Prince’s Music Still An Issue In Court

It’s been more than seven months since superstar Prince died, but even after his death his music continues to make noise.

Roc Nation, the entertainment company founded by rapper Jay Z, tried and failed to get chosen to manage Prince’s musical assets in the weeks after his death, according to the Associated Press.

A dispute between Prince’s record company and Jay Z’s music streaming service, Tidal, is playing out in state and federal court in Minnesota. The issue is whether or not Tidal had permission to feature Prince’s music.

A closed hearing is set for Thursday.
