The streaming wars’ waters have been very still gently down the stream.
But when Lil’ Wayne’s Lil Weezyana Fest a hurricane Katrina Benefit concert in New Orleans streamed [exclusively on Tidal], Apple threatened Tidal with a good time—should Drake Lil’ Wayne’s label mate (who too, performed for the benefit) be shown during any part of Tidal’s exclusive.
Instead, throughout the time Drake performed “HYFR,” “Know Yourself,” and his Meek diss: “Back to Back” and “Woes”)

…Tidal was forced to drop one these:

…this was what you saw when Drake performed:
They got real political and conspiracy ‘theorical’ on didn’t they? LoL.
On the flip side of all’a’dat still, the two-hour show went on.
Weezy performed his hit’s “A Milli,” Georgia Bush,” “Steady Mobbin’” and my classic fave: “Go DJ.” (ßTHIS was the moment and song that made me know “Lil Wayne”-the baby of the bunch-was comin’ through. I knew it. When THIS song came out… I KNEW he was really ready! Then “Tha Carter III” sealed it)
What’s taking it back home without taking to the stage with his homeboys with whom he started this whole thing with: the “Hotboys.”
As well, Wayne extended his hospitality ‘round the way to Master P (No Limit Soldiers/ Mia X/Mystikal and Silkk The Shocker).

Master P is a New Orleans native and fave that took over the rap music scene in the mid 1990s. The Hotboys took it over from there in the late 90s-early 2000s.
Although former “Hot Boys” member B.G is currently serving a 14 year prison sentence, his mom was in attendance on his behalf.
“I know. I know. I know” …they DID: Yes. Juvenile, Turk, and Mannie Fresh performed:
