Drake has shattered another record after earning two more Diamond records.
The Recording Industry Association of America announced that the Canadian rapper has the most Diamond certifications ever. In a statement shared on Wednesday, May 28, the RIAA confirmed Drake received diamond certifications after his breakthrough hit “Best I Ever Had” and his 2013 banger "Hold On, We’re Going Home" sold over 10 million units. Drizzy has 12 diamond records in total, making him the most awarded artist in RIAA history. Up until now, Post Malone and country star Garth Brooks held the coveted title with nine certifications each.
Drake has racked up numerous Diamond certifications for his hits and other major collaborations. He earned his first Diamond record in 2021 after he joined forces with Bad Bunny on "MIA." Soon after, his other hits like "Hotline Bling," "God's Plan," and "One Dance" with WizKid and Kyla also reached Diamond status along with his collaborations with Romeo Santos ("Odio"), Future ("Life's Good"), Rihanna ("Work), Travis Scott ("Sicko Mode") and Lil Wayne ("Love Me"). The last Diamond certification Drake received was for Chris Brown's "No Guidance" in September 2024.
The news about Drake's latest achievement comes shortly after he announced the return of OVO Fest. He shared the update about his beloved music festival during his surprise performance at Central Cee's concert in Toronto over the weekend. Drizzy didn't go into detail, but he confirmed that the weekend-long event will make a comeback this summer. Hopefully, by then, fans will have an idea of when to expect his anticipated solo album.
Congratulations to Drake!
