Rihanna Reaches Another RIAA Milestone

June 3, 2024

Rihanna will have to make room for some more diamond plaques soon. The pop star recently earned four more diamond certifications via The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) — bringing her total number to seven. Among the songs selected are her and Jay-Z’s “Umbrella,” and “Work,” featuring Drake and Anti‘s “Needed Me” and 2012’s “Stay.”

The Fenty founder hopped on X to share the news, reposting a congratulatory graphic that Roc Nation dedicated to her. “Ain’t no back n forth,” Rihanna wrote in the post’s caption. Along with the four new diamond certifications and “Diamonds” added last month, Rihanna’s 2010 song “Love the Way You Lie” with Eminem (certified on May 9, 2013) and 2011 single “We Found Love” round out her extensive collection. It’s been nearly a decade since Rihanna released her last project, 2016’s Anti.

In other news, when the singer and entrepreneur isn’t breaking records she’s on mommy duty. She shares two children — RZA and Riot — with A$AP Rocky. In a recent interview, she expressed interest in having more children. “I don’t know what God wants, but I would go for more than two. I would try for my girl. But of course, if it’s another boy, it’s another boy.” The singer reveals that COVID-19 allowed her to reflect on motherhood before giving birth to RZA in 2022.
