Cardi B's "WAP" Makes History—Fourth Diamond Single, Nicki in the Rearview

"WAP" went diamond, and that means Cardi B officially has more certified diamond singles than Nicki Minaj. That's a huge flex in the numbers game—the kind of stat that gets brought up in every "greatest of this era" debate for the next decade.

It's wild because for years the conversation around who dominated rap in the 2010s and 2020s has been layered. Nicki's catalog, her pen game, the longevity—all legit. But records are records, and Cardi just etched her name in a way that can't be argued with. Four diamond certifications is generational company.

"WAP" doing this work is fitting, too. The song defined a moment, sparked conversations, and stayed culturally relevant in a way that transcended streaming numbers. That's how records go diamond—they don't just chart, they stay.

This doesn't diminish Nicki's impact or legacy. But it does confirm something we've been watching unfold: Cardi's trajectory has been undeniable since she arrived. Whether you rank them one way or another is personal taste. The diamond count, though? That's just facts.
