Having a diamond-certified record for selling at least 10 million units is one of the highest accomplishments in the music industry and is a true indicator of being a superstar. In hip-hop, only a select number of rappers have achieved such accolades.<\/p>\n
Not long after Drake dropped the video for “God’s Plan”<\/a> in 2018, he said it was one of the most important things he\u2019s ever done.\u00a0One year later, the Grammy Award-winning lead single from Scorpion<\/em> helped the megastar earn his first diamond plaque\u00a0from\u00a0the Recording Industry Association of America<\/a>.\u00a0Not only did “God’s Plan” top\u00a0the Billboard Hot 100 for more than 11 weeks,\u00a0but as of 2025, Drizzy’s hit has officially been certified 16 times platinum. Drake now has 15 total diamond songs\u2014the most for any artist ever. He alos has a diamond album, with Take Care<\/em> surpassing 10 million unites in October of 2025.<\/p>\n Eminem, one of the highest-selling and all-around\u00a0most successful hip-hop artists ever, has crafted a\u00a0number of albums and singles that have sold\u00a0in excess of 10 million copies.\u00a0He’s earned diamond plaques for\u00a0the Rihanna-assisted “Love the Way You Lie,” 2010\u2019s “Not Afraid” and his classic anthem “Lose Yourself,” as well as the albums The Eminem Show<\/em> and The Marshall Mathers LP<\/em>. It\u00a0remains to be seen if his\u00a02024 album,\u00a0The Death of Slim Shady<\/em>\u00a0(Coup de Grace) can spawn any diamond-certified hits, but with a track record as stellar as this, the odds\u00a0are looking fairly good for Marshall.<\/p>\n In 2023,\u00a050 Cent’s smash single\u00a0“In Da Club” went diamond.\u00a0The most recent member of the exclusive club is\u00a0Jay-Z, whose Big Apple anthem “Empire State of Mind” with Alicia Keys reached diamond status in July of 2024.<\/p>\n As a result of collaborations with pop stars like Justin Bieber, Robin Thicke and Katy Perry, Southern legends like Ludacris, T.I. and Juicy J have also\u00a0landed spots in\u00a0the diamond club.<\/p>\n Check out\u00a0the 62 rap acts who have all gone diamond below.<\/p>\n Having a diamond-certified record for selling at least 10 million units is one of the highest accomplishments in the music industry and is a true indicator of being a superstar.
