Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s “WAP” single goes diamond
Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion have added another historic achievement to their careers, as their blockbuster collaboration “WAP“ has officially been certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The certification signifies that the single has surpassed 10 million units in sales and streaming equivalents in the United States, making it one of the biggest hip-hop songs of the modern era.
The accomplishment is especially significant for both artists. “WAP” becomes Cardi B’s fourth Diamond-certified single, further extending her place among the most commercially successful rappers in music history. For Megan Thee Stallion, the certification marks a career first, as “WAP” is now her first Diamond-certified single.
The milestone arrives during a busy stretch for both stars, with Cardi recently releasing new music and Megan continuing to appear on several notable collaborations throughout 2026.
“WAP” Continues To Stand The Test Of Time
Released in August 2020, “WAP” became an instant sensation. Produced by Ayo & Keyz, the record debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and immediately dominated streaming platforms, radio stations, and social media. Its bold lyrics, unforgettable production, and undeniable chemistry between Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion helped transform it into one of the defining records of the decade.
The song quickly became a global talking point, inspiring dance trends, viral memes, and countless online conversations. While it generated plenty of debate when it first arrived, its commercial success never slowed down. Millions of listeners continued streaming the song long after its release, allowing it to remain one of the biggest records of the 2020s.
Now, six years later, the Diamond certification proves that “WAP” has maintained incredible longevity. Very few hip-hop songs ever reach the 10-million-unit milestone, making the achievement another reminder of the record’s lasting cultural and commercial impact.
Cardi B Earns Her Fourth Diamond Single
Cardi B continues to strengthen her legacy with yet another Diamond plaque.
With “WAP” officially reaching Diamond status, Cardi now owns four Diamond-certified singles, placing her in elite company among artists with multiple songs reaching the prestigious milestone. Since exploding onto the scene with “Bodak Yellow,” Cardi has consistently delivered records that connect with mainstream audiences while dominating streaming services and radio.
Her ability to release music that resonates with both hip-hop fans and pop audiences has helped establish one of the strongest hit catalogs of her generation. Even with a relatively selective release schedule over the years, Cardi’s biggest songs continue to attract millions of streams and remain staples across playlists worldwide.
Adding a fourth Diamond certification further demonstrates her consistency and staying power in an industry where maintaining long-term success is never guaranteed.
Cardi Keeps Fans Excited With “Ah Ha”
The Diamond announcement comes just one week after Cardi B returned with her highly anticipated new single, “Ah Ha.”
The release immediately generated excitement across social media as fans welcomed new solo music from the Grammy-winning rapper. Following months of anticipation, “Ah Ha” represents another important chapter in Cardi’s 2026 campaign as she continues building momentum with fresh material.
The new single also reminds listeners that Cardi remains one of the most anticipated artists whenever she releases music. Whether through chart-topping singles, collaborations, or headline-making performances, she continues to command attention whenever she steps back into the spotlight.
With “Ah Ha” now out and another Diamond certification added to her résumé, Cardi continues proving why she remains one of the biggest names in hip-hop.
Megan Thee Stallion Celebrates A Career First
While Cardi adds another Diamond honor, Megan Thee Stallion reaches an equally meaningful milestone.
“WAP” officially becomes the Houston rapper’s first Diamond-certified single, adding another accomplishment to an already impressive career that includes Grammy Awards, platinum albums, and numerous chart-topping records.
Since emerging as one of rap’s brightest stars, Megan has consistently delivered hit records while expanding her reach beyond hip-hop. Her confidence, lyrical ability, and energetic performances have helped establish her as one of the defining artists of her generation.
Receiving her first Diamond certification reflects not only the enduring popularity of “WAP,” but also the continued growth of Megan’s catalog. It is another achievement that highlights how impactful her career has become since breaking into the mainstream.
Megan Has Stayed Busy Throughout 2026
Megan has also maintained a busy release schedule this year through several high-profile collaborations.
She recently appeared on BossMan Dlow’s “Motion Party (Remix),” adding another standout guest verse to one of the year’s biggest rap records. She also joined Juvenile on the “BBB (Remix),” bringing together different generations of Southern hip-hop for an exciting collaboration.
In one of her most unique appearances of the year, Megan teamed up with legendary tenor Andrea Bocelli, superstar producer David Guetta, and vocalist EJAE on “DNA,” a song featured on the official FIFA World Cup album. The collaboration showcased her willingness to explore music beyond traditional hip-hop while reaching audiences around the world.
These collaborations have kept Megan highly visible throughout 2026 and demonstrate her versatility across multiple styles and genres.
A Historic Collaboration That Still Resonates
Few collaborations have made an impact quite like “WAP.” What began as one of the biggest releases of 2020 has evolved into one of the most successful rap singles ever recorded.
For Cardi B, the Diamond certification represents another historic milestone, giving her a remarkable fourth Diamond single and reinforcing her status as one of hip-hop’s biggest commercial stars. For Megan Thee Stallion, the certification delivers her first Diamond plaque, marking another major achievement in a career that continues to reach new heights.
At the same time, both artists remain focused on the future. Cardi has already begun her next chapter with the release of “Ah Ha,” while Megan continues to stay active through major collaborations that showcase her versatility and global appeal.
As “WAP” officially joins the exclusive list of Diamond-certified songs, its legacy is firmly secured. The record continues to stand as one of the defining hip-hop anthems of its era, and this latest milestone serves as another reminder of the lasting influence Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion have had on music, culture, and the charts.
