SEND IT UP! Kanye West’s “Yeezus” Goes Platinum (DETAILS)
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!
