Kanye West’s polarizing album Yeezus finally goes platinum, with over one million copies sold.
The RIAA congratulated the “Black Skinhead” rapper on Twitter:
Congratulations to @kanyewest on his 7th @RIAA #Platinum album award for ‘Yeezus” – he’s 7 for 7! W @DefJamRecords
— RIAA (@RIAA) January 15, 2014
Despite the milestone, Kanye is battling allegations that he assaulted an 18-year-old teenager who called Kim Kardashian a “n*gger lover.” No charges have been filed against the 36-year-old rapper, but Kim Kardashian is expected to file a report.
In other Kanye West news, on the eve of Valentine’s Day, Kanye will embark on the second leg of his “Yeezus” tour on February 13.
Congrats Ye!
