He said: ‘I feel like I’m back at SOB’s performing Jesus Walks. I walked away from Apple right after having the most number 1’s in Apple history. Song Writers have been really hurt by streaming platforms.
‘Some say I’m the only one who can make this change. So as the leading innovator in music of the past 20 years. I’m putting my own work on the line to change it. I’ve already won by not being afraid to move.
‘Now we’re winning because there are true supporters that have invested their hard earned money in my vision of freedom. I love and appreciate everyone who believes my promise of creating a brighter future.’
