Lil Nas X has already galloped into history books multiple times over the last three months thanks to his inaugural megahit, ‘Old Town Road.’

In addition to stomping all over streaming records previously set by the likes of Drake, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, and more, the 20-year-old’s seen the tune – currently #1 for its 14th consecutive week – rival the longevity and impact of some of the Billboard Hot 100’s longest running chart-toppers ever.

Now, as the song continues to fend off competition from the tally’s perch, it is being greeted with new reports that it has been certified Diamond by the RIAA for sales equivalence that has exceeded over 10 million units.  The achievement makes him the second artist to ever reach Diamond status while still occupying the Hot 100’s summit.  In fact, the only other artist to do this was Elton John – who laid claim to the first ever Diamond single with 1997’s ‘Candle in the Wind.’

While we extend our congrats to X, look inside to see who joins him in the top 25 on this week’s ‘TGJ Chart Check: Hot 100’ edition:

‘No Time’ rapstress Lil Kim has taken to Instagram to remind the media she has no time for outlets who don’t ‘put some respect on her name.’

The diva, hot on the promo trail in support of new music and the highly anticipated forthcoming VH1 reality show, ‘Girls Cruise’ (as we reported here), is bringing the jaunt to a screeching halt after she received word some of the very networks set to interview her were wielding disparaging remarks about her.

‘The Jump Off’ rapstress may have briefly jumped on the cases of ‘The Today Show’ and ‘Access Hollywood’ (where she says she was due to appear on July 11), but Andy Cohen – host of Bravo’s ‘Watch What Happens Live‘ – got the worst tongue lashing of all.

The Queen Bee stings await inside:

As reported, ‘The Lion King’ made an almighty roar at its world premiere last night in Los Angeles.

Stars and critics alike have been raving after being the first to see the Jon Favreau blockbuster – which is led by Donald Glover (in the role of Simba).
