RIAA: Nicki Minaj Snatches All-Time Gold Singles Record from Doja Cat & Ties Cardi B’s ‘Privacy’ for Highest-Certified Female Rap Album of the Century

Published: Friday 29th Nov 2024 by Rashad

Rap Queen Nicki Minaj continues to get shiny Gold and Platinum gifts from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) to add to her already well-decorated crown!

The same day Nicki learned she earned her history-making third Diamond plaque from the RIAA for her 2012 hit ‘Starships‘ soaring past the 10-million sold mark, she was also penciled in the organization’s logs for breaking or tying other major records as well.

As previously reported, Minaj not only tied Cardi B for most Diamond-certified singles among female rappers but she also invaded the ‘Invasion of Privacy‘ hitmaker’s record for highest-certified album of the century among femcees.

At the time of this report the Harajuku Barbie’s sophomore album, ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded,’ sits at 4x Platinum (for sales of 4 million) just like ‘Privacy.’

The overall record belongs to Lauryn Hill‘s whose 1998 debut solo album ‘Miseducation‘ sits at over 10 million sold.

Fellow award-winning rapstress Doja Cat ended October with good news that she had broken Nicki’s record for most Gold-certified singles among female rappers.

Not even a month later, Minaj has snatched the title back as she now has 26 songs certified as high while Cat remains at 25.

Note: the RIAA does not include an artists’ featured hits in their respective career counts (unlike Billboard).

The latest slew of record-breaking achievements push Minaj’s cumulative sales to 65.5 million in the United States – making her the best-selling female rapper of all time in the country.

    Ok but she doesn’t have classics-hits or Albums like Lauryn Hill.

    So she’s maybe a queen but a queen of Pop-Rap and that’s not a very respectful title unlike:

    Missy Elliott the queen of Hip Hop-Rap

    Lauryn Hill is the queen of Soul-Rap

    Cardy B and Doja Cat are princesses of Pop-Rap, which in other words mean these b****** are Nicki’s sons.

    All these records are fabricated, paid for and smoke and mirrors. Just more fodder for f***** bottom Stan’s to argue over.
