Mr. Carter has a lot of celebrating to do.
Not only is his twelfth studio album officially platinum, but his artist J. Cole’s sophomore effort has gone number one in its third week on the charts.
Yesterday, Jay-Z stopped by Hot 97 to talk to longtime friend Angie Martinez about his strategy behind promoting his new album, Dame Dash, Blue Ivy, Miley Cyrus, and reading blogs.
Despite Billboard’s decision not to honor the one million copies Samsung bought on behalf of their Magna Carta promotion, the RIAA honored Jay-Z’s digital sales and presented him his platinum plaque yesterday afternoon.
While the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) presented Jay with an elaborate plaque, Beyonce honored her hubby with a funny picture of Jay-Z as a child with the words “bow down” written across the bottom.
Jay-Z is currently gearing up to hit the road on his collaborative “Legends Of The Summer” tour with Justin Timberlake.
Congrats Hov!
