The rapper also received wishes from the likes of Nicki Minaj, Drake, Kanye West, Snoop Dogg, NBA Youngboy, Janet Jackson, Missy Elliott and more. The Young Money Huncho now has more reason to celebrate as he now earns over 20 new RIAA certifications for some of his classic records.
Among the Weezy hits to get new plaque-worthy certifications is the 2 Chainz collaboration “Rich as F**k,” which has been certified triple-platinum. The song, which appears on Wayne’s I Am Not a Human Being sequel, was certified gold by the RIAA in December 2013.
Other RIAA honours for Weezy include a double-platinum certification for “Fireman,” an eight-times multi-platinum certification for Tha Carter III, platinum certifications for Drake’s “I’m Single” and Travis Scott’s “Let It Fly,” and more.
Weezy’s “Tha Carter 3” is now closing in on a Diamond as it is 8x Platinum. Wayne’s other hits like “Love Me” & “6 Foot 7 Foot” are 7x Platinum, while “A Milli” is “6x Platinum”. Lil Wayne’s 2010 Eminem collaboration “Drop The World” is now 5x Platinum.
