In an interview with Washington, D.C. radio station 93.9 The Fam In the Morning, Kevin Gates alleges that a woman from Apple told him that Islah outsold Rihanna’s ANTI and was actually #1.
Gates released Islah in January and sold more than 100,000 copies in its first week.
ANTI was also released that same week and it is being alleged that a woman at Apple told the Baton Rouge, Louisiana rapper that Rihanna‘s album was not truly #1 since Samsung bought a million copies.
“Samsung paid for Rihanna’s CDs and that’s not fair, so you’re really #1,” Kevin says. “This what that lady [at Apple] said.”
The million ANTI copies Samsung purchased was given free to fans exclusively through TIDAL whether they were a subscriber or not after her project was leaked on the Internet.
ANTI was also made available for purchase through iTunes. Rihanna sat at the #1 spot on the iTunes chart after fans bought her album.
Kevin Gates was bumped down to #2.
Additionally, ANTI entered the Billboard’s Top 200 chart at #27 and was certified platinum by the RIAA since Samsung bought 1 million copies of the project.
