Music-streaming service Tidal

Apple 'considering takeover' of Jay Z's streaming service Tidal

The company is reportedly exploring the idea of buying Tidal because of its strong ties to big artists like Kanye West and Madonna.

Sources have told the Wall Street Journal that "exploratory talks" are taking place and may lead to a deal being done.

A Tidal spokesman has denied that it has discussed a deal with Apple.

Jay Z launched the service in March last year as a rival to Spotify.
