Eric Bellinger Goes Gold with ‘G.O.A.T. 2.O.’

Eric Bellinger earns himself a gold plaque. His Wale-assisted single “G.O.A.T. 2.0” is now certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) with over 500,000 units sold. Bellinger, who is an independent artist, publicized the feat on Instagram last Monday (Oct. 29).
