The company reportedly has just six months of working capital left, despite Sprint purchasing a 33 per cent stake in Tidal at the start of the year, which Jay Z's business partner and Roc Nation Sports president Juan Perez said would last 12 to 18 months.

Jay Z has three children with wife Beyonce; Blue Ivy, five, and twins Rumi and Sir, born on June 13.
