Also, will Apple be one of Jay Z's 99 problems? Apple could come out with its own paid streaming service to challenge Jay Z's Tidal -- which the rapper and business mogul has been defending on Twitter. Tidal has been attacked by critics since it launched less than a month ago. Jay Z tweeted that the streaming service has more than 770,000 subscribers and needs time to grow to take on the competition, like Spotify.
