Kanye West's "Ye" hits a major milestone.

Kanye West is currently enjoying a lavish stay in Uganda, where he and his wife Kim Kardashian are rubbing shoulders with the President, hanging out with the kids and Big Sean, and dancing a la "Alien Ye." Though his legwork has since covered international ground, Kanye's home base of North America has continued to hold it down for the controversial artist. On the heels of a recent tete-a-tete with Donald Trump, Kanye West has been on many-a-mind, and it's entirely possible that fans and haters alike once again turned to Ye for guidance. 

Now, Kanye's brief, Wyoming tracked album has hit a major sales milestone. It would appear the project has been officially certified gold, a respectable four months after the original release date. It's likely that the ongoing controversy surrounding his name has likely led to an increased play-count, though some likely returned to the album reluctantly. In any case, it's a good look for Yeezy, and further proof that his name continues to ring bells.
