Jay Z is continuing to solidify his goat status after earning his 13th platinum project. Jay Z’s “4:44,” released on Thursday, June 29, has achieved RIAA platinum certification in less than a week.
Jay Z posted a photo of himself with his platinum plaque with RIAA Chairman and CEO Cary Sherman.
“Props to JAY, he’s done it again!” Sherman said in a statement. “Another Platinum albums adds to an already iconic career.”
Jay’s deal with Sprint lead to his platinum status.
