Kid Cudi is shining bright like a diamond…
The 40-year-old part-Mexican American singer, songwriter and actor’s 2008 breakout debut hit Day ‘N’ Nite is now a diamond-certified record by the Recording Industry Association of America.
The diamond certification is given to artists whose songs have moved 10 million units.
Plus, Cudi’s “Pursuit of Happiness,” featuring MGMT and Ratatat, earned a 12-times platinum status in the U.S., accumulating 12 million in equivalent song units.
According to the RIAA, one equivalent song unit is equal to a single digital song sale, or 150 on-demand audio and/or video streams.
“Wow, the blessings keep comin. This is HUGE. Yall did this man, im so thankful to have all the support and love Ive had for the past 16 years, and Im not even thinkin about stoppin no time soon,” he wrote on X. “TO ANYONE WHO BUMPED THIS SONG AND STILL DO TO THIS DAY, I LOVE YOU!!”
