UPDATE: Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s “WAP” Is Now Diamond

Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion have another major number attached to one of their biggest records.

The Recording Industry Association of America certified “WAP” Diamond on Monday, August 3. The designation represents 10 million certified units in the United States under the RIAA’s sales-and-streaming formula.

The certification gives Cardi B four Diamond singles and marks Megan Thee Stallion’s first song to reach the level. Cardi celebrated the news publicly and thanked listeners for continuing to stream the collaboration.

Released in August 2020, “WAP” opened at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and immediately became a major cultural conversation. Its commercial life did not end with the first-week headlines. Continued streaming, video viewing and catalog listening carried the record to the RIAA’s highest standard six years later.

That long runway matters. Diamond status is not simply a snapshot of launch-week attention; it measures sustained consumption on a scale only a small group of singles reaches. For two women in rap to share the milestone also strengthens the record’s place in the business history of the genre.

This item is labeled as an update because Cardi B appeared in Power1047’s July 28 coverage. The August 3 Diamond certification is a new, independently verifiable development—not a recycled angle on her touring activity.

For Megan, the certification adds a new career first. For Cardi, it expands an already unusual collection of Diamond records. Together, the result shows how a polarizing release can outlast the initial debate and become a durable catalog asset.
