The “Up” rapper, fresh off her Twitter deactivation, disclosed her 2017 hit single “Bodak Yellow” is a certified diamond hit.
The historical RIAA milestone is a first. Her breakout single is the first rap single to earn the coveted status.
The bop went 10-times platinum and has sold the same number of units. Cardi B is the first female rapper in RIAA history to achieve the landmark honor.
The organization posted a congratulatory tweet on Tuesday morning. Also, Cardi earned an award for the “WAP,”– which is five-times platinum.

“I know I’ve been rehearsing all day today. I’m really stressed out. My body’s aching,” Cardi said. “At rehearsal, they said to me, ‘Yo, you gotta meet up with Atlantic execs.’ I’m like, ‘Yo; I’m fucking tired like I don’t wanna talk about no Grammys, I don’t wanna talk about no album, I’m just tired.”
