Lil Wayne’s Lollipop’ certified Diamond

Song has been certified by the RIAA

Multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning music mogul Lil Wayne has garnered his first Diamond certification from the RIAA for his generational smash “Lollipop” featuring Static Major. He personally shared a video unboxing the plaque on his social media.

As the legendary rapper’s biggest single ever, “Lollipop” held No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for five non-consecutive weeks and picked up a Grammy Award in the category of Best Rap Song. It has clocked over one billion streams, and it notably graced the track listing of his Grammy Award-winning 8x Platinum 2008 classic Tha Carter III. Meanwhile, the single included posthumous vocals from Static Major, enshrining the singer’s legacy as well.

Recently, it has enjoyed a renaissance. Last month, it emerged as the No. 1 sound on TikTok’s US Top Tracks and vaulted to No. 2 on the Viral chart. He also delivered a scorching performance of “Lollipop” on Amazon Music Live hosted by 2 Chainz.

To date, Lil Wayne has gathered five Grammy Awards, sold 120 million records worldwide, notched 25 Top 10 singles, logged five No. 1 debuts on the Billboard Top 200, and scored 62 Gold, Platinum, and multi-Platinum certifications. The “greatest rapper alive” is back and better than ever in 2023.
