why jay-z is a hero

Okay, he may have sort of admitted on his latest album that he indeed couldn't keep his hands to himself, but there is still something about him that gives him bonus points for being a cool guy. We all know TIDAL, the streaming service like Spotify from JAY? Right now there may be some drama going on between JAY-Z, Kanye, and TIDAL (something about Kanye still getting money or something, I don't know the details), but JAY is super loyal to his own service and is still nowhere to be found or Spotify. And do you know what he's missing out on? One million dollars a week!

 
I kid you not. Billboard has made some sort of calculation of how popular his album is (because 4:44 is being received quite well) and how much you approximately earn per stream per song. Based on the popularity of his new album, they assume it is played as often as the current number 1 song on Spotify (the Despacito remix with Justin Bieber). So that JAY, he is simply missing out on one million dollars a week. Is JAY-Z greedy? Well, apparently not at all.
