DJ Khaled continues to achieve major success in the music industry. On January 29, the We the Best mogul earned 17 new certifications from the RIAA, adding to his impressive collection of awards. Among these, his hit song “I’m the One” achieved a diamond certification, marking a significant milestone in his career.

Khaled shared his excitement on Instagram, thanking his fans for their continued support over the past two decades. “75 MILLION RECORDS SOLD! And counting!” he wrote, highlighting his achievements. His post also included a shout-out to his partners and fans for helping him reach these milestones.
“I’m the One,” which features Justin Bieber, Lil Wayne, Chance the Rapper, and Quavo, was released in April 2017 and quickly climbed to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
