Cardi B has extended her historic record as the female rapper with the most RIAA Diamond-certified songs in music history. Following official certification updates from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), the Grammy-winning artist has further distanced herself at the top of the hip-hop record books.
The milestone comes after her 2020 anthem “WAP” featuring Megan Thee Stallion crossed the 10 million units sold threshold in the United States, earning an official Diamond certification.
The Four Diamond Smash Hits: Cardi B’s roster of Diamond records includes her breakout solo hit “Bodak Yellow,” the Latin-infused smash “I Like It” with Bad Bunny and J Balvin, her featured verse on Maroon 5’s “Girls Like You,” and her collaboration “WAP”.
Leading the Female Rap Field: With four Diamond plaques under her belt, Cardi B maintains sole possession of the record for the most Diamond songs by any female rap artist, surpassing longtime rival Nicki Minaj and all other peers in the genre.
Commercial Legacy: Achieving Diamond status requires moving 10 million certified units via streaming and sales combined, a feat achieved by only a tiny fraction of hip-hop singles.
Cardi B’s unmatched record of Diamond-certified tracks highlights her huge crossover appeal and streaming dominance. As her catalog continues to rack up massive sales figures, the Bronx rapper continues to solidify her spot in the music history books.
