KANYE WEST & KENDRICK LAMAR'S 'NO MORE PARTIES IN L.A.' GOES PLATINUM

Kanye Westย andKendrick Lamar’sย “No More Parties In L.A.” has officially been certified platinum. The plaque was awarded to Ye on Wednesday (May 4) along with numerous other accolades, including that hisย Watch The Throneย smash “Ni**as In Paris” was now 9x platinum.

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) also awarded the Yeezy mogul a gold plaque for his 2004 track “Family Business.”ย Hitboyย took to Instagram to celebrate hisย Watch The Throneย cut going 9x platinum and wished for one more million.

“1 more million and this will be my second diamond plaque,” he wrote. “Sicko Mode was my first.”

Theย Travis Scottย and Drake collabachieved diamond statusย back in 2020.ย The song has also passed a whopping 1.2 billion streams on Spotify as well as 735 million views of the music video on YouTube.

If “Ni**as In Paris” were to ever achieve diamond status, it would be the second diamond plaque for Kanye West. Def Jam announced last October that “Stronger” hadย been certified diamondby the RIAAย  after surpassing 10 million sales in the U.S., nearly 14 years after it dropped.

“No More Parties In L.A.” was teased as a B-side to “Real Friends” during Kanye’sย Life Of Pabloย rollout in 2016, andย was the first collab between him and K. Dot. The Madlib-produced instrumentalย originated backย to when Kanye was working on what many consider to be his magnum opus,ย My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy.ย Madlib had given Ye five different beats for the project, including this one. The track ultimately didn’t make the cut on the album.
