Jay Z catches lots of criticism for his ALL white Tidal staff

Jay-Z is being criticized for having an ALL white staff at their Tidal office, especially after guilt tripping the black community for not supporting his service.

The criticism on the internet poured in  after Beyonce posted a photo of herself and Jay Z posing with the Tidal staff while on a recent trip to the head offices in Norway.

Jay Z and Beyonce were noticeably the only Black people in the shot…which many found interesting after his race based rant.

Some of the comments on the Internet are:

"Jay tried to guilt trip us ... but his staff are all white"

"Jay does a 'Pro-Black' freestyle but then releases a picture of #Tidal's all White staff."

"Those who complain of no blacks in white owned institutions. Well here u go Jay Z OWNS TIDAL. U going to protest?"

"Jay ain't hiring u n***as"
'Jay-Z released a whole freestyle about how black people don't support each other but look at his Tidal staff.'

They should let the young entrepreneur be.
Many people are bent on seeing Tidal fail, but it won't happen.
Viva la Hova.

Blacks are the real racist. We do it all the time.cant just leave color outta it.always feel intimidated.if its a white guy getting a all black staff then its cool,they dont even want to know if they got asian or arabs in the pics as far as they are light skinned they are all white.african Americans have a problem they should try and get over if they really want to move on.

Just goes to show how ignorant people are...so if the offices are in Norway. Do you live in Norway to get hired at the head quarters?

Agh..you can't blame Jay. Black people always run things down. Look at most African countries compared to SA

I have never seen racist like blacks esp in America. They shout racism pass but their own worst pass. How would he employ you when you are only a qualified gangster. This is business and no sentiments! Blah blah blah!

Firstly this firm Is located in Norway which has strict immigration rules. They aren't even part of the EU by choice and so I don't expect a lot of foreign staff to be in his payrol in Norway. If this were his office in the states then one can make a point but not in Norway which is an awesome place.

Word tho!!

Jay z is a fool. Tidal wont succeed and for someone always talkin abt blacks havin an all white crew doesn't make sense..spot on..saw d tweet 2days ago

Anyone who criticizes Jay-z for this is either paying little attention or just following the band wagon... either way, that's ignorance.

THIS IS THE HQ AND IT'S IN NORWAY. Did you expect an all-black staff in what is possibly one of the whitest countries in the world???

Secondly, he bought the company. Is he expected to fire the entire staff just so he can replace them with black people

Thirdly, shouldn't you feel at least a little sense of progress seeing a black person at the helm of affairs in a predominantly white establishment???

Unknown said...

How many qualified black people dey Norway?

ary said...

Tidal seems doomed to fail.

I choputas not! Linda take note!

him.....

I thought I was the only one who has ALWAYS felt like jayz and beyonce put up a front, they just seem so fake for some reason.

Anonymous said...

It's ok for Jay-Z to invoke blackness when he wants black people to buy his product but black people can't mention race when they notice he doesn't hire them in his company? Go jump in a lake supporting his hypocrisy. He'd change a lot of lives if he were to sponsor a few work visas for promising young black talent to Norway. There are probably Nigerians in Norway well educated but driving cabs who would benefit from those jobs, as well.

its in Norway for heaven sake. should he manufacture black people and force them into his staff list?

Unknown said...

You've answered your own question regarding a lack of blacks in your own article.
the company is in Norway.
Norway is not in the States.
The black population of Norway is very low...very low indeed.

You are sitting in front of a computer, or at least a device that allows you internet access.
Might I suggest that you do a little bit of "investigation" before posting ill-informed posts like this in the future.

Normally I would support you! I would even argue that hey it's Norway! Not America. How many blacks could they have there (dunno,just saying). But this time I support the backlash! He basically insulted black people for not supporting him! And yet there he goes not supporting black people! Would we care if Apple and Microsoft don't hire black people(knowing us and our need to always play the victim) Yes! But would it hurt as much NO! It's Jay Z. That's the difference. If your gonna sell something,have the receipts to back it up!

It's not like the company's doing well anyways. By all accounts, he was brought in as the company's most public face because it's failing. It wouldn't hurt him to hand out some pink slips and start fresh with a diverse staff. Those white faces have run the company into the ground.

So you're trying to say that people of colour don't have the brains to work in tidal?? N even if there are only 3% of black people in Norway, the whole 3% is so dumb they don't qualify to work there?Considering the fact that he said black people for support their own...Yes, he should be worried that he's staff are all white. People that live in glass houses shouldn't their stones.. It's good to think things through before lashing out!

Thank you Anon 9:50am!!! Gosh! Ignorance!

I was going to say the same thing, myself. What is the black population in NORWAY, anyway?! Ignoramuses just look at images and don't read the text. Sad.

Anonymous said...

How many black people are in NORWAY?! Now how many black people in Norway do you think are qualified to work at TIDAL? Answer that before you accuse a black person of not employing black people in his business that operates from a country as predominantly white as Norway.

Spread Love.

Why is TIDAL based in NORWAY? Maybe Jay Z doesn't have real confidence in African people on a professenial level. Jay Z seems to be in over his head with music streaming. Will he rebound from business failure? If was smart he would work on promoting a fight between his recently signed fighter Andre Ward vs GGG, the east European boxing superstar for Roc Nation. JAY Z paying homage to blackness is self serving a best. His master is the DOLLAR BILL which is losing value everyday. Listen to White Mans World by Tupac. PEACE
