J. Cole’s 2014 smash hit ‘No Role Modelz’ was certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), which is already far beyond the sales of 14 million units
This certification, proclaimed on December 10, already took the song far above the Diamond mark of ten million and into the arms of 14-dimensional platinum. By this, “No Role Modelz” has become Cole’s second Diamond song after “Middle Child,” which earned its crown in July.
However, “Middle Child” has never topped the Billboard Hot 100; after a debut at No. 26, it peaked at No. 4 and has become one of the most iconic tracks from Cole.
Despite the claims that “No Role Modelz” went diamond two years ago, the official certification was issued only this week.
