stop talking like someone who doesn't understand facts from fiction. Anything can be twisted or even faked to fit a specific narrative I'm not Saying davido isn't a platnum worthy artist I'm saying his album "A GOOD TIME" didn't achieve platnum status (i.e An equivalent of 1 million copies sold or shipped) in the USA as the OP said there and it can't even if davido puts all his entire discography on it. Abeg don't misquote me I don't appreciate it.

The news is all over the internet including US news outlets. You know better than all of them. Davido faked all of them. They can’t check the facts for themselves

go and read those articles and confirm with your eyes did any of them say platnum in the USA?



NOW READ THIS
davido's second studio album "A good time" recently got certified by the RISA. Not the RIAA that's in charge of cerification in the United States.

The Recording Industry of South Africa (RISA) represents the interests of major and independent record labels in South Africa. There are approximately 1,000 members, including the big four record labels, Sony Music Africa, Universal Music, EMI and Warner (part of Gallo Warner in South Africa).

According to the RISA website, a platinum cerification represents a sale of 30,000 units, while a gold certification represents a sale of 15,000 units.

You just made a fools out of yourself, unintelligent people like you like to argue blindly even though the tide is against you,the artiste in question did not claim he received a platinum plaque.
Stars like Chris brown ,Eminem that are 10 times bigger than him are still chasing platinum, anybody with half a brain would know the news is crap,but y'all are easy targets that's why bloggers keep churning out garbage for you.
Wtf knows davido in the US,son gets your facts right before running your mouth.

So your brainless skull didn't know that Davido never mentioned anything like Platinum before you started calling him a liar.?


Is it Davido fault that the bloggers decided to spin the story?


How many Americans do you even know?

If u answer “Yes”, case closed.

I just read on Wikipedia that since 2013, owing to digitalization, track downloads and streaming are now part of the method being used to measure the number of records sold, it's no longer actual disc sold again. So, it's possible davido songs and album has actually achieved the platinum certification.

Sony posted and said more about it on Twitter, instead of arguing what you don't know isn't it better you go there and educate yourself, too many "know it all" on nairaland.
You just shot yourself in the face in a bid to sound out of the norm, if you were educated you'd know the difference between a correction and a rant.
Even a teenager with half a brain that knows one or two things about music will know he didn't get no platinum plaque.
FYI I'm on tweeter now and I've not seen the nonsense you said Sony posted.
If you can't get your facts rights do not try to banter words with people who reason better than you do.

Anybody with a working brain should know he didn't get a platinum plaque for his album, even big names like Chris brown which made album significant don't have platinum plaques.

For your mind now you have shared a testimony? You have simply chronicled the gist of an unfortunate life you are living. You have planted wind and you will definitely reap thunderstorm.
You called it G, that you did G in December. Stop using euphemism and call it what it is.
You made someone cry in December.
Or better still,
You stole from someone in December.
Or,
You used deceit to steal from someone in December.

So no matter what you call it, and no matter how far you go in life, you will always be a thief. The tree you planted from the seed of stealing will not produce for you any acceptable fruit. You will reap the fruits of bitterness from it.

All of you Nigerians that keep walking the path of stealing which you call G, you shall reap violence and destruction. So shall it be. Ase gun!



How come it didn’t work like that for Buhari, or OBJ, or IBB, or Danjuma, or Rawlings? They killed people!! And how come innocent good people wallow in poverty?
Just asking

Okay Sir, so tell me ...what was presented to him? Is the plaque made for only American musicians or America? Stop being foolish and quit ranting like a mad dog, you're just insulting everyone on this thread and you know nothing, put that energy to work and make yourself a better human, this is my last reply to you, I've got better things to do with my life, wether plaque or not It adds nothing to my life, I have better things to think of, get busy boy and stop letting little things bother you, I won't be surprise if you're still living with your parents, good night
