Jaguar Wright, the outspoken R&B singer known for her explosive industry revelations, has once again sent shockwaves through the music world. This time, she claims to have inside knowledge of why the legendary Prince distanced himself from Jay-Z and Diddy, two of the biggest names in hip-hop.
Prince’s Battle Against the Music Industry
To understand why Prince allegedly turned his back on these hip-hop moguls, we need to revisit his long-standing battle with the music industry. Prince was famous for his fierce independence, publicly fighting against record labels and advocating for artists’ rights. He even changed his name to an unpronounceable symbol to protest Warner Bros. controlling his music.
Jay-Z and Diddy, on the other hand, built their empires through business deals that aligned with major corporations. While Jay-Z’s Roc Nation and Diddy’s Bad Boy Records have dominated the industry, they’ve also partnered with brands that Prince openly criticized. Jaguar Wright suggests that this fundamental difference in philosophy may have been a major reason for the rift.
Jay-Z and Prince: A Collapsed Business Deal?
One of the biggest turning points came in 2015 when Jay-Z’s streaming platform, TIDAL, attempted to secure exclusive rights to Prince’s music. Initially, Prince supported the idea of artist-owned platforms and even allowed his catalog on TIDAL. However, things quickly soured.
Reports suggest that Prince grew uncomfortable with the way TIDAL handled contracts and royalties. He ultimately removed his music from most streaming platforms before his tragic passing in 2016. Jaguar Wright hints that Prince saw Jay-Z’s platform as another corporate machine disguised as a pro-artist initiative. If true, this would have reinforced Prince’s belief that Jay-Z wasn’t truly fighting for artistic freedom.
Diddy and the Dark Side of the Industry
Jaguar Wright has made multiple allegations against Diddy in the past, accusing him of being part of a toxic system that exploits artists. Prince, known for his spiritual beliefs and disdain for industry politics, would likely have been wary of Diddy’s close ties to record labels and corporate executives.
Wright claims that Prince saw through the glamorous image that Diddy projected and recognized the industry’s darker side. If Prince distanced himself from Diddy, it wouldn’t be surprising—he had a reputation for cutting ties with those who didn’t align with his vision of artistic integrity.
