Jay Z offered $40 million for the rights to Prince’s unreleased music

Money ain't a thing to Jay Z — which is probably why he's willing to break the bank to acquire Prince's unreleased music.

The hip-hop mogul offered approximately $40 million for the rights to the never-before-heard tunes that were discovered at Prince's famed Paisley Park home and recording studio after his April death, TMZ reports.

Jay Z, 46, reportedly jetted the Purple One's sister Tyka — Prince’s only full sibling — and her husband to New York a few weeks ago to discuss the prospects of purchasing the highly sought after music.

Tyka, however, doesn't have full say. She'd have to get the approval of Prince's half-brothers and sisters, as well as the trust that is currently running the musician's lofty estate, before she can turn over the rights to the music to someone else, according to the celebrity gossip site.
