“Breakin’ speed records on roads that these n—-s paved,” Drake raps on Scorpion‘s “Emotionless.” The 6 God collected another impressive accolade on Wednesday (May 28) when the RIAA announced that Drizzy has earned his 10th Diamond certification, which is the most of any artist ever.

“Drake has the most RIAA Diamond Certifications of any artist, ever,” the RIAA wrote on social media with a graphic featuring all 10 of Drizzy’s Diamond plaques. “‘Hold On, We’re Going Home’ and ‘Best I Ever Had’ are now certified RIAA Diamond, bringing Drake to a total of 10 Diamond Certifications.”


Outside of classics such as Nothing Was the Same‘s “Hold On, We’re Going Home” or “Best I Ever Had,” the rest of Drizzy’s Diamond club includes “God’s Plan,” “One Dance,” “Hotline Bling,” Travis Scott’s “SICKO MODE,” “Life Is Good” with Future, Lil Wayne’s “Love Me” and Chris Brown’s “No Guidance.”

There could be an 11th Diamond plaque on the way, as Drake will look to extend his record with Scorpion‘s “Nice for What,” which is currently at 9x Platinum.

Drake is the first artist to enter double-digit Diamond certifications across both singles and albums. The OVO rapper broke a tie with Garth Brooks, who has nine Diamond-certified albums, along with Post Malone, who also has nine Diamond certifications across an array of singles.

Fans hopped into the RIAA’s comment section to give Drake his flowers. “You just simply can’t say anything bad about this lol. N—-s staring greatness in the face,” one person wrote.

Another added a reference to Drake’s war with Kendrick Lamar: “Looks like the 20v1 didn’t work out!”

The hard work continues to pay off for Drizzy, who is enjoying another busy year. On the music side, he delivered his long-awaited $ome $exy $ongs 4 U joint album with PARTYNEXTDOOR in February. A pair of songs from the project (“Nokia” at No. 12 and “Somebody Loves Me” at No. 77) remain on the Billboard Hot 100.

Drake will heat up the summer when he hits the Wireless Festival stage to headline all three nights (July 11-13) at London’s Finsbury Park. He’s also promising the return of OVO Fest to Toronto.
