Late Prince record company NPG has filed a law suit against Jay-Z,and Tidal streaming service over the use of his songs.
Jay-Z streaming service company has been illegally streaming all Prince song since June 2016 according to TMZ reports.
However, before Prince's death, an agreement between NPG Records, which represents the late Purple Rain hit-maker, and Jay-Z's Roc Nation agreed that Tidal could stream one album.
Permission was given to Tidal to stream 'Hit N Run: Phase 1', which was the last album Prince ever recorded, according to court documents.
However, NPG claims Roc Nation took this to mean it could stream all of the singer's music but the record label disputes this.
NPG claims this was never authorized but Roc Nation says it has 'oral and written' permission, although it has yet to produce the material, according to Rollingstone
