Kanye West is being sued alongside Jay Z!! See Why!!!

It was the announcement that got his fans pulling out their credit cards. But now Kanye West is being sued for allegedly tricking fans into signing up for his friend Jay Z's Tidal streaming service by saying his latest album would only be available there.

In fact The Life Of Pablo was soon also available on iTunes, rival streaming service Spotify, Google Play and even on his own personal website.

Back in February the rapper tweeted out: 'My album will never never never be on Apple. And it will never be for sale... You can only get it on Tidal.'
According to TMZ, the class action lawsuit filed by fan Justin Baker-Rhett claims this announcement caused subscriptions to go through the roof, in effect saving the flopping service.

Not only is Kanye named in the lawsuit, but so is self-styled media mogul Jay Z's company Carter Enterprises and Tidal itself.

The plaintiff is also alleging two million other fans of the Stronger star were gullible enough to buy subscriptions based on the entertainer's tweet.
