Naturally, many of Triple X's fans have already expressed excitement over the "Changes" follow-up. Their first collaboration was ultimately chosen as one of ?'s lead singles, and has since hit platinum status. For PnB, the accomplishment was a bittersweet one, as it occurred mere days after X's death.
"Just found out me and bro went “Platinum” wit this record," wrote PnB, two days removed from X's passing. "It’s not even the same tho because i didn’t get a feelin of happiness when i heard but instead i just cried because we ain’t even get to share our moment together." Look for TrapStar Turnt PopStar, coming soon.
