAVID CHAPMAN TEASE…WHEN OBSESSION TURNS TOO CRAZINESS. LEAVE BEY ALONE, DID SHE F*** YOUR BOYFRIEND OR NAH??? BUT I BET YOU’RE A LONELY FAT F**** WITH 30 CATS ANYWAY..LOL
You are a disgusting human being . Does it make u fell any good to write all those trash?
Like you are one to talk b****. Go fire a bullet in your brain.
Stand for talente go to hale ogly hatemongers go away you seething because you wish you are bey
HOnika Garbaj is the biggest prostitute of them all. The girl sucked Wayne’s dïck for a Young Money contract!
David was at the front door trying to get Rita inside.
LOL now ain’t that the truth
No girl. He was at rocs offices hacking into their computers and adding a few extra zeros to her budget.
Spotify will be hard to beat…
Especially since Lil Kim’s savvy isn’t involved. *sips honey*
*Sips honey*? Can you not afford the tea as well? Better go hack Kim’s PayPal account.
@The Elusive Obtuse,
Quit asking stupid asz questions you tried it. Maybe Mooriah should use honey instead of them sugar cubes they toss her at the stable.
And maybe Kim should turn the general tso chicken when she’s restocking the buffet. All that plastic surgery, yet still looking like a retired linebacker. Poor Lil’ Ming… stay piggybacking off of Nicki just to eat. Fat b****.
The Queen of Rap is still eating off hee shît from 1997. Lil’ Kim doesn’t need a stink pussÿ ho like HOnika to eat. Fuçk outta here!
Where is the King’s diamond album. Hopefully her master will get her one with those bonus streaming points. The self-titled overrated bullshït hasn’t crossed even 4M. LOL
PRESSED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL. GET A JOB FOOL.
Rihanna will properly cross 300M by 2020. Beytchonce is still stalled at less than 250M. She’s so un-iconic. It must hurt the b*****.
*150M. I meant 150M. LOL
You have a f^cking grammar deficiency. Keep trying boo. But I do agree that Thiefoncé is a two sticks short of iconic. Lil Kim thee ONLY Queen Bey is the one who should be getting credit. She needs to steal Nikke’s or however u spell her name idk but Kim needs to get that broad’s legal team.
LMAO lilkim is a Queen Bey? I thot kim was queen bee?
Wonder ponder
Illuminati meeting….
Why wasn’t Taylor invited???
Oh the nepotism. The Cutters really are thieves.
Why wasn’t Taylor invited????
Or Katy???
Or Mariah, f****** hate them
Lol why would anyone invite Moo?
@MDNA The same reason why they invited Madagascar.
“Is pigs flying? Is these b****** trying me? They think it’s sweet? Oh these b****** got diabetes” *puts on reading glasses* Rihanna’s at the top of the food chain sweetheart. Pork shall be on the menu tonight. You can be a p** and get fatter(or lose your voice lol) or be a hog & get slaughtered.
Yawn. Reading that was like watching your fav live. You can say piggy and etc all you need to, but we all can see your multiple chins through your anonymous avi. I tracked your IP and found out you were in fat camp when you were a child, so please don’t make me expose you, the way your fav exposes her talent is nonexistent every time she walks on that stage. PS ‘Top of the food chain’?? Her checks go directly in Beyoncé’s bank account, so please _/
What bulletless gun are hiding? Thinking you have a shot lol
Gurl I wish your wigs were as pressed and permanent as you are. You’re simply unfortunate, uneducated, unknown, unappreciative, uncircumcised, unimportant, just unworthy of my presence. You’re simply like your sexx position, the bottom(with your fave). This is the last bone I’ll toss your way. And like the good little lap dog you are, you’ll catch it and reply. Goodbye
Lol Mariah gurlll?? What would that has been voice less cow bring to the table?
A banana boat goat fan can’t shade vocals honey bun.
What vocals lol??? Take a sit and a number with the rest of the b****** standing in line to claim their NayvOrDie IDGAF insurance claim. We’re done here.
“What vocals?” I ask myself the same question every time Roadrunner waltz on the stage doing the p**** pat “dance”. Learn to STFU bc if you didn’t give a f***, your comment would be as nonexistent as your Mother’s stretched, worn, and toxic walls. We are done here. #CareyOn
Lmao what could retardyonce add to this? Everyone knows she’s illiterate
The irony, seeing as how your retarded looking ugly ass stans for Rihanna.
Interesting.
And she’s a terrible terrible actor too.
im guessing ur talking about Beyonce… since she’s the only person u talk about. It’s sad u don’t even stan for anyone, instead u spend ur days on here hating on someone. Its funny cuz ur making that b**** more relevant by repeatedly talking about her.
Interesting. It sounds great on paper, so we’ll see what the future holds.
They didn’t invite Gaga or Tinashe? No wonder why their stans are seething.
I’m interested to see how this business centre goes, I mean he really has big names behind him and that is only going to bring in some serious investors. I wish them all the best of luck. Although I do have to say I hate the name of the company.
I see all the Lessors are here hating as always
Where’s Kim, where’s Iggy? Oh yes, ones attempting to grow crops of relevance using the Nicki’s name as fertilizer and the other is in the stocks for a blasphemous court jester performance. Meanwhile the queen is meeting with royalty from the different lands of the pop continent 🙂
Lil boy hold your horses. Nikke Munej wishes she was Lil Kim. Stop your trolling cuz that’s all u do.
Wishes she was Lil Kim?? Sweetie if she wanted to slay PayPal charts she would’ve a long time ago but she doesn’t need to embarrass your fave anymore cuz it already does a fanatic job of that itself
If you’re gonna troll boo, give us something that will be interesting. Who had their mixtape named Black Friday??? Who has to cling to Nicki in order to be relevant. Chawld sit, Nicki could but Kim’s life and hand it back to her. You need to direct your energy to your scarecrow looking fave to come back with an album that will slay, and no, PayPal doesn’t count sweetheart.
*buy
Queen of Rap Lil’ Kim had a career while HOnika was still getting arrested for shoplifting and prostitution in Queens. Fućk outta here.
Wow! That Carter empire has potential to get even bigger. Great backing. No wonder the trolls are mad.
Where was P!nks invite?
It was a secret reunion not a circus act
No one wants Gaga there. Way too pretentious. What advice can she give? How to cheat your way to 1 million sold first week or how to have one of the biggest declines in history?
B**** sit with your failed shade. An “illiterate” person isn’t sitting on a $400 million net worth. Don’t you have a flop graveyard radio show to host?? Shoo shoo outta here f**, your 5 obese fat overweight listener’s are waiting for you. Be gone hussy.
@matt phoenix. Don’t try me tonight boo. I’ll read til Jesus comes back. Retreat while you’re ahead.
*you
I hope Jay Z takes his company public. I really do like him and his music. It’s his whóre of a wife that annoys tf outta me.
Gurl Beyoncé should write you a check, the way you can’t stop talking about her.
And Rihannas head is so ugly and distracting in that picture.
Why wasn’t shakira invited????
Human only no goat allowed
lmao…
There was a lot of industry f**king taking place ng during this meeting~
Why wasn’t Adele invited huh???
Not enough food
Should be interesting, I wish I was a fly on the wall if this so called meeting was confirmed. But then again, David wrote the story and 90% of the time, he has receipts.
Can’t wait to see what comes of this TBH.
Too much epic in one room lol
Jay & B are always about making change happen! Bonnie & Clyde!!! It’s great having these kind of leaders in the industry! Glad to see Onika and Rihanna down for the cause. I hope this goes much further than this and allow artists to really take back their power!
Biitch!
Go seek help at one of your local mental facilities. Don’t allow the Carters to make you lose your fight against depression!
“TidalHifi”
Hopefully this is just a working title because they have no chance of coming for Spotify with that ugly name.
The DEATH of the music industry is upon us…
The DEATH of Mariah’s career tho……..
Spotify aint going nowhere, They not even worried.
And let the future of music unfold….. Gaga is gonna be bitter she wasn’t invited…hopefully that will push her to do better
Gaga needs to jump on a track with the Queen of Rap Lil’ Kim. I know they’d serve some iconic s****! Fućk these stink pusśy, swagger jacking h***!
False…all them bosses are infront of jay z…get it right
Why wasn’t lana invited?
Who?
Lmao death
I don’t know, what about F***? Was she too busy sucking Tony Bennett’s shriveled 89 year old d*** (for #credibility) to attend?
WW sales: @taylorswift13, “1989” 89,000 (6,595,000 total).
QUEEN
When will Beyonce?
When will she what? You b****** can’t even troll, always the same s***, just a different username. I suggest you step your pusssy up honey, get a job, own a business, bittch suck a diick.
cool.
How about Jay just needed some insight from like the top sellers in the damn world. And also some fans bcuz from what I’m reading under these topics every day y’all go hard for your favs. Like I’m hoping all of u know that the best part of tgj is your comments. Ctfu y’all the best
I don’t kno if that was a wise investment spotify is a monster. I don’t see competition
Taylor wasn’t invited because they want to have success outside of the USA
She’s sold 2 million outside of USA, which In this day and age is great! But do try again… Actually don’t cause you’ll just fail .. Again
