Yesterday, a number of Drake’s most popular songs were given new awards by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) but the one that has most people talking is the diamond plaque he’ll be receiving for “God’s Plan.” It will possibly end up as Drizzy’s most popular song of all time and, as it continues picking up streams, the Canadian takes one step closer to meeting Eminem as some of the only rappers to have accomplished multiple diamond cuts. As reported by All Hip Hop, this is the first diamond-certified single of Drake’s career. He joins Wiz Khalifa (“See You Again,”) Eminem (“Lose Yourself,” “Not Afraid,” and “Love The Way You Lie,”) and Macklemore (“Thrift Shop”) as the only rappers to have achieved this goal.
Congratulations to Drake on this tremendous accomplishment. He’ll surely earn two more before it’s all said and done, marking him right up there with Eminem as two of the greatest of all time.
