APPLE MUSIC TEAMS WITH CASH MONEY

In case Apple Music hasn't twisted everyone's panties into a wad enough over Frank Ocean, a cryptic Instagram post caused many industry news sources—namely, Billboard—to believe that the music service had embarked on a deal that could mean that a host of other exclusives would be coming down the pike. The pic (embedded here) features Head of Content Larry Jackson with Cash Money CEO Birdman. And those assertions are incorrect.

Apart from Drake, who already had the biggest Apple exclusive yet, Cash Money's roster, of course, includes Nicki Minaj, Lil Wayne, Tyga and Rich Gang, among others, so we do recognize what got tongues wagging so quickly and so recklessly.

And we know The Bible uses terms like “inside sources” and “newsworthy” rather loosely, but basing such claims on an Instagram post is a bit of a stretch. Although said post comes hot on the heels of several new deals Jackson has brokered for the service, including Chance the Rapper's Coloring Book album exclusive, along with the long-anticipated Boys Don't Cry release with Frank Ocean and a new Beats 1 show with rising hip-hop superstar Travis Scott called the .Wav Radio Show, this partnership is totally different.

This is about a one-off documentary, which will focus on Birdman's life before he and Slim started the label. Cash Money’s roster and records will not be affected. Class dismissed.
