Drake Earns Six Diamond RIAA Certifications Including ‘Take Care’ on 39th Birthday
The 6 God extended his record to 15 diamond singles.
Diamonds are still dancing on Drake. The 6 God celebrates his 39th birthday in style on Friday (Oct. 24) with 16 new RIAA certifications, including six diamond plaques.
Among the diamond certifications are Take Care and hits like “Nice for What,” “The Motto” featuring Lil Wayne, “Headlines,” “Passionfruit” and “Nonstop.” The OVO rapper has extended his record with 15 diamond-certified songs.
Other certifications include Drizzy albums such as Views (9x), If You’re Reading This It’s Too Late (5x) and For all the Dogs (3x).
Tracks moving up the certification ladder are “Chicago Freestyle” (5x), “Rich Baby Daddy” (3x), “Slime You Out” (2x), “Virginia Beach” (2x), “Hours in Silence” (2x) and “Rich Flex” with 21 Savage (5x).
Earlier this year, Nothing Was the Same‘s “Hold On We’re Going Home” and So Far Gone‘s “Best I Ever Had” entered the diamond club. With 16 plaques on the way, and more to come, it’s safe to say Drake will need more real estate in his trophy room.
Drake’s father, Dennis Graham, posted to Instagram on Friday with a photo presumably from the OVO birthday trip to the Bahamas. “Happy Birthday to my baby boy, what a time to celebrate with the ones you love,” he wrote.
After wrapping up the birthday festivities, all eyes will turn to Drake’s Iceman album’s arrival. Earlier this week, former NFL quarterback Johnny Manziel recapped his week on social media while hanging with Drake.
In his caption, the OVO affiliate teased Iceman. “Caught a flight to the Bahamas cause it’s Iceman time and the baccarat tables were calling my name,” he wrote.
