Written by djfrosty on January 29, 2025
Don’t ever play yourself, DJ Khaled stays winning. According to the RIAA, the We the Best mogul racked up another 17 new certifications on Wednesday (Jan. 29) to go along with his new diamond plaque for “I’m the One.”
Outside of “I’m the One,” other standout certifications include Rihanna and Bryson Tiller’s “Wild Thoughts” at 8x-platinum, “Wish Wish,” Drake’s “Pop Star” and “For Free” as well as anthems like “I’m on One,” “No New Friends” and “Take It to the Head.”
“#FANLUV SWIPE ALERT DJ KHALED OVER 75 MILLION + RECS SOLD,” Khaled wrote to IG. “Also here’s 17 new @riaa_awards certifications alert thank you for over 20 years of riding with me, supporting @wethebest and spreading LOVE!”

He continued: “75 MILLION RECORDS SOLD ! And counting! Bless up @riaa_awards and all my partners! #WILDTHOUGHTS with the queen @badgalriri 8X PLATINUM #IMTHEONE DIAMOND And 17 new certifications!”
“I’m the One” arrived in April 2017 and launched at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 with some help from Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne, Chance the Rapper and Quavo.
While the accolades and plaques continue to pile up, don’t think Khaled isn’t still hard at work. Khaled has more heat on the way for 2025, as he teased fans by telling them to have their popcorn ready for his Til Next Time album.
“#FANLUV I been enjoying FAMILY TIME and that’s ALL THE TIME but I also been cooking! Just wait til I show you…ima just say this GET YOUR POPCORN,” he added.
Khaled kicked off 2025 squashing his decades-long beef with 50 Cent when the pair dapped up at MLB legend Reggie Jackson’s Mr. October Foundation Celebrity Golf Classic in Port St. Lucie, Florida earlier this month. Their beef dated back to the mid-2000s when G-Unit was feuding with Fat Joe.
