Nicki Minaj has added even more bling to her crown, proving once again why she’s the undeniable Queen of Rap. The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) delivered some major accolades, further cementing her legacy in hip-hop history.
The same day Nicki celebrated her third Diamond certification for her 2012 smash hit Starships—which crossed the 10-million sales mark—she shattered more records. Minaj officially snatched back the title for most Gold-certified singles among female rappers, boasting 26 certified tracks compared to Doja Cat’s 25. Sorry, Doja, the Barbie has spoken!
But that’s not all. Nicki’s Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded has tied Cardi B’s Invasion of Privacy as the highest-certified album of the century by a female rapper, with both sitting at 4x Platinum. While Lauryn Hill’s iconic The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill holds the all-time crown at 10 million sold, Nicki’s achievements this week solidify her as the best-selling female rapper in U.S. history with a staggering 65.5 million records sold.
It’s been a whirlwind of wins for Minaj, who now holds the record for most Diamond-certified singles among female rappers alongside Cardi B. The PinkPrint hitmaker’s incredible longevity and consistent domination prove she’s a force to be reckoned with—whether it’s breaking records, topping charts, or redefining what it means to be a global rap superstar.
Nicki Minaj isn’t just a rapper; she’s a movement, and her reign shows no signs of slowing down. Your move, everyone else.
