— RIAA (@RIAA) May 28, 2025Fans flooded social media with praise, one noting, “You can’t say anything bad about this.” Others referenced Drake’s rivalry with Kendrick Lamar, joking, “The 20v1 didn’t work out!” The RIAA Diamond record underscores Drake’s dominance in hip-hop, as reported by Rolling Stone.
Despite achieving Diamond status in hip-hop, Drake continues to stay active in the music scene. His album, *$ome $exy $ongs 4 U*, released in February 2025 in collaboration with PARTYNEXTDOOR, features two tracks currently charting on the Billboard Hot 100. He is also set to headline the Wireless Festival in London from July 11 to 13 and will be relaunching OVO Fest in Toronto this summer.
