Tory Lanez has gone platinum in under a minute.
The Toronto rapper is celebrating the success of his first-ever streaming NFT album When It’s Dark, which he claims sold 1 million copies in just 57 seconds.
Taking to Instagram, Tory shared video of himself receiving the exciting news as he popped champagne and ran around his backyard.
“A fuing million copies! I just went fuing platinum!” he screamed. “I just sold the equivalent units at $1. Sold a million copies flat and I made a million dollars in less than a fuing minute. Y’all try to hold me back. You can’t fuing stop me, my ni**a.”
Only 1 million albums were available starting at 5 p.m. ET on Tuesday (Aug. 10). Fans were able to pre-order up to 100 albums (e-NFTS) for $1, which included 7 new songs and 7 art pieces streaming exclusively via the E-NFT platform and app. After the initial 1 million units, albums are only available if buyers resell their E-NFT rights.
“I’m not even excited for me. I’m excited for y’all nias, bro,” Tory told his fans before jumping in the pool. “Y’all bout to resell this shit and make so much fuin’ bread.”
According to the One Umbrella boss, this is his most successful project yet. “I’ve never sold this much music so fast !!! I GUESS WHEN U CUT THE BULLSHIT OF THE MIDDLE MAN , U BECOME KING !!!” he said.
The album features Tory’s “When It’s Dark” freestyle on which he fires back at Cassidy after the “I’m a Hustla” rapper accused him of stealing his flow.
