Drake Makes History As First Ever Artist With 10 Diamond Records, Social Media Reminds Haters
Source: Prince Williams / Getty Drake set a wild new record; he's now the only artist with 10 diamond-certified tracks under his belt. The RIAA confirmed that both 'Hold On, We're Going Home' and his breakout banger 'Best I Ever Had' have officially gone diamond, meaning each has moved over 10 million units. That puts him at the top, passing every other artist in the game when it comes to diamond hits. Once the news hit Instagram, the reactions were all over the place. Some fans gave him his flowers, with one person writing, 'You can't hate on this… greatness right here.' But the Kendrick vs. Drake debate popped right back up. A Kendrick fan jumped in saying, 'Nobody said Drake didn't have hits, we just saying Dot raps better. The machine behind Drake been running strong for years.' While everyone's talking numbers, Drake's already back in the lab. He told Adin Ross during a stream on Kick that he's cooking up something new, calling the next project a 'slap.' His post on IG with the caption 'Iceman' had fans guessing that it might be tied to the name or vibe of his next drop. If true, it'll be his first solo album since For All the Dogs in 2023. On top of that, he's linking up with Kai Cenat for a new music video for 'SOMEBODY LOVES ME.' They're running a contest where fans can submit their ideas for a chance to win $15K and get featured in the final cut. Drake even popped up at Cenat's 'Streamer University' event last weekend, keeping his finger on the pulse of what's hot online. At this point, Drake isn't just breaking records, he's rewriting the rules.

Footage from the night shows Drake alone in the club, wearing a massive coat, focused on gambling on a big screen. As one of his bets doesn't go his way, he is heard expressing frustration, but the most unexpected part of the scene is the soundtrack—Sabrina Carpenter's hit song "Espresso" blaring through the speakers. Drake rented a whole club to himself just to gamble & listen to Sabrina Carpenter 😭😭 — FearBuck (@FearedBuck) March 5, 2025 Social media quickly picked up on the hilarious contrast between Drake's high-roller lifestyle and the bubbly pop anthem.

Some fans previously speculated that UMG attempted to overshadow Drake's Valentine's Day album release by scheduling Carpenter's deluxe album drop on the same day. However, Drake's latest move suggests there is no bad blood between them. The viral video proves once again that Drake's ability to turn a simple night out into a headline-making event is unmatched.
