In a year of milestones for 50 Cent, the rapper’s iconic track “In Da Club” just added another feather to his cap. Celebrating two decades since the release of his groundbreaking album Get Rich or Die Tryin’, the rapper’s festivities were heightened when he learned that “In Da Club” achieved diamond status, as certified by the RIAA.
The track, which became an instant classic upon its 2003 release, not only catapulted 50 Cent to global fame but also etched its place in music history by soaring to the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100. This marked 50 Cent’s premier venture to such a coveted position.
Chart Data highlighted that the anthem was honored with the diamond certification on November 1, two decades post its debut. This distinction places “In Da Club” in an elite group, being the 43rd rap track to earn this honor.
50 Cent, always one to share his milestones with fans, took to social media to express his gratitude and joy. He posted, “In Da Club has officially reached Diamond with 10,000,000 singles sold. Being the 43rd Hip Hop track to go Diamond and one of the 121 songs ever to achieve this is truly special. Feeling on top of the world!”
Serving as the spearhead for his 2003 album, “In Da Club” was not just a chart-topping hit but a cultural phenomenon. Produced by the legendary Dr. Dre, it established 50 Cent as a force to be reckoned with in the rap industry.
Moreover, earlier in the year, the track crossed the one billion streams threshold on Spotify. Recognizing this achievement, 50 Cent was awarded a commemorative plaque. Never one to shy away from imparting wisdom, he shared the accolade on social media.
