Burna Boy equals Tems’ record in US

Grammy-winning singer, Damini Ogulu, aka Burna Boy, has tied Tems as the Nigerian artiste with the second most certified singles in RIAA history (4 each).

He achieved the feat following the Gold certification of his collaborative hit with British Grime star, Dave, ‘Location’ by the Recording Industry Association of America, RIAA, for the sale of 500,000 units in the country.

Burna Boy previously had three certified songs in the United States; ‘Last Last’ (Platinum), ‘Ye’ (Gold), and ‘On The Low’ (Gold).

Wizkid remains the must certified Nigerian artist in the U.S. with seven certified singles.

Meanwhile, American rapper J.Cole earned his first-ever diamond certified single as his 2019 smash hit ‘Middle Child’ joins the RIAA diamond league for selling 10 million units.

“J.Cole earns his first ever @RIAA Diamond single with ‘Middle Child’,” music monitoring platform, Chart Data tweeted Thursday.
