Never doesn't really mean never. 

Despite the fact that Kanye West said his seventh studio album The Life of Pablo will only ever be available to stream on TIDAL, it seems that, like the album itself, Kanye is open to making changes.

"Famous" and "I Love Kanye" are already available on services other than TIDAL including Spotify, Apple Music, Rhapsody, and the just-launched Soundcloud Go. 

Now Mashable has learned that the entire album is expected to be released to other streaming services including Spotify, Apple Music, Rhapsody, and Google Play on Friday. 

No word yet on whether it will also be available on Soundcloud Go, but considering that two tracks are already there, it wouldn't be surprising. 

The rapper initially said that his seventh studio album would "never never never" be on Apple and that "You can only get it on TIDAL." 

The Life of Pablo was streamed 250 million times on Tidal in its first 10 days alone. A representative for Tidal did not respond to Mashable's request for comment.
