Digital Music News thinks Jay-Z?s tour isn?t going so well. Billboard is calling that same tour a wild success.
Which version is correct?
Now, Jay-Z is threatening legal action against Digital Music News if we don?t rip down our analysis of his ?4:44? tour. In fact, his attorney says that Billboard?s coverage proves that our coverage is not only factually incorrect, but defamatory.
Here?s the letter that Jay-Z?s attorney emailed us this morning (yeah, it seriously starts with ?Dear Sir/Madam??)
Quote?Dear Sir/Madam
This office serves as legal Counsel to Shawn (JAY-Z) Carter. We are writing in connection with the following article. https://www.digitalmusicnews.com/2017/11/03/jay-z-444-tour-disaster/
Both the headline and content of this article is false. I am attaching a link for a billboard article which contains more accurate facts regarding 4:44 tour sales.

Please forgive any typographical errors in this informal email transmission delivered by phone.
We ask that you confirm receipt and that you are taking action immediately. My client?s rights and claims against you are reserved.
Thank you,
