The hatred for Black Americans is so strong, some Nigerians have stopped operating off of logic, entirely.

Why propagate acrimony among Black Americans & Africans? Your tweets are not even alignment w/the artist you’re supporting.
@burnaboy is a Pan-Africanist. He believes in unity among all Blacks.
If it weren’t for Black America’s Hip Hop, Burna & Wizkid wouldn’t have careers.

.@burnaboy helped @Diddy? Diddy’s personal net worth is higher than Nigeria’s national GDP.
@wizkidayo’s helped @Beyonce & @Drake? How exactly? Beyoncé and Drake’s combined global sales is nearly $400 million. What kind of logic are you operating off of?

You don’t live to know but you’re attempting to box with Black media/entertainment insiders who do know? Godspeed, Adam Knows.
Tidal’s board of directors of music artists who are a part of America’s 1 percent does not help Black recruitment & retention pipeline, which deeply impacts Black economic power & advancement.
You are a tech & entertainment layperson. You also don’t read. Jay Z is still the majority owner of Tidal. Roc Nation runs Tidal. Tidal’s CEO reports to Desiree, CEO of RN. Jay sold 33% of his stake to Sprint, which makes him majority owner. Read the link you posted.
Adam, once again your intel is inaccurate. Sprint does not own Tidal—they only have a 33% share, which means Tidal is still majority Black-owned by Shawn Carter. techcrunch.com/2017/01/23/sp…
Oh be clear—we do not. It’s equally problematic for you to be on Twitter reprimanding Black folk who are calling Jay out for his hypocrisy when your intel is inaccurate. If Bey can have a virtually all-Black staff at Parkwood, so can Jay. Bey’s COO & GM are also Black.
They even have a white man running digital marketing. Do you know how many qualified & talented Black folks in NYC are experts in digital marketing w/music & app experience?
How we lose battles is not having authentic intel of what’s going on & you evidently don’t. I know your name is Adam Knows but seemingly Adam does not know about Tidal’s all-white exec team. Check LinkedIn. CEO, COO, SVP, VPs are NOT Black.
I’m referring to Tidal’s NY office which is their HQ & has been for sometime. Also where I live. It’s widely known they don’t have Black execs. Black in US is 13.4% & NYC is 23.4%. There’s an even larger pop of Black industry execs. Jay has no excuse. census.gov/quickfacts/newyor…

Tidal does not hire Black leaders. Whole executive team are white men. Yes, right here in their NYC office. Not a single Black senior leader. Meanwhile Bey has virtually an all Black staff at Parkwood. Bey walks walk. Shawn does not.

There are 0 Black decision makers at Tidal. CEO, COO, SVPs, VPs are all NOT Black. Not a single Black person in any leadership role. Just check LinkedIn. Demonstrated commitment to Black people is hiring Black at the top. Tidal does not.

You’re right. There are 0 Black decision makers at Tidal. CEO, COO, SVPs, VPs are all NOT Black. Not a single Black person in any leadership role. Just check LinkedIn. Demonstrated commitment of Black investment is hiring Black at the top. Tidal does not.
