AKA goes platinum with 'Touch My Blood'

AKA (also known as Kiernan Forbes) has attained a level of success that most rappers could only dream of. The 'Fela In Versace' rapper's album Touch My Blood, has officially received a platinum certificate. This means that Forbes sold a 30 000 albums, putting him in the same league as Kwesta who sold 210 000 units of ' Dakar 2', and Emtee who's debut album sold more than 40 000 copies. 

In the US, artists have to sell at least 1 million units in order to be certified platinum. Nevertheless, AKA took to social media to brag about his success, saying: "Ooh yeah ... this peace and quiet is amazing. That Platinum really shut them the f*** up."
