Drake Earns RIAA 10x Platinum for "Nice For What"

Canadian artist Drake's single "Nice For What" has been certified 10x Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), a milestone signifying 10,000,000 certified units. The certification for the R&B/Hip-Hop track was awarded on October 24, 2025. Released under the Cash Money, Young Money, and Republic Records labels, the song has now officially reached Diamond status, one of the most prestigious sales benchmarks in the music industry.

Released on April 6, 2018, "Nice For What" served as the second single from Drake's fifth studio album, Scorpion. The song is noted for its New Orleans bounce-inflected sound and its theme of female empowerment in the digital age. Its production was handled by Murda Beatz, Noah "40" Shebib, and Corey Litwin, with co-production from Blaqnmild and additional vocals from Big Freedia and 5th Ward Weebie. The track is built around a prominent sample of Lauryn Hill's "Ex-Factor," which itself samples Wu-Tang Clan's "Can It Be All So Simple." This layered sampling resulted in songwriting credits for Hill, all eight members of Wu-Tang Clan, and the writers of "The Way We Were," Marvin Hamlisch, Alan Bergman, and Marilyn Bergman.

Upon its release, "Nice For What" achieved immediate commercial success. The single debuted at number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, notably replacing Drake's own song, "God's Plan," at the top spot and becoming his fifth number-one single in the country. The track also topped the charts in the United Kingdom and Australia, further cementing its global impact and contributing to its rapid accumulation of sales and streaming equivalents that led to its Diamond certification.
