Fans still hot on Megan Thee Stallion‘s ‘Fever’ mixtape are not seeking a cure if the enduring success of the tunes aboard the project are to judge by.  Case in point?  The DaBaby-assisted cut ‘Cash Sh*t.’ 

Coming as the first top 40 hit of her career, ‘Cash’ – despite the absence of an official music video – has been given five star treatment on the promotional front.  Gifted live performances on ‘Tonight Show with Jimmy Kimmel’ as well as this year’s MTV Video Music Awards, BET Hip Hop Awards, and more, the visibility has helped the Lil Ju-produced cut maintain buoyancy on the Billboard Hot 100.

Now, thanks to more handsome streaming, airplay, and digital download figures added to its overall stats, the song marks a personal milestone for Megan as the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) reveals it’s become the first Platinum hit of her career.

Note:  “Platinum” certification denotes sales equivalence of one million units “sold” in the United States through streaming or traditional consumption.

As we extend our congratulations, look inside to see the top 25 and find out where ‘Cash’ landed on this week’s edition of ‘TGJ Chart Check.’

Kanye West elected Twitter as the primary means of promotion for latest album ‘Ye’ – and, at the time, his every waking thought.

Of said thoughts was his declaration of love for Donald Trump – the height of which saw him rock a ‘Make America Great Again’ hat.

Naturally, given the current racial tensions in the US, many of West’s Urban core lashed out at the rapper for betrayal. Not only of them, but of his earlier expressed stance about former US president George Bush not caring about Black people.

During their candid sit-down, Kimmel questioned Kanye on this in regards to Trump and his response was oh so telling.
