Offset Earns RIAA Gold for "Lick"

Offset's track "Lick" was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) on October 17, 2025, recognizing 500,000 certified units in the United States. Released under Quality Control Music and Motown Records, this marks the first RIAA award for the song. The digital single was part of the rapper's acclaimed debut solo album.

Released on February 22, 2019, "Lick" appeared on Offset's debut studio album, FATHER OF 4. The song's title is slang for an easy way to make money, and its lyrics explore the artist's rise from poverty to wealth. The album itself was a significant milestone, making Offset the third and final member of the hip-hop trio Migos to release a solo project. FATHER OF 4 debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 chart and featured a notable roster of guest artists, including J. Cole, Cardi B, Travis Scott, 21 Savage, and Quavo. The album was supported by the singles "Red Room" and the Grammy-nominated track "Clout."

Born Kiari Kendrell Cephus in Lawrenceville, Georgia, Offset rose to international fame as a member of the influential trap group Migos, which formed in 2010. Known for his distinctive speedy, triplet-based rhyme schemes, he contributed to the group's breakthrough with the 2013 hit "Versace" and their chart-topping albums Culture and Culture II. As a solo artist, he has achieved significant success, including the 2017 collaborative album Without Warning with 21 Savage and Metro Boomin, which featured the triple-platinum single "Ric Flair Drip." He followed his debut with a second studio album, Set It Off, in 2023, which peaked in the top five of the Billboard 200, cementing his status as a formidable solo act.
