If you’re not a fan of NBA YoungBoy's music, it's hard to ignore the immense grip he has over the hip-hop landscape. At just 26 years of age, this Baton Rouge sensation is not only a cultural icon but an undeniable hitmaker, thanks in large part to his relentless work ethic which has led him to an astonishing milestone.
NBA YoungBoy has officially become the most RIAA-certified rapper in history, surpassing legends like Drake, Jay-Z, and Kanye West. To say he’s decimating the competition is an understatement!
Currently, the creator of Make America Slime Again boasts an incredible 126 RIAA certifications. To put this into perspective, at the same age, Drake had around 45-60 certifications, and Taylor Swift was hovering around 60-80.
What's even more mind-blowing is that NBA YoungBoy earned 36 new plaques just this week alone, most of which are solo singles—showing he doesn’t need collaborations to dominate the charts.

Achieving this milestone highlights YB's unique ability to create hit after hit, positioning him to potentially reach heights in awards no other rapper may ever see. While The Beatles currently hold the most RIAA awards ever, YoungBoy is a name to be reckoned with.
In fact, he’s just skyrocketed into 2026 with his latest album, Slime Cry, featuring an impressive 30 tracks along with rare collaborations with Jelly Roll and Burna Boy. Originally set for release in November 2025, this marks his fourth release of the year following More Leaks, MASA, and DESHAWN.
