So, does the universe ever just wink at you like it did with Drake this week? The Toronto rap titan clinched a record-breaking milestone on May 28th — now officially holding the crown for the most RIAA Diamond-certified singles ever. Ten spotless, 10-times Platinum jewels in his crown, including heavy hitters like “Hold On, We’re Going Home” and “Best I Ever Had.” And get this: in classic Drake fashion, he didn’t utter a peep — just a slick, understated nod on his Instagram Story, proving once again that silence is the loudest flex in the room. While Mercury might have been swirling in retrograde chaos, Drake was busy engraving his name into music history, outshining legends like Garth Brooks and Post Malone. Oh, and just when you thought the week couldn’t get hotter? He dropped the big news — OVO Fest is making its grand comeback this summer. Coincidence or cosmic timing? Let’s unpack the magic. LEARN MORE.
Drake just made music history, racking up another mind-boggling accolade, but didn’t say a word about it.
The Toronto rapper now holds the record for the most Diamond-certified singles in RIAA history, hitting a total of 10 as of Tuesday (May 28).
The latest tracks to reach the coveted 10-times Platinum milestone are “Hold On, We’re Going Home” and “Best I Ever Had,” both certified in May. They join a stacked list that includes “God’s Plan,” “One Dance,” “SICKO MODE” with Travis Scott, “Life Is Good” with Future, “No Guidance” with Chris Brown, and “Love Me” with Lil Wayne.
The Recording Industry Association of America confirmed the milestone, stating: “Drake has the most RIAA Diamond Certifications of any artist, ever.”
That puts him ahead of Garth Brooks and Post Malone, who each have nine Diamond plaques to their names.
Drake is also the first artist to hit double digits in Diamond certifications across both singles and albums.
True to form, Drake acknowledged the achievement with a silent flex—posting the news to his Instagram Story without a caption.
But that wasn’t the only headline he made this week.
During a surprise appearance at Central Cee’s show in Toronto on Saturday (May 24), Drake dropped a bombshell. He revealed OVO Fest is officially coming back this summer.
“I’ll see you this summer, by the way,” he told the crowd. “OVO Fest will be back this year.”
He also turned to Central Cee and added, “We’ll need you there for that.”

The festival, which launched in 2010, hasn’t been held since 2022. That last edition featured a Young Money reunion with Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne. Drake is yet to announce lineup, venue or dates, but the return has already stirred buzz across social media.
