Young Money’s First Lady celebrated the achievement on Tuesday by posting a video on Instagram showing off her brand new diamond plaque as “Super Bass” plays in the background.
In the caption, she thanked her labels — Young Money, Cash Money and Republic Records — as well as “Super Bass” producer Kane Beatz and songwriter Esther Dean. She also showed love to Taylor Swift, whose support of the song helped its initial success.
“#SuperBassDiamond Thank you for over a decade of support,” Nicki wrote. “#Barbz (special thx to Ester Dean, Kane, Juice, Taylor Swift, Sofia Grace & Rosie, Ellen, Young Money/Cash Money & Republic. This one was released b4 the streaming era, so millions of fans actually purchased the song. I’m so grateful for you guys. Sending love & blessings your way.”
Nicki Minaj is only the second female rapper ever to score a diamond song. Her former rival, Cardi B, became the first to achieve this historic feat earlier this year when her 2017 hit “Bodak Yellow” surpassed 10 million sales in March 2021.
