Rapper Cardi B has outsold Nicki Minaj in the United States.
She became the highest-certified female rapper in US history after surpassing Minaj in credited units.
The body responsible for certifying songs based on unit sales in the US, shows that Cardi currently has sold 107 million units while Minaj sold 106 million units.
Minaj has sold more records than Cardi B but most of her hits were features which weren’t credited to her on the RIA site.
Meanwhile, Alicia Keys has earned her first-ever diamond single in the U.S. Her 2009 collaborative hit with JAY-Z, ‘Empire State of Mind’ was recently certified Diamond by RIA for selling 10 million units in the United States.
The song became JAY-Z’s third diamond single, joining ‘N****s In Paris’ with Kanye West and ‘Umbrella’ with Rihanna.
“Four times a BRIT Award winner, @Eminem receives a BRIT Billion Award having achieved 7 billion UK career streams!,” BRIT tweeted while sharing a picture of Eminem holding the award.
